So far 5 ADS

I was actually able to get one with no wait from an AD. Got Lucky

Sadly there are loads on resellers websites.

If you wanted to create a watch that would by design be flipped at a high rate you’d basically produce the BLNR:

- Supply less than demand meaning people essentially want it through FOMO/hype
- Strong resale prices meaning money can be made selling it
- Strong resale prices meaning people who don’t actually want the watch will still buy it “just in case”
- PCL’s look great when new but scratches make some people twitch enough to not bond with it
- Novelty of the bi-colour bezel can wear off

All that means that fewer people that actually love the watch for what it is can get it. Then the AD’s try to combat that by withholding warranty cards and selling to people they know and they get grief for it.

It all adds up to being crap for the WIS and crap for the AD.

For me it’s very sad we can’t go to an AD and just get what we want......unless you’re like a VIP for that AD

But IMHO it’s even worst going to pay more for that same watch somewhere else.....because this is part of the problem!!!!

I was on a forum a long time ago with Johanssen; not impressed in the least. Not too impressed by the BLNR either. I'll pass!!!

Whaaaaa....? We're gonna need details, man. Details!

Yeah, not a fan of the BLNR either. OP, my recommendation is to do some soul searching and see if it is really the watch you want or it's the hype.

You have the answer, Trusted Seller/Grey Market. This is not personal in AD's refusal to put you on a list. They are doing you a favor. Go get the watch you want and get the best deal possible.

End of 2019 the BLNR will be traded at 20k! Sure, sure, sure! It' s an icon even more you doubt it today!

I'll give you my BLNR if you can get me a date with Scarlett Johansson.......and get my wife to agree with it!

At least the grey prices aren't as bad as the BLRO - just suck it up and get one.

[Redadmiral2]

I saw one in St Lucia and asked if I could buy it and was told I would have to spend a further 4000.00 dollars on top of retail to secure it.
I reported it to Rolex and was sent a key ring as an apology.

The thing you’ll come to realize is that the BLNR is even better than you’re imagining: Rest assured the bank vault mine is sitting in is quite a happy safe indeed!

Had one for almost four years. It's a great watch at 8k. When I bought mine, gray market dealers were selling them below MSRP. Just wait until all this nonsense is over and the price level normalizes. Don't pay over retail unless you have money burning a hole in your pocket.
Wait until we're in the next business cycle if you can't get one at retail

I'd rather have a date with Hilary Clinton before I bought another BLNR.

BNLR and WG BLRO being “discontinued” ...... is this not simply a case of impending relaunches with the new 3285 movement

It’s a great watch for sure, I’m on lists for them, but that bracelet is something I certainly do not like. The polished links pick up scratches and they are very visible. My favorite is the brushed submariner with the glide lock. With that bracelet, the blnr would be truly great

if you are on lists you will never get one, the list is imaginary. You need to get on your bike with a fistfull of dollars and go knocking, you will be amazed at what all of a sudden 'has just come in today'

The pcl's look great and dont pick up scratches.
