Hi all BLNR owners

Just for fun and out of curiosity let's share how much we bought our BLNRs and country, I'm sure we all would like to compare our purchase! I'll start:

Country: Malta
Price: €6,900

Cheers

You got a nice deal! Here in Mexico the BLNR is really rare and most ADs have waiting lists and offer no discount (so, around $9000).

MackGMTII · 2 October 2014, 05:49 AM

Full list price, no discount brand new from AD £5,950.

Loevhagen · 2 October 2014, 06:31 AM

Retail in Norway is USD 10.150 (65.500 NOK).

Matt C · 2 October 2014, 06:44 AM

No discount at my AD either, paying full retail 9,680 USD$. I live in Maine though and my AD is small, maybe some bigger AD's in Boston have more stock and more wiggle room, but not from what I've heard.

Al1969 · 2 October 2014, 09:25 AM

Purchased at AD in Virginia Beach. I got it for retail, slightly below 9k.

petee1997 · 2 October 2014, 09:39 AM

Bought mine in Toronto for $8,110.00 CAN plus sales tax. Retail price was $9,650.00 CAN. In US currency today that would be about $7,266.00US.

Memcwhirter · 2 October 2014, 09:57 AM

From AD, 5% off MSRP in Dallas.

WatchinMD · 2 October 2014, 10:46 AM

Decided post was off topic.

Ken B · 2 October 2014, 10:50 AM

I was going to buy one. I was priced at $8000 even. Before taxes. 8680 after taxes. Sadly, I wasn't satisfied with the fit. If it fit right, that's the price I would have paid.

Pattyb69 · 2 October 2014, 11:29 AM

I was quoted $7400 in Italy last week. I couldn't pull the trigger because I was unsure if I wanted a watch similar to my Sub C and the Panerai 422 I tried on the day before was stuck in my head.

X 2. Monterrey and Guadalajara have them in stock, but full price.

That's a very competitive offer price. It makes sense for a US guy to take a mini-trip to Toronto and buy it there. Wear it home and maybe no customs to worry about.

smc23 · 2 October 2014, 12:42 PM

No tax paid here in Toronto. Still $9500 cad. :(

Wow this is even a lot cheaper than a TRF trusted seller here? ?mmmm

I'd say that is more than just a very competitive offer price...that price is a steal for the BLNR!

Jbranda · 2 October 2014, 01:01 PM

I paid $8950 from a trusted non AD dealer. No tax though

It'll be cheaper to fly to Canada than to buy it here

Maybe I should consider the 2 hr drive to Dallas...however, with the 10% tax here and there is may not make that much difference...still a 5 figure price tag...

Jason71 · 2 October 2014, 02:27 PM

Caribbean AD $8,050 out the door with no sales tax. They threw-in a rolex knife to take the sting out of an $8k price tag.

Wesley Crusher · 2 October 2014, 03:05 PM

There are some good deals out there, just not in the USA, lol. I'm surprised that the BLNR is still priced the way that it is. Even from our sellers, the discount is minimal.

Pangit · 2 October 2014, 03:09 PM

i paid $8,630 from the AD in Qatar in mid September. I first looked at the watch in late August and was quoted $8,220. I didn't realise that a 5% price increase was coming on 1 September. The same AD has a branch in Doha International Airport where the watches retail at about 5% discount but there is a more limited range on offer.

GradyPhilpott · 2 October 2014, 03:38 PM

MSRP, plus 7% tax.

$8950+626.50=$9576.50

Eric Chan · 2 October 2014, 04:06 PM

$8,490 plus taxes. After taxes, paid $9,508.

The retail price in Canada is $9,650.

Macnavara · 2 October 2014, 04:14 PM

I bought one last week.....managed to get £50 discount for the bus home....

jsft98 · 2 October 2014, 04:21 PM

For those interested, in HK the listed price is HKD 67300, approx. USD 8670

rokosh · 2 October 2014, 05:06 PM

India
Around US$8060 all inclusive
Got a 11% discount over MRP- but this after a LOT of hard bargaining/pleading!

Plus I bought a couple of other (non-Rolex) watches from the parent company within a fairly short period- added to my clout

tomallen · 2 October 2014, 05:20 PM

Traded a gently used DSSD even up for a NIB stickers on BLNR. Retail on the DSSD was $12050.00 I paid 10242.50 OTD. I enjoyed the DSSD for about 6 months before the swap.

Guess I did just a bit better than tax in at $9500! Our tax is brutal at 13%!
