There are multiple BLROs on the forums in good to NIB condition, ranging from $16k to 18.75k. I’m sure they keep just as good time as DavidSW’s

I just can’t get behind paying twice msrp for a watch, I understand supply and demand and the whole situation that we’re currently in with the market but not for me. It’s too bad because I think the watch is a stunner at the right price point but not for 18-20k.

Curious - you'd sell it now? Didn't you just get it? |

I buy and sell watches as a hobby so I don’t get too attached. Some of my watches are definitely meant to be kept and others are definitely just “inventory.” But at a certain price yes I would sell my Pepsi. I might not get another one right away but I’m sure over time I would be able to get one near where I got this one. To be clear this isn’t my job or a business, it’s just a way I’ve been able to offset the cost of the hobby a little. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

And to think that you could pick up a Royal Oak 15400ST for the same money...

Not that my AD or Rolex necessarily care, but the madness has turned me off on the brand. I’ve got some coveted pieces and i’ll enjoy them but no more chasing watches for me.

And, in Chrono24 there used to be about 250 up for sale of this reference, now down to 178 units worldwide. Some of the really reputable sellers in Germany asking well over 21K for one. |

+1 and you will have a far superior time piece. You can get an AP Chrono for same price as the BLNR and a couple grand more than the BLRO is going for grey and it runs circles on any Rolex SS model. I really just don't understand the craziness over Rolex.

Each to their own and all that, but there is absolutely nothing about the Royal Oak that I find appealing.

I did not start this thread for us to start bashing DavidSW. Guys, he buys expensive too. And for those thinking he is the one driving the market higher, take a look at these other trusted sellers, one of them in Germany.

I wouldn’t say it’s turned me off the brand, but I’m sure not chasing these watches like some are.

Agreed, No reason to bash anyone or be negative but if anyone else has noticed these watches just sit on Chrono and other sites. Some have been up forever. People aren't lining up to pay double retail because if they were there wouldn't be any listed. It's mostly a pipe dream for the grey's and other people flipping. Sure some unfortunate newbies or people that have money to burn pay those prices but I believe for the most part people who are into this hobby are a bit smarter than that. I could see a couple of grand over retail but double for a Rolex watch that is not "rare" is insanity. |

I hope that Rolex buys it, researches who sold it and bans them.
Sorry, just my "righteous indignation" flaring up |

Thank you for sharing this. It's now known as Rolex grand plan of gravitating from SS sport to DJ/PM/TT

Not wearing any sportie models Rolex anymore,except for my 2011 DSSD.After it goes in for a service and a rebrush for a like new look,it will also go into storage.
They are just worth too much to wear . Will be enjoying DJ41s/DJ II/ IWC/Jaeger leCoultre and Panerai |
