Where have I been?
Several have noticed my absence from the forum and asked where I have been.Well, I have been around albeit rather infrequently. A year or so ago, we bought a home with our oldest daughter which has turned into a major renovation project that my wife calls the money pit.We are still living in a construction zone but the move has allowed me to return to my original hobby, ham radio. Financing the acquisition of the equipment necessary to get back on the air has required the liquidation of most of my watch collection. I once said that my 300 Master Coaxial could easily be my one and only and that has almost become a reality. it and my Speamaster are my last two Omegas and the Speamaster is about to go on the block.For those hams in the group, as soon as my antennae go up with warmer weather, look for me on the HF bands. In the meantime, try connecting to K4YK on D-star.But of course, I'll be at the Spring ATL GTG on the last Saturday in April.

Best strategy to buy GMT II BLNR?
Hey all! First time I'm posting here but I've been reading for several months now as I've been trying to figure out which Rolex I want as my first. Of course I've fallen in love with the GMT II BLNR (Batman) which is extremely hard to find from an AD.What's the best strategy? So far, I've put myself on several waitlists, but I feel like I'm getting bumped down spots each time I check in (do ADs give priority to their repeat customers?) I've seen a couple in gray markets/jewelers but I'm trying to avoid the ~1-2k markup given that this is my first purchase.Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
