I bought one from AD. My only history was being their first customer when they opened in December 2018 and bought DSSD D-Blue. I know I was lucky, but got mine last Tuesday.

I had far more pleasant experiences at South Coast Plaza and several others than at Fourtane.

Maybe, maybe not. It's really the same thing with cars. Ferrari for example. Just because you spend a lot of money on their vehicles, does not automatically make you eligible to purchase any model you desire. Actually, for some models you must get approval from them to sell.

One has a better chance at obtaining a Centurion Card with a sustained higher spend, but that's not always a hole-in-one for some folks either....they walk to the beat of their own drum.

I agree with you Fat_ninja

If I had pockets deep enough to spend $800k on jewelry, ADs would be on MY waiting list

They would call me or text me every few months to try to build a relationship with me, so that when I get the ITCH for a new watch, their name would pop into my head and I would bless them with that call that they’ve been waiting for

800k?? I’d better get a Pepsi with a rimmer while it’s being sized.

They’re lying to you about how many they’ve received. Of course allocation is determined by volume but any dealer in good standing is getting some.

I have to assume one of these ADs is the AD I work with.... if true, the store staff including managers rarely see the hot SS Rolex. Some deliveries occur outside of store and in-store deliveries are by apt.

The line about $800k could be both true and false. Maybe they don’t like said customer so he's not getting one. Others get in far easier I’m sure

I was in a Boston AD this week, and they said they have seen 3 SS BLRO since the release of Baselworld 2018.

I was wearing my SS BLRO so no need for them to fabricate any details.

They were intrigued to find out how I was able to obtain my SS BLRO, and told me I should be really lucky I have one.

I'm seeing more in the Grey Market for sure. But still asking too much!! I want to add this model to my collection, but not that desperate to drop 16K+ on a pre-own.

because they have seen four, five or six presentations of the BLRO in the forum does not mean that they are serving in quantities, surely there are more than 1000 people targeted only in the US and they will not receive them.

One thing is for sure is the increase of wishful thinking by non BLNR/BLRO owners, economy is going to crash and they will all drop below retail within the next 2 years, or Rolex is increasing production and they expect them to drop within the next year. I’ve seen far more wishful thinking being posted than I have seen evidence of 2 aforementioned points.

My AD said he has gotten a few over the last year, same for green sub. The SS Dayton is the only one he says he still is only getting 1-2 a year in each color.

The aftermarket is going to crash quickly on these, especially if the global economy stagnates.


This is great news for everyone who bought one to enjoy! Bad news for the “investors,” to whom I say good ridens.

The “crash” has been quoted for the last few years often on here.

Glad I just bought mine and got on with enjoying it
