Right?

"No, I waited 5 years and paid $10,000 for it"

To the OP, only you can know.

At gray prices you should expect to get about $5k (CAD) coming your way.

No way

If you re seriously considering trading your BLNR for something, it is obviously time to move it on. It isn't singing to you any more.

I wouldn't do that particular trade but you should do as you see fit.

I have several opinions about many of the watches and collections on TRF, and while I believe it’s perfectly fine to proclaim you dislike a watch on here, it’s quite another to make fun of someone for their watch choice. They spent hard earned money on it, who are you to tell them they are wrong or to tell them what to like? Suggest showing just a little respect.

You know what? You're right.

In my defense, he doesn't own the watch.

Surely you are kidding

That’s fair. And for what it’s worth as much as I do like the Snoopy (I don’t own one though), I’d still probably keep the BLNR personally. But nothing against anyone who would choose the Snoopy

I must be mistaken but doesn't the snoopy trade higher in the secondary than a BLNR?

Yes it does.

My mistake i meant the other way around ....

nope

I would love to get a snoopy, but I wouldn’t trade my GMT for it. I did try selling some of my other pieces to make funds for a new watch, but the market wasn’t too interested in what I have. For you, I guess it’s just a question of how much you like/wear the BLNR vs your others.

[Guppydriver]

I think it depends on how much you value exclusivity. I do prefer the BLNR and also prefer GMT complications to chronographs.

However, if you feel confident you can get another BLNR(RO) from your AD in relatively short order, then maybe it's something to consider.

Some people can order two?

Here's what my local SA would say:
- "We only sell SS sports models to first time Rolex buyers."
- "I know from reading TRF that you flipped your last BLNR. I cannot help you."
- "Please buy some jewelry, it's almost Valentines Day!"

[Beo3]

I say no. The BLNR is a beautiful watch and has a much greater wrist presence than the Snoopy.

While I would love a Snoopy, I would never trade my BLNR for one.

But do whatever makes you happy and be confident in your decision.

Good luck!

Is the Snoopy a limited edition? I’m not sure they are, but I know the wait list are long too. I really like the Snoopy, but I will put my name on the list.

[Nodzex]

I would do it in a heartbeat and Snoopy is more expensive on 2nd market, you can get a Batman for about $16k now, NOT Snoopy!

They are, until there's a re-release. And then there's another limited edition.

Or a plastic licensed homage

[MrZoSo]

Snoopy is not an official limited addition. They are only given too preferred clients. Think we should all be aware of that experience here lol
Boutique only I believe.
They are worth almost triple retail and at it's highest 4x. Most likely will trade around 30k+ once it is no longer available, which won't be long from now.

The distinct lack of empathy and respect in the responses shows that this really wasn’t the right place to ask this kind of question. But that’s not your fault, OP. Anyway, you can get the BLNR at retail again after not too long of a wait. The Snoopy, on the other hand, is harder to get. It’s a beautiful, charming watch.

For most people, the BLNR is a long wait. It’s not like a black sub or datejust.

[current_exchange]

You would have to be completely out of your mind to do that trade !

[rmlovett1]

I personally would not. If it’ll make you happier then I’d do it if I were you.

I was directly addressing the OP when I said, “you” (funny—it’s usually the other way around, right? As in, meaning the general “you” instead). Because they said, “I know I have no shot at a snoopy without purchase history... but a BLNR i might be able to get again in the future if it isn't discontinued.”

[Trailboss516]

I definitely would not. There is a peanuts character on it. How is that different that Garfield or a Power Ranger?
To each their own so who cares what I think!

"Anyway, you can get the BLNR at retail again after not too long of a wait."

“I know I have no shot at a snoopy without purchase history... but a BLNR i might be able to get again in the future if it isn't discontinued.”

You (directly) apparently have no trouble getting anything from your AD (from another thread) but you do have, in this instance, trouble making a good argument. "Might be able if not discontinued" doesn't lead to "Anyway, you can get the BLNR at retail again after not too long a wait"

What you mean't was "Anyway, I can get....." That is simply not true for the vast majority of potential purchasers, even for you if the BLNR is discontinued.
