If you have a good relationship with an AD the BLNR is not hard to find at a discount. I just bought a NIB example from an out of state AD for $7,300.

Why did you buy a blnr? I thought you had a blnr?

Did you get a huge discount for the BLNR because you bought the BLRO and your AD earned a lot from you?

You can buy directly from Rolex boutiques in Bangkok for $8,300, had the opportunity while I was there (3 places in the city had it)
I wouldn't travel there for that alone obviously but if you're transiting you can make a quick trip to siam paragon or central embassy to get it.

Unfortunately those price aren't realistic in the
US... At least to the best of my knowledge ...
Somewhere around $8000 to $8200 USD BNIB
Would be w good deal in the US IMHO... From
what I've gathered ...

I tried a bunch of AD's in Chicago today to get any discount. None will budge still.

I was at the AD in Charleston SC. The owner says the BLNR lasts about 2 hours when he gets them. It it goes past 2 hours he makes a call and it's gone 30 minutes later. The same in Florida.

Well, I'm not so sure about that. My AD, right outside NYC, gave me the same pitch when he offered me one, and called again in two weeks to "double check" that I wasn't in the market.

Which one is this?

All of the independently owned ADs I know around me in NNJ can't keep them in stock.

Lee Perla, D'Amore, Morre Lyons

Sydney Thomas always has a couple in the back but they're the most difficult to work with. The other three I mentioned will not discount the BLNR but will accommodate logistics and may throw in a cool trinket.

I've learned since I've been here that the only only place they discount a BLNR is Canada and Korea. That's what they say.

Wish I'd known. Just got back from Korea and didn't even look at any ADs, I'm so accustomed to never seeing a BLNR anywhere.
