Just ordered a BLNR!
My AD was nice enough to offer me a return on my 2 tone Sub for a DSSD.

Then I asked that all important question.

What about a Batman?

Not only are they special ordering it for me, I'm also getting the watch for a percentage off MSRP.

And now we wait!

Seems like there's more wiggle room discounts on the BLNR. Congrats.

Thanks everyone!!!

@GP13 I ended up with the BLNR over the DSSD. It looked decent on my 8 inch wrist, but I figured I'd get tired of the DSSD much faster than the BLNR.

@caprebels Yeah they made me an offer I couldn't refuse. It ended up being slightly less than what pre owned examples are going for.

I just got it today 13 days after they put the order in. Apparently they got 2 BLNRs in the same shipment so maybe they're becoming slightly less rare.

Fantastic watch though! Ecstatic I finally was able to get one!
