Hi Gang,

I am thinking of purchasing the GMT Master ll BLNR and have been, and while I am fine with sticker price, I have to think that with the new DaytonaCs being the hot watch to have for the foreseeable future, will demand and price on the BLNR potentially drop in the not so distant future?

I welcome any thoughts. Is it worth waiting to see see if the price could be somewhat negotiable?

Lordofrolex · 24 May 2016, 02:09 AM

Maybe...

As people maybe saving there money for the daytona C. The BLNR willl be sitting for sale for longer forcing the market to drop prices to unload them.

ronricks · 24 May 2016, 02:09 AM

BLNR has been holding steady for 3 years now. I doubt it will drop unless Rolex releases another SS bi color bezel GMT. I don't think the Daytona will matter.

R1@160@alltimes · 24 May 2016, 02:12 AM

Rolex never price drops

Spartacus · 24 May 2016, 02:14 AM

BLNR is no longer the forum's darling it's very obvious. But, due to supply, it is easier and cheaper to pick up a BLNR than a Daytona-C.

I think in most people's collections, both are keepers. So to the extent that owners can afford both, they will keep and own both. If Rolex tweaks the GMT with a SS BLRO or introduce a Black/Red GMT, then you'll likely see a substantial GMT BLNR exodus. PM always precedes SS....could get very hairy in here if a SS BLRO comes out...similar to the Daytona C craze.

I see the watches (GMT and Daytona-C) in different price ranges, the distance between an entry level sports watch (all brands) and a GMT-II is relatively reachable for the entry level buyer. But at $12,500 + , things change, buyers change and for some, liquidation is required to afford the purchase.

Danny83 · 24 May 2016, 02:14 AM

Maybe like 200 bucks

AS1 · 24 May 2016, 02:14 AM

can't see this happening to be honest

wishful thinking

GB-man · 24 May 2016, 02:42 AM

Not sure the Daytona will have anything to do with blnr pricing. Also prices have been fairly steady. I consider 8k to be fair for LNIB and a great deal on NIB. In the USA that is.

cofc07 · 24 May 2016, 02:45 AM

Good Feedback. Thanks, all. I'm fine with sticker on the BLNR, but thought it was a question worth asking.

Boaters · 24 May 2016, 03:11 AM

I don't think so people want a watch now and with most of the Daytona's way out in the clouds for purchase not happening ... IMPO

thomaspp · 24 May 2016, 03:12 AM

No.

superstarmar · 24 May 2016, 04:18 AM

No!
2 different watches at two different price
points ... If you wanna getta da BLNR ?
Just getta da BLNR !!! Forget about it!!!

Cru Jones · 24 May 2016, 04:37 AM

?

Other than both telling time, PCLs and the Rolex brand, these watches have nothing in common. So, no.

And compared to the overall market for Rolex watches, TRF is microscopic and not really indicative of trends.

What's a BLNR?

No

Why

Two completely different watches

4srolex · 24 May 2016, 04:54 AM

No correlation, different watches and complications.

watchwatcher · 24 May 2016, 08:28 AM

Doubt it, but, hey...we can always hope, right?

Was about to post the same thing. The DC is God's-gift, no other Rolex matters for the next 5 years.

landroverking · 24 May 2016, 08:39 AM

As others stated. Two different watches. Maybe a small discount, but IMO not likely.

dave_dave · 24 May 2016, 08:41 AM

Possibility, have a few mate with blnr on their wishlist which now has been dropped due to the daytona c

japenney · 24 May 2016, 08:54 AM

short answer is no. Besides a SS coke GMT I don't think much will effect the price of the BLNR

Muzz · 24 May 2016, 09:41 AM

Completely different watch. Will not even remotely impact the price of the GMT.

Hollister · 24 May 2016, 09:50 AM

Everything is negotiable. House prices are now crashing because of the ceramic bezel.

Disagree.

To many Rolex buyers, they just want the newest and hottest model, not only a status symbol but also a conversation piece. It used to be the BLNR. Now it's the Daytona. It happens in the world of fashion jewelry. What's 'in' one year is out the next, replaced by the newest thing everyone wants.
