BLNR vs Hulk - which will disappear from the catalogue first?

[Bobby100]

What do you think gentlemen? Which of these will go up in value the most.

[wytrader]

Same time. Equal valuation.

[padi56]

How many more of these posts about watches disappearing from the catalogue,lets get things perfectly straight.Both 116710BLNR and 116610LV are high volume sellers and will be around for many years to come.Today its becoming a obsession with some about will this or that go up or down if this or that happens.

Over what time period? In what currency?

[Rashid.bk]

Interestingly neither of them actually have what you would call "super powers" like the ability to fly, shoot webs from the wrists, control magnetism or whatever. Batman is just an MMA expert in a gown and Hulk is just an angry man who is very strong. I'd invest in Batman myself as he has a cave whereas Hulk just appears to live on the streets in rags.

Batman is a rich guy with some fancy gadgets. The Hulk is a super human creature with muscles and anger management issues. Always bet on “green”.

i think the BLNR will get discontinued first. FWIW i think they make far more BLNR's than the Hulk and i think those will continue to be made for some time. As for value its got to be the Hulk if there are less of them to begin with.

I feel like the sub might go first...

About the value... I will guess that the one that gets discontinued first might suddenly increase in value. For the long run though.... I have no idea.

Why does everyone like to compare BLNR and Hulk?

Great question! I don’t trust robin lurking around... he might sucker punch the hulk.

While technically not flight, the Hulk of the comic books can leap miles at a time. I think he’s also radioactive. Not your average “strong man” lol.

Batman might be my fav super hero, but he doesn’t have a chance against Hulk.

Ok geek session out.

Back to watches, I get why everyone is fed up with these threads, but I don’t think it’s that unreasonable that they discontinue either of these models. Both have been around for a while and with new movements on the horizon, who knows!?

All I’m saying is that, as ridiculous as it sounds to act like you know a watch will be discontinued (when you clearly don’t know), it’s just as ridiculous to say you know it won’t be.

The 32 series movement is exactly the same size as the 31 movement so 32 movement will fit exactly the same in both cases.

[Macnavara]

This is why we cant walk into an AD and walk out with the watches wed love to buy...surely there are better things to enjoy than spending x thousands on watches that i believe many arent even that interested in

[khalifam]

I reckon both will be discontinued at the same time however, replaced for the newer movements and newer dials (Mk 2 dials)

I read on a blog that Rolex watches which have the reference 116 will be upgraded to the new model... I thought that was interesting.

I AM NOT CLAIMING THIS IS FACT JUST MY PREDICTION.

So do you think Rolex will just slip these movements in overnight in existing models, leaving them otherwise completely unchanged? I’m not trying to say they will or they won’t, I have no clue what they’re going to do. I do know Rolex has been unpredictable as of late. My point is that for anyone to say they know what Rolex will do is ridiculous.

That said, Historically speaking, when Rolex has updated movements, has it coincided with model updates as well?

You get on someone’s case for suggesting Rolex might discontinue a model, I don’t see why that’s any different than saying definitively they will not.

[Fedor]

Hulk if any

Three things could happen in my completely speculative opinion...

1) Both are updated to 126610LV and 126710BLNR with 32xx movements, coronets at 6 o'clock on the dials and a slight bump in MSRP. The current models are then discontinued by default

2) Both are silently updated to the newer movements again with coronets on the dial to denote the change

3) Rolex stops selling two models that are now in high demand worldwide, forfeiting whatever slice of profit these models produce

I'd bank on #1 being the only logical path. So, while the current models very well run the chance of being discontinued, they'll run an equal chance of being replaced with something that people will want even more.

Rolex has a history of making new stuff that people want more than the former.

As far as which will disappear from the catalog first, I'll vote 'neither' given that upgraded replacements are more likely. In my eyes that's not a removal.

very logical response. I agree with you.

I agree with #1 as most probable. I wouldn't be surprised though if they put the LV in the next generation sub WG model and put a blue LB/SS combo in place of the LV/SS combo.

What I noticed is that Rolex is reserving green dials now for exclusivity such as the PM models; the Green/YG GMT, Green/YG Daytona, Green/RG DD40.

With people speculating that Rolex is trying to move upmarket, cut down on SS professionals, and sell more PM models, it would make sense for the Hulk to get bumped into a PM. Save a LB/SS for a hard-to-get waiting list Sub, like they have been doing with the Blue Skydweller, (half)Blue Batman, and Blue-dialed James Cameron. This is of course just my own speculation
