As above looking to purchase a Rolex gmt Blnr. I have my name down on a few waiting lists but no joy,anybody got any ideas how to get a hold of one or a good ad to try thanks in advance.

Don’t think anybody here would walk by a BLNR in an AD showcase and not buy it

Unless you want to pay over retail from a reseller, sadly your only hope is the lists you got your name on and patience.

You could have one tomorrow for $13k

You say that you have your name on a few waiting lists.

Have you actually visited the ADs, chatted to the staff, maybe visit more than once and get the conversation going.

If you've just telephoned the AD, I very much doubt you will be on any list.

Bite the bullet and buy from a trusted seller. Takuya Watches is great!

In the UK here. First purchase after zero trading with my AD other than servicing on an old TAG F1, and got it after 8 months. Called initially, then visited, then visited with the good lady who spec'd a lady DJ. That was late 2017 when I picked it up, has the situation changed dramatically?

Bite the bullet. Greet dealer or pre-owned (or both). Great watch and you won’t regret it!

mistercoach32 · 23 February 2019, 05:21 AM

Patience, grey dealer, or private seller are your only options.

Ive got a spare bnib stickered one you can have for 12k

emtee · 23 February 2019, 07:07 AM

I think you’re best chance of getting one at rrp from an AD is to just become friendly with them. Let them know you’re interested in that watch but don’t be pushy about it. Hopefully if they like you they may offer it to you at some point

ilovethiscity · 23 February 2019, 07:25 AM

Hi Dave I didn’t want to wait either went for a mint LN on Chrono24 if you’d like any more info on my search etc I did a post about it with some pics. Found it in 3 days was wearing it the 3rd.. but yes BLNR 100% gonna be £2-3k more than MSRP in the UK my friend.

You’ll need to go grey or aim more towards a Datejust

Hilux2019 · 23 February 2019, 09:02 AM

Hi everyone thanks for the help and info I would buy if a grey or private seller but it’s finding a genuine dealer. Also I like the thought of getting new with the full Rolex experience from a ad which I don’t think is going to happen unfortunately.

Jerrocop · 23 February 2019, 09:05 AM

Put your name in . . . wait . . . get a new watch . . . enjoy it for a long time knowing you've got the real deal!
