Actually seen, BLNR OR D-Blue?

[WEST HAM ROLEX]

Ratio - Just wondered if these watches are seen much over in the US than in the UK

From London and on my travels to Asia I have seen in total approx 5 X BLNR
I have seen one Deep Sea Blue (airline lounge at Heathrow)

My actually seen ratio would be 5 to 1

I have friends trying to get the D-Blue but they also have seen one worn or at an AD. They just tried on the black DSSD...obviously allowing for the different dial

Just wondered how many you guys have seen of each model?

[Watchgeek5000]

I live in NYC area. Stand in the lobby of Morgan Stanley with a counter in your hand!

[JRT]

Actually seen:
(1) BLNR: 0 (but 1 on my wrist)
(2) Deep Blue: 0

[Chadridv]

My best bud has a blnr and his was the first I'd seen in person after many many AD visits. Recently I've seen it at three different ADs.

I saw the d-blue once at an AD and the sales rep told me they had (meaning not in the showcase). I bought it. That was the only one I'd seen in the wild and/or at an AD to this day.

[shoppy]

3 BLNR not including the one on my wrist or my wifes, but I have been travelling to london a lot the last few weeks. A few deep seas and lots and lots of subs and the now older daytona. Only seen one older Coke.

[reloxt]

Never seen a BLNR other than my own (hard to get over here), Deep-blue on a few occasions (and seem to become available on the second hand market more and more).

They could have been fakes though as you can get aftermarket d-blue dials i've seen one first hand and at a glance you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

[brettpaul]

I've seen a few BLNRs in the Middle East and Asia in AD cases (maybe 10-15 in the last 3 years), and have seen the D-Blue only a handful of times in the AD cases...maybe 3 in the last 2 years.

[brandrea]

I've seen BLNR quite frequently in this area. I've only seen the DBlue once, and I jumped on it like a fat kid on smarties

Very nice,,enjoy wearing
I might get a phone call next year

[bmpregler]

Two BLNRs out of three ADs I have visited. Never thought to look for a DEep

[Steve36Efc]

Mine is 1:1

BLNR in an AD which I bought and a DBlue which was waiting to be collected by its new owner the AD let me have a look.

[GradyPhilpott]

I've only seen one BLNR and I bought that one. My AD says he's sold more, but won't say how many. It's not as many as he'd like, though. I've never seen one in the wild.

I've seen a Deep Blue at the AD, never in the wild.

[dcash0615]

I've seen several of both. I own the BLNR and passed on the Deep Blue when I was given the opportunity to buy one. I own the standard DSSD and the all black dial is fine for me. As we all know inventory in the US is more plentiful than the UK at the moment.

[AK797]

I don't always notice the SS models but I've seen BLNR once and never a DB in ADs.

[japenney]

Once each at my AD but I know they get several blnr per year and maybe 1 D-blue per year.

[Quailhunter]

I've never seen a BLNR in the "wild". I see a lot of two tone Datejust watches and black dial date Submariners. I see a few gold DayDates mostly in the airport clubs.

I've also never seen anyone even notice my BLNR or any other nice watch I was wearing. Except, a guy in the Burger King drive through complemented me on the good looking watch I was wearing. It was a Patek.

[hallidc]

I haven't seen a BLNR out in public, but have seen it in the display case at my local AD. As for the D-Blue, I've seen one in the case last year and seen one in the wild (during a face-to-face when selling my EXP2)

[sensui]

My local ads carries blnr and deep sea blue regularly. Not rare around here.

[Tomas Eriksson]

Seen quite a few blnr's, both in stores and on peoples wrists. I can only remember meeting two personers with D-blue, but might be more that I have forgoten

[Hodog16]

Haven't seen either in wild. Have seen BLNR maybe on 2 occasions at my local AD. They had a D blue last year I saw in the managers office along with a 116520 in their shipping containers. Both long sold.

I've since seen another D blue at another AD that as far as I know is still sitting in the case as of a month ago.

[brmeyers]

Seen a couple BLNR's in person, but no D-blues in my area (accept the one I own).
D-Blue slightly harder to get at my AD.
But accessible though for good clients (they keep both pieces in the back because of high demand), but I had no problem getting my currently owned D-blue and they said they can get me a BLNR anytime if I wanted one.

[Defiancekofb]

Other than my wrist I have seen 2 BLNRs and 4 D-Blue.

Watching Ryder Cup
I think Tiger Woods is wearing a D Blue
Maybe he is hoping it goes up in value

[henryjbird]

There is the one on my wrist I see regularly ... typically 4 out of 7 days .... The Ennebi usually sneaks into the rotation and the Black Bay.... some times Panerai 113 or Omega Baby Ploprof ... but the BLNR gets the most reps...

Out in the wild ... never on either of those 2...

BLNR is the AD at Cherry Creek Mall in Denver .... either the same one has been sitting for awhile or they have a good supply. Been there last 3 times I visited and that has been over 5 or 6 months ...

Unlike his career.

[GB-man]

I've seen maybe 5-6 blnrs per DB.
