Unlikely. The model is not in production and it’s pretty popular. I doubt there are any that have been sitting around this long, and I don’t think Rolex ships models that are officially discontinued...

Why discontinue a great watch like that? I assume its still a good buy used (2015-2018) around $10K?

Yes if you are lucky. I waited nearly a year. The Rolex Sydney Boutique called me last Tuesday and this was acquired. Best watch I’ve ever owned.

As most have said already, it’s discontinued but I understand that certain ADs are due to get a small amount (probably Rolex clearing out their stock)...well that’s what I hope as I’ve been promised one!

I've just had a call from my AD offering me the new BLNR Batman. Picking it up Wednesday. I was on the list for the Pepsi since last year. That hasn't arrived so they offered me this instead. Happy days. Seems there is a slow trickle of these watches in the UK. This is the first blue one they have had and they are only expecting one more this year.

Nice, I've been speaking with an AD in Manchester and they hadn't received any as of yet, good news.

I'll be back in the UK end of month, still more than likely zero chance of picking one up haha

Good luck. I've found dealing with a smaller, local to me, AD has bee quite productive over the last few years.

Congrats you are a lucky man

Don’t know who Ken is, but you may owe him a beer or two

It is a great watch, but presumably Rolex have only limited capacity and wanted to devote more resources to manufacturing the more popular BLNR and BLRO versions, rather than the LN.

There may be ADs out there who may have stock of the LN. It's a question of finding them!
