Sell old and buy New BLNR ?

[Rodrigo082]

Yes, do it and upgrade to the new BLNR
I did it and shoot with my decision.

The jubilee is very comfortable and hide bette scratches.
And of course, the case is a bit smaller (difficult to see but it’s there)
The movement, is way way more accurate and stable as well.

There is not reason why you want to keep the old BLNR - besides that, prices on the old BLNR are drooping so better you make the deal now before lose more value

Do u like money money more, or an oyster bracelet more. The movement is diff but nothing wrong with the good old 3186. If you can afford a rolex, what is $3-4k towards another one? Hang on to the one you have. Leave the new one to someone who otherwise wouldnt get one at msrp

[scombs263]

Personally I would keep the oyster. I have one and love it. For variety, I would get the BLRO aka Pepsi. Two similar but different watches.

Sell the old. Use 2 out of the 4K to purchase a GMT polished centre link oyster from AD or RSC (region dependant purchase... and it fits, even if they say it doesn’t, it does.), and have the best of both worlds with new movement and 2k toward a vacation

Not worth it is my opinion as well

Keep the oyster. You couldn't pay me $6k to and a a BLNR jubilee to trade for my BLNR on an Oyster.

[Onikage]

An extra couple of Gs and a new version of your watch with both bracelets sounds good to me. I don't know what the problem is here. He asked. Talk of karma, not worth it I wipe my ass with 2K etc. Wuuut?

Sell old BLNR, buy new BLNR and pocket 3-4K towards the next purchase.

Prior to everyone saying to just add the watch to my collection, I have a Pepsi (picked up this year) so I don’t “need” the jubilee but I like new, shiny things. And there’s way too much redundancy to have oyster and jubilee BLNR and a Pepsi. At least that’s how I rationalize this obsession. I had a similar thought on selling my SD 4000 earlier this year (that I reached out to the forum for advice) for a sub but realized I love the SD too much. And it’s much more unique.



Am I being ridiculous and just pass on the watch or is pocketing some money and still scratching the itch a sound idea?

Thanks in advance. Be gentle with your responses.

In recent months I’ve declined SD43, JC new movement, SkyDweller TT x few times. If your heart doesn’t immediately tell you to do it it’s probably best to just pass and wait for the next opportunity.

If re-selling is not in your blood it’s not worth the hassle.

if youre willing to sell, why not keep the original and sell the new one, as unworn. you will stand to pocket closer to $6-$8k instead? You already have 1 jubilee braceleted GMT. WIth the original batman, you can actually put on a super jubilee bracelet, whereas with the new one, you have to mess with the pins to put on an oyster. I say get it to keep the relationship going, and just sell the new one.

[pearson1995]

For me it would be such an easy decision, the oyster! But your decision should be dependent on which you prefer. Good luck

[Verdi]

I would get the new one because I prefer the new movement with the power reserve....and you get a new watch with 5 yrs warranty.

I’m in this camp as well

OP, sounds like you already have all the GMT’s you need.

Old batman will cost three times more than the new one in a few years, not to mention it looks much more beautiful on the oyster

Can you give me the winning lottery numbers as well

[iheartrolexx]

why not keep the old and sell the new? you get more money for the new, maybe around 15-16k

The funny thing is if there wasn’t such a “drought” going on, I wouldn’t even consider selling the oyster because I just love the look. But then again, 3-4 grand in my pocket for a piece of jewelry that was never supposed to appreciate isn’t something to take lightly.

Do it 100%

[NYG1121]

If you are doing this to pocket some change now, I am willing to bet the oyster will be worth a lot more than the jubilee down the road. Rolex basically created a relatively limited run BLNR and we all know what history says about the potential of models like this. First bicolor ceramic bezel establishes it a part of rolex history. So why not just hang on to it and see what happens?

[Rado63]

I would buy the new BLNR and keep the discontinued oyster bracelet model 116710 BLNR. I would sell both the BLRO and the BLNR, my .02. IF you really like GMT variations, then in that case keep all three and also buy yourself the discontinued 116710 LN and have the all black version too, killer collection of GMT II.

Highly doubtful. The oyster BLNR is the old one now. Kind of the holes case of the previous gen. Maybe if the new movement turns out to be a problematic nightmare.

It doesnt work that way with watches.

I guess we'll see. They're both identical on different bracelets but one has an 'inferior' old movement.

[Spoonage]

Of all my Rolex, my original BLNR is my fave. If I had the choice between old and new all other things being equal I would go with the older version. I like the BLNR on oyster. New movement isnt a big deal to me as I rotate watches and the extra power reserve isnt long enough to still be wound by the time I get back into it.

[Rolextellstime]

I would keep the original Batman over the Batgirl always, but it is a choice of preference

If you have already the mk1 batman you should keep it.... I own the new BLNR126710 that I think looks super cool and dope also the feel of the Jubilee is amazing... It's funny to read all that fanboy of the OLD blnr like they need some attention

[BNA/LION]

Both are Beautiful Watches! Good Luck!

Only You Can Stop the Spread Of Stupid Nicknames for Beautiful Watches!

Just Say NO to "batgirl"!

Whenever you see the Proper Name: 126710BLNR with Jubilee Bracelet referred to as batgirl simple repost and add the proper name and this picture of batgirl!

[danwang0520]

i wouldn't........not much of a difference, unless you are going for pepsi, that is

[braddmlewis]

I have a WG Pepsi, Sub-C and a White Daytona 116500 and I have to say I regret most of all that I didn’t keep my BLNR I had. Not for financial reasons (all my watches came from AD’s) but because it’s such a great looking watch.
