Demand for the BLNR is crazy hot, is something coming?

Posted my BLNR for sale and received 14 inquiries in a day, sold now, along with every other BLNR listing in the past 48 hours (4 by my count).

Even with my ceramic Daytona it was nowhere near as hot. Any idea why the sudden surge in demand? Could it be we will finally see it discontinued..?

Although it seems like the BLNR has been listed heavily for a while now.

I wish. I hope I can get that kind of action when I decide to sell my BLNR and upgrade it to PM Daytona OF. I saw our listing for $9k. Did you end up w/ face to face deal?

In my experience, if you price an in demand SS watch at market it should sell in 24-48 hours. Whether you want to price higher and sort through buyers and kickers is a decision sellers have to make.

While the BLNR is always a favorite on TRF, I think all stainless models are getting snatched up quick.

Second hand market in Turkey has been dramatically increased for Submariners (date or no-date), BLNR, Hulk and other SS sports watches. For BLNR it's 2000$ and for submariners its 1500$ more than they used to be last year. I find this surprising even though the prices are the same since then. I inquired an AD if the prices are officially increased but no, still the same list prices.

Just my observation if it helps.
