Demand for the BLNR is crazy hot, is something coming?

Posted my BLNR for sale and received 14 inquiries in a day, sold now, along with every other BLNR listing in the past 48 hours (4 by my count).

Even with my ceramic Daytona it was nowhere near as hot. Any idea why the sudden surge in demand? Could it be we will finally see it discontinued..?

Although it seems like the BLNR has been listed heavily for a while now.

I wish. I hope I can get that kind of action when I decide to sell my BLNR and upgrade it to PM Daytona OF. I saw our listing for $9k. Did you end up w/ face to face deal?

Actually the SS/Plat Yachtmaster was a "hot model" when it came out circa 2000 or so. Pretty much every SS sports model enjoys its day in the sun when introduced.

In my experience, if you price an in demand SS watch at market it should sell in 24-48 hours. Whether you want to price higher and sort through buyers and kickers is a decision sellers have to make.
