Lesson from SDDS D-Blue: Rolex will not discontinue something that sells well. BLNR and LN are both still in high demand but because there is still inventory of old movements new one will be phased in later this year and both introduced as new references.
Why would they include in 2018/19 printed catalogue soon to be obsoleted references ? LN and BLNR are on display at Basel because they will keep them around and website will get updated with new references when old inventory gets depleted. Not revolution but evolution. Rolex doesn't need to wait for Basel 2019 to do this.
