2021 BLRO on Oyster @DavidSW

DavidSW has the new 2021 BLRO on Oyster. $28K WTH!!

Power to those ppl with the funds and the desire to be among the first. I'm envious...Personally I can't justify spending 29K on a brand new watch with an MSRP of 10K.

I'm still waiting for mine...and probably will forever be waiting if this continues

I saw a 2021 BLNR-Oyster pop up on IG within the last couple of days, so apparently they are slowly making their way into the wild.

On Sunday my AD said he was expecting the new releases mid-late June... hoping he can get me one earlier but (thankfully) I'm in no rush.

Unreal. Sad, truly.

That’s really crazy pricing, but for some people $30k is pocket money so someone will bite

Jeez.

Can’t you buy a oyster bracelet for around 2k? Sounds like the way I’d go if I were a BLNR or BLRO owner but I’m not. Never have. Not a fan of multiple color bezels.

Considering the market hasn't been set for these yet, I'd imagine we'll see all sorts of crazy prices thrown out there to start.

I was able to pick up the 78200 bracelet from AD last week, just haven't gotten around to placing it on the BLRO. Looks exactly the same.

A lot of people have a lot of disposable income so to them, $28k is peanuts.

In your heart you will know it’s not the same though.

Humm. Might as well buy the unworn BLRO on jubilee he has for $24k and just buy the oyster bracelet separately. Both bracelets and still less expensive.

I wonder what the new BLNR on oyster will be priced at...and if it will have any influence on the pricing for the jubilee configuration. Don't care about the hype...but interested in the pricing dynamics.

Some people pay extra to board a plane first.

Some people pay extra to go to the front of the line at the amusement park.

Some people pay thousands extra to be the first in their neighborhood with a new car model.

And some people want to be the first with a new hot watch.

Products and services in the free market economy. You don't like it... you don't have to buy it. Absolutely nothing crazy or stupid about it.

I mean surely you would just stump up the extra for the white gold version at this point.

I think the front of the line pass is worth it at Disneyland for what it's worth. That's not hype!

I have two bracelets for my DJ41. I would say it was totally unnecessary to get a 2nd bracelet. It sounded like a good idea at the time but it takes some skill to be popping off bracelets all the time. Even with the best tools you can gouge those lugs, albeit on the underside of the watch.

Who cares he is struggling to sell some of the watches he has had for ages. For example been keeping an eye on his ceramic Daytona’s both white and black haven’t gone anywhere for ages. These watches will take a dip from their insane grey market prices soon. Obviously not go down to MSRP but they won’t hold as high as they have been.

You can put the oyster on your BLRO and sell it for 28k

Why not spend a little more than the 28k and get the WG BLRO? That's what I would do

I’m sure many of us know people with tens of millions, hundreds of millions and even more. I know I do. I just don’t know anyone with that kind of money who would be so foolish to spend almost 3X for a SS watch that retails for $10k.

Good point. For those that can afford it, why not?
