I asked and they offer 12k for an old blnr. I understand some are being greedy but no need to exaggerate like that.

With that price you can get a 126713 GRNR.
Not saying GRNR is nicer than BLNR but it’s more expensive in MSRP

Where you looking? they abut 16-17.7 depending on condition. way off

That price has sailed already

Who’d you speak to? Was it DavidRW himself?

That being said, the 11s have the more reliable 31xx movement (vs the 32xx) and may be still be attractive...

I am getting tired of waiting for a BLNR at MSRP...trying to decide on an 11 at a lower price or a 12 at a higher price with some warranty left...

My BLNR out times my BLRO every second of the day. The 31xx is so much better.

I always price check on eBay of what recently sold. Average sold price right now is around 14k

So I shouldn’t fret over 14.6

I don’t think it was a steal, but I don’t think it was horrible.

Pro tip : pick the stock with the highest return each year

This is unacceptable from Rolex resale buyers and wholesalers! I only want to show people how much money I spent on a watch, not how much I lost!!!!

The Fed needs to fix this, NOW!!!

[1259]

It’s happening

[KyloRen]

Ok its happening. Checking BOBs buylist - confirms my hypothesis.

Yup , and that’s a beauty

I’ve heard so many pundits claim to know the gray market and how it works.

Until you actually sell a watch to a gray dealer and privately you’ll know the true worth.

From my experience the price delta is thousands…. I was offered $12170 CAD for my SD43 a couple of years back from a well known gray dealer. I sold it privately for $16000 CAD.

Good point Brian.

Dealer “buy price” includes a forward-looking risk on the volatility of the market sell price and fickle demand.

As a business they need a profit even if things go awry.

Many are confusing what the value of a watch is as an owner. Might as well forget watch collecting and go play in the gold market if you are using its quick dump price or trade in value.
The market price is what can you buy one for from a reputable dealer and not what can I sell it for.
We are WIS and focusing on the watch and its replacement cost as a end user.
In other words, if I owned this watch and it was stolen or lost, what cost would it take for me to go out and replace it with from a reputable source. Not if I beat the bushes deep in the internet to see what is the absolute cheapest example I can find in questionable condition and providence.

Imagine if you insured your car and they valued it at what the insurance company could sell it for at auction as opposed to what it cost to replace it if it gets totaled.

I’m good, but would you lend my your yacht and open bar for the month of July?

I’ll need the captain, and crew as well.

Thanking you in advance.

Yacht crews only respect and respond to authority. Your likeable nature and pleasant domestic life would encourage a mutiny and my yacht would be lost and you abandoned on a reef.

I’ll lend you my love nest in Monaco as a starter to the tycoon lifestyle.

That will do nicely.

Is it pet friendly?

I still need the open bar

(So much to teach this guy about the Rolex life)

I have a catalog of Czech ‘masseuses’. Pick one or two and call the number. Ask for Pavel. Say you know me and in 45min you’ll forget your four legged roomba vac exists back in Pleasantville.

I just chatted with a support over there and they emailed me a quote for 12K right away. So i dont know what the heck you guys are talking about with BLNR quotes for less than 9k. BLNRs are as liquid as subs so if theres a problem with them then we might as well quit this hobby and go back to seikos and gshocks cause watches really arent worth much then.
