New BLNR for myself + DJ2 for friend
I was in Paris and my business partner asked me to look for a blue face DJ2 if I decide to stop at a store.

Came across AD near the Champs Elysees, found his DJ2 and asked about the BNLR.

Was told they are hard to come by, they have one on hold and that they could order for me.

I told them I only go to Paris twice a year and would love to get my hands on one.

She showed me the one she had and I asked if it would be possible to have it.

They had one on the way and were able to make arrangement with the other customer.

This was also one of the only stores in Paris offering the full VAT back, so I got a decent deal as well.

For some odd reasons I never liked the GMT's until i started looking at all the pics of BNLR's on this forum and now I understand the love for it, it's great piece.

No discount, however full VAT back which brings the price of the BLNR down to about $7350, which is hard to beat for a new piece these days.

Sure, it was Arije right across from the George V near the Champs Elysees. They have a couple of locations in Paris.
