It all comes down to supply of new models. Only Rolex can control the value of the BLNR1. I am happy the BLNR2 came on a Jubilee. I think this will help protect value of the original.

I figured all the flippers and must haves would be selling the older BLNR for the new offering.

Today I’m offering my BLNR MK1 dial and clasp stamp version 1 for $50,000.


Don’t regret this offer in 6 weeks when the clasp stamp v1, (blnr version of flat 4) becomes highly sought after!

On the one hand, they didn't discontinue BLNR, they UPGRADED it which is the worst case scenario for those who invested heavily into BLNR.

On the other hand, the upgrade is aptly named "Batgirl."

Rolex has indeed discontinued 116710BLNR (Batman) and issued 126710BLNR (Batgirl) since 2019 Baselworld.

So you own one as well and this is your sad attempt at trying to drive up speculation? What is the point of this?

Are you the one trying to sell the $20k BLNR someone mentioned in another thread?

I would never call a 116710BLNR a good buy at 15k (especially if GBPs)

They didn't upgrade it, they just updated it. But, agree nicknames are the worst regardless lol

Oooooo. Love the Trading Places reference!

I held one and thought I’d see what happens. If it sells, it sells. Something is only worth what another will pay for it.

The comment on a gray holding 23 and releasing slowly is fascinating....

It’s all this buy low sell high talk that has dried up the market and Rolex has become aware of this and consequently it hurts the genuine buyer to acquire one for personal use.

I agree. 15,000 CAD is a decent buy for new with stickers...

Why is a better movement not considered an upgrade? 70hr versus 50hr reserve?

“With 10 patent applications filed over the course of its development, this self-winding mechanical movement is a consummate demonstration of Rolex technology, at the forefront of the art of watchmaking. Calibre 3285 offers fundamental gains in terms of precision, power reserve, resistance to shocks and magnetism, convenience and reliability. Calibre 3285 incorporates the Chronergy escapement patented by Rolex, which combines high energy efficiency with great dependability. Made of nickel-phosphorus, it is also insensitive to magnetic interference. -Rolex.com”
