As soon as my ad opens I have to make the switch. I've always been a fan of the Daytona but the last lineup was missing something. The new white face is exactly what I'm looking for.

sounds great. good luck.

Get the BLNR and flip it for the Daytona when it becomes available to you. Who knows how long that will be

This - BLNR has flattened out on price in my opinion. Might as well have some fun during the wait

I've paid attention to some of TRF's finest. I'm waiting for you to tell him to get both

I second or third that notion ...

It should retain much of its value and you'll
be " watching " in style during the wait ...

Good point here. The BLNR has a very strong resale value and could easily be flipped for the Daytona. At least you will have something to wear while you wait!

YES!!! Imagine that waiting list!! Rolex AD must be busy answering all the phone calls today.

sea-dweller · 17 March 2016, 01:38 AM

Good choice!

Horology.life · 17 March 2016, 01:39 AM

Definitely get the BLNR, the Daytona won't be available for a while. Enjoy the BLNR until then!

tkerrmd · 17 March 2016, 01:39 AM

I wondered if the newly announced SS Daytonas would soften demand for the BLNR. Now I think yes, that price premium may begin to drop. I bet demand for the D-Blue will also abate.
Life may be difficult at the AD because so many buyers will be waiting for products not available until fall.

I don't think demand for BLNR will soften much due to SS Daytona, it is a completely different watch. The average Rolex buyer is probably not wanting to wait 6 months for a watch either.

It will be longer than that--most (even if they think they are '#1' on a fake list) won't see one on their wrist this year (unless ready to pay over).

I disagree...many people looking to buy a BLNR are doing so because its the new "hot" watch, not because they specifically want a GMT.
In this hobby may people chase the latest and greatest regardless of the function or complication
I tend to be opposite....I wait for things (price) to settle down

Many people are not actually.

This is a complete contradiction to your post above...do you have hard data to show how many people buy a GMT because they frequesntly travel to other timezones??

I'm really not sure how one would have anything at all to do with the other.

All three of the watches you mentioned are completely different and people love them for completely different reasons.

OP I would definitely get both. You won't regret that I promise.
