Are we seeing more BLRO incomings lately?

I got the call last week for a BLRO from my AD unexpectedly. It might be my imagination, but it seems like these past couple of weeks we have seen more incomings posted.

If this is true, I hope the trend continues.

This picture was taken under all the bright lights in the showroom. It actually looks darker.

Congrats! Looks like an MK3 to me. The bolder bezel text is the biggest indication.

I have seen more at our trusted sellers and in the gray market in general the last month. There is no shortage if you want to buy one in the gray market. Prices have come down and set to be about their real world price point now.

i feel like there are def more BLRO incomings the last couple of months. i was led to believe over the summer that more would be landing, and mine did earlier than expected.

I believe so too. Got mine last month and have been seeing more postings of incoming BLROs the past weeks.

I hope so.

Not important enough of a client at my AD, but I've been on "the list" since the day it debuted.

Definitely - it appears more incomings lately and more at the Gray dealers as well ... meaning, folks are getting it and running directly to the grey dealers to make some extra cash - but definitely more incoming

Tourneau Roosevelt Field, NY told me not to expect any deliveries from Rolex for the remainder of 2019 and that was a month ago. If that's the case then there will awful lot of disappointed holiday shoppers in December.

That is BS...unless it's Tourneau HQ who's cutting them off. My local dealer continues to get regular deliveries and even expects some "Christmas Bonus" watches as in previous years.

Observations on the forum is probably not enough to draw conclusions on a trend. However it would be great with an increase steady and direct flow to the end user

I agree with the OP. I've noticed myself that there have seemed to be more incomings for this model.

It's far more likely he said that to shift your attention to those PM models that they have to clear by end of the year.

Are we seeing more BLRO incomings lately?

Seems like more incomings plus I read a post someone said their dealer is getting one or both a blro and blnr weekly.

May be good for those wanting one but not necessarily good if some oversaturation I’d imagine

I’m optimistic that we will see some form of stabilisation in terms of grey price vs watch flow from Rolex.

It is great to see the watches in wrist, instead of sitting sadly at a grey shop window / showcase!

My AD said they are getting like 1 SS GMT (BLRO/BLNR) per month steadily. Hopefully I can get my hands on one
