Apologies of this has been asked and answered on another thread. But did Rolex provide any information wrt upgrading the movement on the BLNR?

Why does the BLNR need a new movement? Mine has kept amazingly perfect time for over a year.

If the BLNR does get the new movement and then discontinued shortly after, I can see it becoming like the 16710's with the 3186 movement.

According to ablogtowatch it is discontinued. Don’t have enough posts for link but if you read their “hands on” article on the new Pepsi jubilee you will see it.

However, I don't think anyone can say the BLNR is on the chopping block just yet. As far as I can tell, the article's author is jumping to that conclusion based on the same exact information we all have. New movement and (slightly) different case means it's officially a discontinued model? I do agree this year's announcement puts the current LN and BLNR in the crosshairs for a decision in the near-term. Do they introduce this year's movement and modified case to a new LN next year on an Oyster bracelet? Will the BLNR bezel be put to rest if they do this with the LN next year? I don't know how it plays out, but for now it seems the BLNR is still around and shipments will continue to flow in. Full quote of the paragraph below... "Rolex began their newest generation of high-performance in-house made movements inside the Day-Date 40 watch, as well as the use of their latest generation of watch case production techniques. The new cases are very well finished and do indeed make for a slightly better experience than the outgoing generation of GMT-Master II watches. That also means the popular "Batman" black and blue bezel Rolex GMT-Master II 116710BLNR is now a discontinued model." |

main difference is power reserve, which is not a huge issue for me. 48 hrs is ok.
