All have been discussed and rumored. All could be true. None could be true. Some combination could be true/false.

So as far as any speculation goes, it's merely that. Including pricing increases.
Perfectly worded!

We can now close this thread!

I hope so, I just took out a new loan on my house and bought 25 of them. I’m going to spend my next 1000 posts hyping it.

I can’t see them releasing a Coke GMT side by side with the Pepsi just being released.

My AD advised me to buy their whole stock because Rolex stops producing watches.

My thought, exactly. I own the Batman and it’s an amazing watch. I hope they keep it in production because so many enthusiasts still want one.

I am getting so bored of all the hype and 5hyte surrounding the BLNR that I feel like offloading mine and getting something less hyped.

Shame, as I have always liked the watch since I bought it in 2014.....but it's wearing a bit thin currently.

I heard Batman and Hulk are gone. Gee. It must be true.

What is true is the entire line is slowly being upgraded to the new movements and bracelets. To that extent, all the existing models are in a stage of being discontinued. Narrower traditional lugs on the Subs may be in the works also. I like the way the new bracelets, President and Jubilee. integrate to the case.

my brother's uncle's sister in law's husband's nephew heard it from Ferris Bueller that HE is the one who got Rolex to discontinue it! The end of the run will happen effective Feb 1, 1986

Isn’t that the truth!
It’s simple. When it’s taken off Rolex.com, it’s discontinued. Otherwise, it’s still being manufactured and doesn’t need to be discussed.

You realize discontinued doesn’t mean inventory is exhausted....

Again....

If buy to wear, why care? All models to discontinue one fine day.

Such topics mainly concern those who buy not for own wearing.
