BLNR last batches being sent out!

Only time will tell whether this is the case. Spoke to a salesman who claims Rolex are sending out their last load of BLNR’s.

I do love these theories! Roll on Basel 19!

If I had a dollar for each story I’ve been told at ADs (outside of my own - who tends to never speculate)....I’d have a lot of dollars....

Apparently the Day Date is also being discontinued due to slow sales and a world-wide shortage of GOLD

I wouldn't mind, I never liked that combo (which is weird because I love blue, and I love black, but for some reason they just don't work on the BLNR together IMHO)

I hate to say it, but I'll believe it when I see it. As with most in here, I've been told some doozies by my AD.

Did that statement happen to follow your comment of "hmm maybe I'll think about buying a BLNR?"

Salesmanship 101.

I think there's a small chance the last batch of 116710BLNRs are being sent out, but I do think that this last batch would then be quickly followed by the first batch of 126710BLNRs. It doesn't really make sense that they'd continue to produce the BLNR with the older GMT movement for very long now that the new one is out. However, I also don't think that the AD would know that this is the last batch even if it was; when the WG Pepsi was discontinued (both times), the ADs weren't told unless they tried to place an order.

Black and blue next to each other is a famous fashion faux pas, which the sartorially disadvantaged (I.e. straight males without the right kind of education) don't always realise because they don't have the nose for it and figure that if they like blue and they like black they should just wear them together. Blue suit trousers and black socks? no.

It can be hard to carry off without being open to criticism from the fashion police.On the wrist though, you can maybe get away with it as it's only a few cm.

Of course, some people are happy to ignore the criticism. Screw you, I'll wear what I want. I'm Batnan.

Personally I can't get one because I have a aversion to the Cyclops - I'm not an elderly gentleman losing his sight. Were it not for that, I'd be all over the BLNR and BLRO as they're quite nice, that issue excepted.

Maybe last batch for the year. Or last batch before the upgraded movement.

Why would Rolex discontinue a watch that sells like crazy?

What about Honey Nut Cheerios? Did she say anything about their future?

Perhaps they'll return as Cheeriios to denote the MkII recipe. Original Cheerios boxes will appreciate, especially if you have the original store receipt.

I appreciate the AD intel, but I don’t believe it in this particular case.

I heard that too, apparently yellow food and a stainless steel spoon is a fashion faux pas only made by the under educated.

They tried breakfast cereal education camps but straight males without the right kind of education kept pouring milk on them. What has the world come to?

Batman could save us, but sadly his socks are the wrong colour.

We're doomed.
