It certainly seems to, although there is still that bit about the BLNR being showcased in the main display. Is it certain that the catalog distributed at Basel will be the same one provided to ADs, without changes?

100%, they have already copied thousands of catalogs . Rolex always print 1 catalog per year so no doubts that it will be distributed to all ADs too

Maybe keeping it quiet lots of people don’t want to buy anything that’s discontinuing. They still have stock too move on
Apart from collectors who understand the significance of them disappearing
A lot of non watch people wouldn’t want a to buy something that’s not up to date

Jajajaja Crazy Fakes news

The BLNR and LN are still there and would be there for years to come.

As Rolex mentioned at Baselworld - the BLNR and Pepsi will live next each other for many years to come...

Yeah, that was weird. Even in the revised version, he still says it's likely to be discontinued or updated, but gives no explanation for why he thinks that (or thought it was discontinued in the first place). Watch journalism at its finest.

Please, stop creating rumors;
Just go to Rolex.de or Rolex.ch

And you will see the BLNR in the website and you can place a order without issues.

People shall stop believing rumors coming from Grey dealers.

If you know Rolex, you know they will never never discontinued a watch without making it official... they are profesional.

i said that with the Tudor Harrods edition. It was sold out before they announced it and posted pics. They advertised a watch that at the time of listing it was not even available

Guys, I’m pretty certain they’ll just roll into the 126710 models.... they won’t leave people only on stainless option especially when black is classic (though it is time for a red hand) and BLNR is one of their hottest models. NTM they sold the Pepsi, Coke, Black,etc alongside each other forever.

Agreed, it'll just end up as a 126710 model once existing stocks are sold out and production of the new model increases. It's not in the catalogue as you can't order it, but there must be some models floating around in transit to dealers worldwide.

The biggest question would be will it be Jubilee only when that happens though? Steel GMTs only have Jubilee bracelets to leave GMTs on Oyster bracelets for PM models only?

I have been told Rolex control the link to the AD websites ,so they are the ones that have removed the watches , the AD has no idea why and haven’t been told of any discontinuation of either watch.
