BLNR Availability

[prozac51]

It's a good time to sneak in and pick up a BLNR while everyone's distracted by the new Pepsi.

Sorry but that won't make a mass produced watch 'rare'.

Explain to me then why the Pepsi bezel has an abrupt start and stop and the blnr merges one color into another through that patented baking process. The material might be the same but I have a feeling they are two specific color Sarah Chrome inserts and not one baked bezel.

I put a deposit in February and I got my BLNR from my local AD in two weeks. I don't really think it's hard to get.

When it's D/C'd, and it's got a different mvmt, and larger case. IMO too many GMT options now and it's had a 6 year run already. Some of these model last about 10 before a redesign or a drop.

Looking for an AD in Maryland that may carry a BLNR. Searched all over and can’t find one. Can anyone help out?

They're on a 1-6 month wait list pretty much everywhere.

Many are expecting the BLNR to be discontinued next bazel given the older movement.
Now talk about it’s availability and how its prices will shoot up!

I see nothing stopping the BLNRs thunder.

Well, there's "availability for MSRP at an AD" and then there's "availability." it's casually available.

Batman is old news.

I really like the BLNR, as it's a truly great watch. That written, I was offered a BLNR months ago but I'm holding out for a BLRO.

[ahlee00023]

BLRO? Really?... I really don't think such color combination can withstand over a long period of time. I'm sorry but BLNR has all the attributes to become a true classic.

You think Rolex are misrepresenting the truth on their website? Lying?

Unlikely one will be lounging in a window somewhere

Do you have a good relationship and purchase history with this AD?
I ask because...I don't have either.

I do bought two SS models from them before my BLNR. Good relationship? I don’t think so. I put my name on the lists for the new Deep sea D-blue and 116519LN since April after BLNR and I haven’t heard anything from them yet.

took me 6 months to get my BLNR, which i picked up a few weeks ago. Ive been on the list for the "pepsi" for a little while now. I expect to have that one someday... but for now, im loving my "batman"

easier to get than the BLRO yes, but easy no.

BLNR is a better value

What makes you think this?

There is only £250 difference in price.

The BLRO has the newer movement and will sell on the used market at a much higher price than a BLNR.

Both are great watches, (I have both) but I’d argue that the BLRO is the better value.

[116710er]

The BLNR hype is real. Besides being the first Rolex GMT with a blue/black bezel insert, it's just simply a great looking watch, not much to dislike. I don't see demand dying any time soon.

I have been waiting for a few months on the waiting list with a significant deposit....
