Journey to Batman

[napashark]

I passed on the BLNR twice(within 5 months) waiting for the BLRO, I told my SA if she wanted me to have it that bad the third time i’d take it. Luckily the 3rd time ended up being the BLRO. Good luck on your journey.

The BLNR is a great watch and so is the BLRO. Which is better depends on you taste. I have the BLNR in oyster and the BLRO in jubilee. Perfect combination in my view.

Not true, I picked up mine this week and have only one previous purchase. I believe it depends on the AD and relationship.

Best of luck OP

If you’re really determined I’d just buy it in the grey market

All long journeys begin with the search button. Sincerely.

What was the previous purchase?

[zion_rasta]

Watch the Archie Luxury video on the Rolex “Journey”

[CarlOver]

Be patient. It’s at value purchased from your AD. Above MSRP, no.

Not too sure if you are looking for a magical answer by starting 3 threads on same topic.

You have two choices, first the easy one... Go Grey. Many great resellers in UK.

Second choice, the harder one. Build a purchase history and be patient. Buy other watches, and buy jewelry.

Choice one will be cheaper in long run... Goodluck.

Please don't start a 4th thread on same$*it

Yeah, it is pretty nasty to be looking forward to buy a simple watch for its retail price. How dare this fucking guy…

I have the blrn, love it, but no way it is worth 23k.

Step 1 - Lose parents after musical performance
Step 2 - Spend time training with Raz Al Gul
Step 3 - Embrace the power of the bat and theatricality to instill fear in your enemies.

Or...save up 30k and go gray.

If you earn less than 90k a year, play the game and hope for a miracle. If you earn more than 90k...then your time is probably more valuable then all the games you'll have to play on the journey right now.

Agreed

[Time Out]

I also have a BLNR on Jubilee and I gave it to my wife to wear after wearing it for a few weeks. OP, go after a SD43.

Just curious. What did you dislike about the watch?

[bonovox]

Welcome. The BLNR is a classic. Good luck to you on the hunt.

[Alliy]

Welcome and goodluck on your watch hunt

[tarmatimes]

[Seddyspaghetti]

I would suggest you get something for your wife first. I don't think you have much of a chance asking for a hot model. They have to make sure you are not a flipper. Best of luck on your journey.

At 10k, the BLNR is ahead of the pack.
At 23-25k, it falls behind other watch offerings, mostly beyond Rolex.

Honestly, it felt dainty. I would like it a lot better on an oyster I think. My AD has promised me the next BLRO they get in on oyster which should be any day now as I keep in close contact.

I hate to say this, but you’re really going to struggle.
However I wish you best of luck
