116719blro

Hi,

I’m being seduced by this 116719 BLRO model.

Can someone point me in the ballpark of current pricing?

In terms of ad vs grey vs used?

Thanks

Take a look at the classifieds here. It should give you an idea
what sellers are asking.

I’ve never tried to buy one from an AD. The retail is $38,250. All the ones I’ve seen here from our Trusted Sellers were around $25,000 or so and fairly new. It seems the WG BLRO and Smurf take a huge hit from their retail price as compared to their YG cousins. I recently picked one up from one of our Trusted Sellers and couldn’t be happier. My BLRO is my new everyday at work watch. I like the weight and I like how it flies under the radar, unlike his YG cousins! I do not wear my YG Sub to work because I think it’s too flashy for my type of business.

Hope this helps.

Sounds good thanks. Any thoughts on typical discount from ad?

Thx

Thanks Rebel for the info. I quite like the bezel and the weight of the gold
is nice for sure.

I’ll let you know if I pull the trigger.

Best

My AD usually hooks me up. On this piece I needed / wanted to include a trade so it was easier to make the deal with a TS plus I know how bad the depreciation on this piece is and I wouldn’t want to ask my AD for a 30% discount. It’s almost like Rolex doesn’t understand the market on this watch and the Smurf.

Good luck and I definitely recommend this piece!

I would buy this piece used and mint.

Let someone else take the initial hit, it doesn't move quickly.

You need 30% off AD then still drops further if flip to trusted seller. Probably best to go used at 24k

I'm firmly in the "buy used" camp. Even if you could swing a 30% discount , you're still going to save $5K or more buying used, plus sales tax.
