BLNR Back From Rolex Service!
Just got my BLNR back from a full Rolex Service and I’m extremely pleased with how it’s come back!!
I purchased the BLNR 5 years ago, August 2014, and as things were then I managed to obtain a free service from my AD, no chance these days!! Anyway I wore my BLNR every day for 5 years and it had some wear and tear as is expected. I picked up a brand new TT Black Sub from the same AD last month, at which point I cashed in my free service on the BLNR. Today they called and said my BLNR was back from Rolex, they included the service invoice from Rolex with my paperwork, £550. It’s crisp and fresh and back with me, I love the BLNR it’s a beautiful watch but I must say I’m extremely taken with the TT Black Submariner, and it’s the TT Sub that gets the most comments. Both beautiful and complement each other |

Can you post some photos of your BLNR before/after service?

So close to the Summer 2015 green tag switch that I’m surprised they didn’t recommend waiting a bit longer.

I had a late 2014 BLNR and it was running like a dream. I wouldn’t have serviced it until a good few more years. |

Service, my 116520 was purchased in 2014. I have no plans for service until 2025 at the least more likely 2030.

The BLNR is a magnificent watch. It's the model that actually got me into Rolex. Over the past two years I was hoping that it would be my first watch, but doesn't look like it will happen :(
Discontinued and pricing are keeping me from being able to purchase one. Waiting for my SS C Daytona now. |

Is it true they come back looking brand new? I just sent my 2008 Submariner in for a full service and am awaiting its return?

Thanks guys, extremely happy with the results. It had been worn continuously for 5 years in all situations so had a fair few of signs of wear!
I wouldn’t hesitate in sending for a proper Rolex Service, although I know some have mixed views. |

 The only place I can see that it looks different to me are the shape of the crown guards, they look a little more rounded, but they probably took a fair few knocks to be fair! |

 My Submariner is back from the Rolex Service Center in pristine condition. It was my daily timepiece for 11 years before first service. When I got it back it looks like the day I bought it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I am not generally a fan of TT, but I do feel the black TT is a pretty cool watch. Thanks for sharing.
