A friend of mine mentioned that a reliable source had mentioned that the 116710 BLNR will be discontinued very soon. Has anyone else heard this rumour?

It's such an amazing piece that I can not see why they would discontinue it?

One Ping Only · 30 June 2017, 07:59 PM

Have not heard that. One of the best selling models so why would they?

in the UK "discontinued" is often confused with not available

Kyle78 · 30 June 2017, 08:04 PM

I doubt it will be discontinued until the gmt receives a redesign.

beshannon · 30 June 2017, 08:10 PM

No, have not heard that rumor.

No reason to discontinue one of their most popular watches.

Minimalist · 30 June 2017, 08:22 PM

It's probably just another sales tactic that either an ad or a grey market dealer is using.

Racerdj · 30 June 2017, 08:28 PM

I'd be very surprised if they did.

Andad · 30 June 2017, 08:33 PM

omx5o · 30 June 2017, 08:42 PM

It will definitely be discontinued. My guess is 20 years.

Muzz · 30 June 2017, 08:45 PM

Here we go again.

1William · 30 June 2017, 08:53 PM

I don't think it will happen but you never know.

Nairn1980 · 30 June 2017, 09:24 PM

I don't see it happening.

Rolexavidfan · 30 June 2017, 10:22 PM

If the replacement will be an SS Black and Red (coke) then it is a possibility for its discontinuance.

I'll be happy to get a BLNR, but with that rumor, the waiting list might get longer. :(

Oh lord.

nvrp813 · 30 June 2017, 10:29 PM

Maybe in 2023. 10 year production run sounds about right. My guess is the all black GMT gets discontinued first, possibly for a SS coke bezel

mrenvy · 30 June 2017, 10:40 PM

Whenever Rolex develop something new, they will put it on the precious metal models first. Unless there is a new gold GMT with new design and new caliber, you won't see a new SS GMT model.

I thought I recalled that the BLNR was going to be a "special edition" when it was released. If they don't discontinue it, perhaps they will move it to white gold only like the BLRO. I for one never expected the Batman to last.

That would make sense, since Rolex is owned by a charity and is "not for profit." lol

gregmoeck · 30 June 2017, 10:58 PM

They are ending production of the hulk, get em while you still can

Danny83 · 30 June 2017, 10:59 PM

No way

Sounds like a made up rumor you might here at a AD to move product.
