I have a deposit on one in Long Island but what I don't understand is that anytime I would ask about the watch they would bring it out off the safe and not keep it on display.

I just came back from cancun and the same thing happened , not on display it was kept in safe and pulled out only when asked about model . Is that Rolex trying to make it like it's hard to get?

I doubt that there would be much trouble picking this up in the a majority of places!

It's about freaking time supply is meeting demand. I never believe any modern watches are rare, it just go to different ADs around the world,.

What I don't understand is how some perceive that if it's sitting in AD cabinets, it's not popular or it can't sell. These luxury watches aren't cheap, ya know...

Interesting, because that store always has limited inventory of professional/sports models.

It's readily available here in Western Canada and at 10% off.

I believe the BLNR is loosing momentum after it was released last year. "Everybody" wanted a BLRO at that time - and even though the BLRO was issued 1 year later and in WG - "everybody" is still craving for a SS version of the BLRO and not a BLNR. I think. :)

I like the BLNR and want one - but I want a BLRO is SS even more - and I´ll wait - maybe for eternity.

Has anyone had any luck negotiating one below MSRP?

Before the 1 May Canada price increase it was $7600 OTD as reported by another member from Canada. Not sure what it is now.

Hoping the appearance of more of these will eventually cause the prices to drop. I've been waiting as I'm not wanting to pay the extra premium for the 1/2 blue bezel.

Just went into the same Tourneau few days ago and tried on the BLNR.. And they had 2 of them.

I tried on a BLNR a Tourneau a long time ago, it was just not on display. I couldnt justify paying $1500+ over the LN. At least the LV has the dial / bezel in a completely different color for it's higher price tag.

Maybe i should stop by there more often.

I'm just cognizant of their time, since I'd never buy from them.

last time i visited the daytona AD i had a very un professional experience, i was looking at the LVc and the sales person asked two other sales associates if this model had a ceramic or aluminum bezel and they ended up deciding it was a coated aluminum.

Correct. That was the price OTD (out the door) at that time as reported by one of TRF members from Canada. Here was the thread
