Out of curiosity, to all BLNR owners, how many of you shall be flipping yours to get the new Ceramic SS Daytona?
Thanks.

The blnr and hulk are the 2 SS rolex watches I would not flip in general. They are just keepers IMO and will only go up in value.

Keeping BLNR + adding white Daytona C. Why would you want to flip a great watch?

Me neither, I won't flip it for the Daytona! Adding is more feasible.

Never. Never liked Daytona pre-ceramic but the Daytona-C looks fabulous but still will not flip BLNR for it.

probably financially speaking if it's worth keeping and then
adding or flip to replace if funds don't accommodate ....

That is what I meant in regards to flipping the BLNR for the new Ceramic Daytona, Financially Speaking. My apologies for not elaborating.

The BLNR and the fridge stay... I'd consider adding the DaytonaC if it's not ridiculously difficult to get. Or maybe I'll just get a washer and be done with it

If you want a new Daytona C, you can add it or flip the old SS or TT Daytona for it. It is nothing to do with the BLNR.
