BLNR pricing?

Hello everyone,

So I emailed a jeweler in Miami, crmjewelers, and from my research they seem to be a reputable jeweler. They said the BLNR used is $7k and new is $8k.

I have been on rolexforums for months trying to catch a deal, but can't even find a used one for under $8300.

I am up in New York so if i were to pick it up, I would fly down and make a weekend out of it, but does the pricing seem too good to be true?

Are you sure they didn't misunderstand you and gave you pricing on a regular GMT.

Seems low. Especially for a newer piece if you find a price that is considerably lower than what some of the high volume TRF sellers offer, I would be skeptical.

Sounds like a regular Gmt price.

That was my first reaction, that it had to be for the all black. I emailed them back asking for clarification.

Sounds like they forget to add the last three digits after the $8000 quote.

It may be possible without box and pappers. I've seen one used for arround 7k. But you never know the history of the watch and where it came from.

I follow them on IG too and I have never seen them sell anything but authentic pieces. They had two BLNRs for sale on IG for $8475.00 a couple days ago. Why would they ask over AD price? That makes no sense.

No clue, but i went in the store and the lady told me they were very rare. I couldnt imagine how it was more expensive than retail but she said if i bought it today they could work something out...i doubt it would be 1500 discount though. Still on the lookout for a good deal on a blnr :(

Same here.

"It is about $8,000, my dear."
