BLNR Owners Flipping For New Daytona.

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






Me, I won't.

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.

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.

Talk about a left field question. It's like asking if I'd flip a fridge for a washing machine.
