Any New BRLO Owners who were NOT First?

We have seen quite a few BRLO SS GMT II deliveries recently. I am curious if any of these new BRLO Owners were not at the top of the list for their AD?

I think if they weren't at the top, then they are still waiting lols. This watch is too high in demand to pass up by anyone.

Or he could mean did the AD get more than one.
There is a thread on CWC that a guy passed on it. He wasn't excited when he saw the colours and passed. Instead of buying and flipping and destroy his relationship with the AD he let it go to the next person.

I am asking if AD’s are getting more than one of these watches.

What I am trying to understand is if we are looking at a Daytona supply or a Submariner supply.

When I gave my AD a deposit she told me I could switch to a Batman pretty much whenever I wanted.

That is quite a lot. 24 per year!
That waitinglist shrinks fast!

I was told I was the first to call but sorry doesn't mean you'll be first to get. Translation VIP's don't need to call to be first to receive. And now I play the waiting game

Same for me... I'm settling into my daily routine of banging my head against the desk trying to get my mind off of all the pictures I see of everyone else wearing them, then reluctantly going back onto instagram looking for more pictures. It's a vicious cycle

I like many others am on the list. Someday it will arrive. I want to wear the watch, and will
not sell it. I think I am in the minority. The flippers are anxious to make money rather than have pride in their new GMT. Sad.

No-no, the flippers are "nice capitalists". "Don't hate the player hate the game"
This ridiculous point of view is very popular on TRF

I'm with you. This is going to be a "forever watch" that I can make memories in and hand down to my kid one day. I'm even going to get it engraved at the AD with his name in it. I was first to call, and I'm #4 on my AD's waiting list, but that could change if another VIP jumps in... Maybe I'll get one before my 35th B-day in January...? Fingers crossed...

I agree. I picked mine up from my AD three weeks ago and have no interest in selling. It’s perfect.

It won’t be Daytona tough. More like BLNR if anything... Just my humble guesstimate.

My guess is it will be Daytona tough and for quite a while. BLNR never had this kind of hype and supply will stay low for all professional models for the foreseeable future.

Nope
At Chrono24 I counted 60 new white-dial 116500 LN vs 62 one month fresh 125710 BLRO

no one is saying it is hard to get at market prices. Try to get one from your AD at retail and say it isnt Daytona hard.

Exactly plus half of Chrono ads don’t even have watches in possession.

Well, 2 AD’s have put me in the list for BLRO and gave ETA (this fall-winter) whereas Daytona’s WS is the subject of sad smiles, excuses and stories about extremly low supplies

I’m comparing qty of offers for both, BLRO and Daytona.
I guess that enough to see the trend

I think you are wrong.
The AD i am dealing with need an unrefundable deposit of EUR 1.000,- before placing on waitinglist. I am queued now with a four year waitinglist position.

Have you ever heard such things for the BLNR? I didn't.

You put down a thousand euro nonrefundable deposit and have a four year wait? You have more patience than I.

I think more like a Daytona, but as there has been a lot of criticism of Rolex lately plus this is not a brand new watch for the most part, I think supply might be better than I thought, at least to verified non-flipper WIS.

There has been a $2k price drop at a trusted seller’s website on the BLRO, but the Daytona is holding. This will be interesting to watch, no pun intended!

and the premium vs RRP is less on a daytona. Since a Daytona isnt more than 2X list price, the BLRO "dropping" doesnt really say that much in a comparison sense.

Agreed, but it is still a pretty significant drop.
