GMT BLNR Bundle

Curious to get your thoughts on this!

Would you say that purchasing a ladies two-tone and full gold DJ is a reasonable enough portfolio to ask for GMT BLNR ("Batman") as part of a bundle?

For some context, these are pieces that I will be getting as presents, so I'm not getting them for the hope of acquiring the GMT

I would think the full gold DJ alone would be sufficient, but I’ve heard some crazy stuff recently. There was a thread yesterday that mentioned a guy in NJ having to spend $37K for his BLNR bundle from an AD...

If you’re going to make use of both DJ pieces then that’s fine but I would expect some discount on both DJ.

Not surprised, I had an AD tell me that even if I were to purchase the gold DJ and a PM Daytona... it would still not be possible to get a GMT BLNR

Would they have the GMT sitting there waiting or would it be ‘we’ll try to get you one in 6 months’ kind of thing? As I’d want it then and there or no sale

Do you want the BLNR in the first place or is it just that you want to bundle because of the other purchases?

I actually prefer the Daytona C (White Dial) but figured it was more reasonable to ask for the BLNR. Will try push for the Daytona for sure, if not, then the BLNR

I would be purchasing the DJ in a 2 months, which should be sufficient notice to get the GMT ready to buy together

Sounds good. Give it a shot. Do KEEP IT, WEAR IT & ENJOY IT, if you get it

I concur that you need to make sure that the BLNR is in stock (i.e. you don't wait for an indeterminate amount of time) and a discount should still be available on the gold DJ.

And natch, only buy it if you want it, not just because you can.

You can get the BLNR for like $18k gray market. That's $9k over retail. So if your bundle isn't something you really want, if you're losing more than $9k then you should just buy gray.

Yes u should be able to get a BLRO or Daytona from an AD. Some may take it others selling to grey already probably aren’t interested

The DJ I will be getting regardless as a present, so it won’t be for the sake of getting the BLNR.

I agree, would be stupid to buy a DJ in exchange for the BLNR... may as well go Grey

I’ve had my eye on the Daytona or BLNR for a while now, will only pull the trigger if he can get them together. Will push for the discount and keep you guys updated on what happens!
