I'm in Loudoun and would love to get my hands on a BLNR. I dont have a relationship with any local ADs in DMV so no shot to acquire one. Any help would be much appreciated.

Rori · 3 February 2020, 12:43 AM

I would have done just that too.

He showed me an oyster flex white gold Daytona and that’s what I want unfortunately that was taken but the next one is mine. The hype even got me once these watched are available to see and touch hopefully people can go back to buying what they like rather than what they think they like. it’s all hype my only advice is go and look at the watches don’t believe the hype.

Its clearly not for everyone. Newcomers may not know these were the worst sellers in the sports line for years. ADs dreaded getting them. Along came the internet and the rest is history.

I thought the internet came along before the LV-C.

This is actually the story of the Daytona. It was a Rolex dog for years ... “the rest is history.”

I truenes did the same thing and turned down a chnr not long ago. I debated for a while because of the hard to get thing and I may have decided to buy it if I already owned the Teo watched I really want but I decided to pass. Hoping one day I get the shot at the white gold Daytona Oysterflex and a steel blro but I’m not going to spend money on any others in the interim.

Indeed, colorful dials are overrated.

Love the LV. Ten years in production, and you don’t see a lot of them. The Sub black is a bit boring, prefer getting the SD43 over it if I really wanted a black bezel. You did good buying what you like. Better leave the watch for someone who really wants it.

(I know this is not a popular opinion) I would just have gotten it, and traded it on the gray market for the daytona (or whatever watch you really want). That's the world we live in, don't hate the players, hate the game.

Nothing wrong with that. However, and I could be wrong, I don't think the value a Grey would give you as a trade would really make it worthwhile. At least not in CA with our nearly 10% sales tax factored in.

He needs and values his relationship with the AD

Gonna agree with you here. Would have bought it, flipped it then used those funds towards what you really want. It's the game we are being forced to play to get what we want.

I don't see it much differently than real estate. If I found a property at a deal (relative to the market's current conditions), I'd buy it, rehab it and put it back onto the market.

Nikrnic · 3 February 2020, 02:07 AM

Kudos, I have to agree with you, I wouldn't buy to flip. I make my money my own way. It's a nice piece but not for me either. I turned down a black Daytona from my AD last year, just not a fan, got the Blnr instead. Buy what you love..

Couldn't agree more, buy what makes you smile when you put it on your wrist and not what is hyped on the internet.

xekret · 3 February 2020, 10:49 AM

I bought an LV in December that the AD was able to get right before my birthday. I saw one on the wrist of a fellow watch enthusiast back in 2017 and for me, it was the Sub to have.

scheneider · 3 February 2020, 12:29 PM

Same here turn down LV when it was not trendy. Its just too green for my liking.

peterpl · 3 February 2020, 12:32 PM

Good for you my man.

Too many people on here fell for the hype. You look at their collections its all the bloody same BLNR, LV, BLRO, Daytona. Seriously there is no individuality in any of those collections anymore.

Its funny people want to these "rare" and "hyped" pieces but 1000s of so called collectors have EXACTLY the same watches in their collections. LMFAO.

If that’s the motivation to acquire a rare piece lol you are spot on.

It’s funny as I read this. I made the same exact comment about the same 3 watches in another person collection.

I probably should have been less abrasive, but it just seems so obvious to me and yourself.....

MTdweller · 3 February 2020, 02:03 PM

A cool watch for sure but you really have to be ok with how green it is. I saw one of these in the case in 2016 before they really got hard to find. I loved the sunburst dial but couldn’t get over the bezel. It looked almost like a plastic pastel green and it was an easy pass for me.

Same here, nice dial but pastel green bezel looks cartoonish. Pass.

That was it for me as well the green bezel just didn’t feel right. Looked like plastic.
