BLNR price tread

Hi all BLNR owners

Just for fun and out of curiosity let's share how much we bought our BLNRs and country, I'm sure we all would like to compare our purchase! I'll start:

Country: Malta
Price: €6,900

Cheers

You got a nice deal! Here in Mexico the BLNR is really rare and most ADs have waiting lists and offer no discount (so, around $9000).

No discount at my AD either, paying full retail 9,680 USD$. I live in Maine though and my AD is small, maybe some bigger AD's in Boston have more stock and more wiggle room, but not from what I've heard.

Bought mine in Toronto for $8,110.00 CAN plus sales tax. Retail price was $9,650.00 CAN. In US currency today that would be about $7,266.00US.

I was going to buy one. I was priced at $8000 even. Before taxes. 8680 after taxes. Sadly, I wasn't satisfied with the fit. If it fit right, that's the price I would have paid.

I was quoted $7400 in Italy last week. I couldn't pull the trigger because I was unsure if I wanted a watch similar to my Sub C and the Panerai 422 I tried on the day before was stuck in my head.

That's a very competitive offer price. It makes sense for a US guy to take a mini-trip to Toronto and buy it there. Wear it home and maybe no customs to worry about.

I'd say that is more than just a very competitive offer price...that price is a steal for the BLNR!

It'll be cheaper to fly to Canada than to buy it here

Maybe I should consider the 2 hr drive to Dallas...however, with the 10% tax here and there is may not make that much difference...still a 5 figure price tag...

Caribbean AD $8,050 out the door with no sales tax. They threw-in a rolex knife to take the sting out of an $8k price tag.

There are some good deals out there, just not in the USA, lol. I'm surprised that the BLNR is still priced the way that it is. Even from our sellers, the discount is minimal.

i paid $8,630 from the AD in Qatar in mid September. I first looked at the watch in late August and was quoted $8,220. I didn't realise that a 5% price increase was coming on 1 September. The same AD has a branch in Doha International Airport where the watches retail at about 5% discount but there is a more limited range on offer.

Around US$8060 all inclusive
Got a 11% discount over MRP- but this after a LOT of hard bargaining/pleading!

Plus I bought a couple of other (non-Rolex) watches from the parent company within a fairly short period- added to my clout

Guess I did just a bit better than tax in at $9500! Our tax is brutal at 13%!
