A tiny Rolex crown will be printed between SWISS and MADE, that's all!

RPR is run by imbecile. He actually believes that Rolex is listening to him.

RPR is like having paranoia, thinking that rolex is listening to him with his heritage bs.

I doubt he will be too far off but the LN is staying, be it with a new movement or not.

If they change the reference, release it on jubilee or change the lug width, case height, bracelet (as they did with the DSSD) I’d consider the older 116710 BLNR discontinued. |

Howdy,
He's the Super Shadow of the Rolex world. SS was a self proclaimed Star Wars insider whose predictions on the sequel trilogy were finally debunked once movies started to be made. RPR is the same thing, a total hack. Any clown can talk to an AD, repeat every rumor he hears, and photoshop some pics. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Don't be surprised when he buys his Nike's in anticipation of the Hale-Bopp's return. Take care, Ruddiger |

I enjoy his predictions just because the speculation can be fun. However, I think sometimes he goes off the rails a little with a misplaced confidence (arrogance?) in his predictions.
It's puzzling how RPR thinks it/he/she it can steer IG policy but not answering legitimate question from followers with private IG profiles. RPR's refusla to interact with any account on IG if it's not public is a little dubious to me but it's their own choice more power to them. |

That guy is a total idiot, especially within the WIS world, his appeal only extends to Rolex wearer who wears watches to "show off".
What's funniest is that he thinks and posts as if Rolex is listening to his advice when he gets a prediction right. The cliched metaphor of a broken watch is right two times a day is appropriate as predicting half the models are going to be discontinued and getting a hit and then claiming Rolex listened to him.. ..so sad really. |

If the LN is discontinued I think it will re-surface with the updated movement, a Red GMT hand, and the lower three lines of text in white. It’s a way to differentiate it slightly from the previous ‘green hand’ edition.
Where as I would have once flipped my Ceramic LN for a red hand model should it have ever been released, now I would not. Me and my LN have been through too much together for me to let it go now. Just my thoughts. |

When will the new watches upload to the web site this year? Last year Basel opened on the 22nd and the site was updates on the morning of the 21st.

His claim that new GMT models will be more “heritage” - e.g. smaller makes no sense to me. The SS BLRO Is the same maxi case of the current LN/BLNR, why would they release a new LN/BLNR with new movement it difference case than the BLRO?
Credibility lost for me. Plus he’s, been predicting the ceramic ExpII for how many years no? Having said all that, it is fun and entertaining - but that’s all it is for me. |

For him to lose credibility, he would have needed to have it in the first place. Whether he did or didn’t is up for debate. I for one, don’t bestow any on him.

I think what I really meant to say was that, to me at least, when I read people talking about the BLNR (or any other reference) being 'discontinued' I imagine they are saying the reference will not be manufactured any more in any way shape or form. If however that same BLNR was to get the new 70hr power reserve movement, a little crown at 6 o'clock etc, then to me, that's an upgrade to the existing, not a brand new model. I do fully understand however the argument that if it gets a new reference i.e 12xxxx then yes the old 'reference' has been discontinued but it's not the actual watch that has been discontinued. I just think people should be more specific rather than just making sweeping statements like the BLNR is being discontinued - in my mind it isn't, it's being upgraded. You know the Rolex way, evolution not revolution. Sent from my Moto G (5) using Tapatalk

Remember guys if updated with a new movement then it will have a new reference number, thus making the old reference discontinued. The statements are only incorrect if the current reference remains unchanged for another year.
That’s what I expect to happen to the blnr, either be updated and given a new reference, or removed all together. Now adding the rose gold options, I wonder how many GMT master options Rolex will carry forward. Something will have to go..

He is doing the same thing all the phone guys do...
Let him have his fun, it bring in some good debate in this forum. I do side with him regarding the Batman, I think is getting discontinued after Basel 2019. They should get the GMT line up back to the classic colors (Pepsi and Coke). |

I agree. It’s all click bait BS. In this case he’s got a great out. If the watch ends up with an updated movement and the little crown. The author could stretch and even try to say “oh that’s what I meant by discontinued!” Haha.
