Not only US economy, it will depend on the Asian economy since that is where the largest sales increase has been.

When the BLNR was released at Basel, there were quite a few here on the forum that didn’t even like it. I remember seeing it in dealer’s cases within 9 months of its release (not everywhere of course but a couple locations). Like someone mentioned though.......it is a different climate now also. I remember seeing a white and black dial 116520 sitting in a case available to anyone for MSRP (maybe even a slight discount) back 8-10 years ago.

The BLRO has decades of history and the BLNR does not so I expect the demand for the BLRO to ALWAYS be much higher than the BLNR....

Lots of history but I was told by a dealer that when he sold the 5 digit references the Coke and Black bezel variants were more popular than the Pepsi.

The BLRN is going to be a classic someday. Sooner than later....
