I haven’t been on here in a while and checked the prices in the trusted sellers area and BLNR are going for more than retail. If I can get it cheaper from the local AD, I’ll do that, but how long is the wait?

Valhala · 27 March 2018, 12:52 PM

I see your in alaska so prob not easy for you.... the grey dealers in the classifieds on here usually have one for sale for alittle over retail. By me for every 10 ads ive called looking for a red sea dweller at least 2 have tryed to sell me a blnr instead, so there available

GradyPhilpott · 27 March 2018, 12:53 PM

It all depends on where you are, when it comes ADs.

Some people report that they see them frequently in some markets, but most say the waiting lists are long.

Sprta · 27 March 2018, 01:01 PM

With some effort and patience you should be able to find an AD who will sell and ship this watch to you within a reasonable time frame

MrPorter_008 · 27 March 2018, 01:03 PM

Saw on in the flesh the other day when I picked up my Daytona C, wasn't spoken for. AD said they get one a month, relatively easy to pick up.

Vicious49 · 27 March 2018, 01:03 PM

I found one at my AD back in November I believe. I passed on it though as the bracelet is a bit blingy for my taste.

You could’ve had it brushed to tone it down ...

I thought about it but my wife thought it was an ugly watch. A few months later we saw a no date SubC at the same AD and she approved of that one.

Your wife has the same taste as my wine. She thinks the BLNR looks ugly and she prefers the Subc with No date. But I think both are great looking watches except everyone one of my friends who is a doctor, Lawyer or accountant has a sub and I want to something which none of my friends have.

Interesting. My wife also doesn’t love my BLNR. She loves the LVc though. Wonder what it is.

I wouldn't say ugly but it certainly is flashy. I find it the most flashy watch in the SS sports variations and lot more than even a Hulk!

I thought that, and then they released the pepsi

christopheran · 27 March 2018, 01:13 PM

I think the BLNR is the best looking ceramic model to date, and I own a white dial ceramic Daytona. My fiancé likes the BLNR over the Pepsi... will be getting the Pepsi either way.

Vicious49 · 27 March 2018, 01:19 PM

I tried hard to get mine to like the BLNR so I could buy it but she wouldn't budge. She didn't argue at all on the SubC ND and simply said 'nice watch'.

That’s why you buy what you want and show them after ;)

My wife thinks they all look the same so it doesn’t rally matter which she likes the most

Haha. One in and one out... except SS sports models are next to impossible to sell so it could take years to find a buyer!

I have never flipped a rolex before. Do people have hard time flipping models like subs and blnr?

That's kind of funny. I have showed my wife the BLNR 3 time over the last 2 years hoping she would not remember and look at it with fresh eyes. Last time I did that was 2 days ago. She said "I feel like you have shown me that watch a 100 times now and I still don't like it". Guess she clearly does not like it.

My wife wont argue with me if I got it. But I do value her opinion on it. Right now the only watch we can agree on from the current line up is the Sub in black and the new TT rose gold GMT. I never thought I'd like precious metal on my wrist (as I have never like any of the other TT or PM), but that watch looks stunning in the pics.

OK_Computer · 27 March 2018, 01:31 PM

I’ve been having a hard time finding one over the last 4 months! As a first time buyer it’s been tough going, even when checking with multiple AD’s.

Investr · 27 March 2018, 02:01 PM

Been in two ADs in the last 3 weeks and both had them in the case.

DavidSW is stellar. He has it. Make an offer. The worst answer is ‘no.’

He’s impeccable and deserves his reputation as a trusted seller.

DoctorA · 27 March 2018, 02:10 PM

Depends on your city, your history with your AD and how “nice” your AD is
Good luck on your hunt!

Kingpimpin · 4 April 2018, 06:29 AM

To answer my own question: not hard at all. I asked the local AD and she got me one in about 5 days. I paid full retail, but still cheaper than Trusted Sellers and they financed for a year at 0%

Same here, bought mine today after adding myself to the list 6 days ago. Was thinking I would be waiting months!
