for anyone wanting one in LA, there was a blnr at the AD in glendale galleria. it's not displayed but stored in the safe in the back. they brought it out for me to try on.
not sure on discounts though

I would love to do spontaneous purchases, but when I have an AD who gives me 20% off pretty much any watch + tax-free, there is no way I will buy from anyone else.

Seems to me there are plenty of these around if you don't mind buying on line.

20% on ss model like Blnr or hulk???? That's quite a deal, but have not heard of this before.

Yes, I am a very lucky person to have met this AD thru a family friend. My family has bought 4 rolexes from her in the past 1.5 years. And will never stop going back!

If you guys do not mind asking, how much discount did you actually get - if any - on the BLNR?

I am interested in real life prices not speculations based on previous purchases of other models.

I got mine at MSRP, but I was able to skip the line because of a friend that works at the AD.

Just got the call today from my AD. Said they'd got one in and I was top of the waiting list. To be honest I'd forgotten I'd put my name down.

Pick it up tomorrow

really? most ADs in the tysons corner area do not have them on display. some of them have short waiting list. The largest rolex AD in the area gets 2 every couple weeks and they are gone by COB on the same day. I have one on hold for me and I haven't had time to pick it up yet.

10% on blnr and hulk in Canada or no dice. 5% on D blue or no go. The rest of the SS sports models I would expect around 15%. 20% on datejusts. Full gold and some TT 25%.

Back in December when I decided to pull the trigger I was looking frantically in every AD in Chicago area. Only one said he might be able to provide one if a customer does come to pick it up... It might have been bs for all I know.
I happened to be in Indianapolis and at Reis-Nichols they could not even come with an estimated delivery date. They almost said this watch is made out of unbtainium and they have a bunch of loyal customers waiting in line for it...
One is at razny in highland park which is 25 mins away from chicago if you are still there. I think it's overhyped how unattainable they are, I've been to several AD's with them. No chance at a discount though of course.

I stuck my head in there (Wynn) yesterday. One of the sales associates was wearing one and let me try it on. It's even more beautiful in person.

I was quoted a 6 week wait time. I'm still debating on getting it (vs. a 116520)

But I did end up getting a 11610LN in the heat of the moment :)

As for ordering one, they would asked for a full payment up front and it would come to your doorstep or hotel in 2 weeks time. Not a bad waiting time. But make no mistake you will not be getting any discount here.
I like the entry stamp on your wrist. very las vegas

I walked into my local AD they didn't have any out on display but had one in the back. I was a little PO'ed because I had been in a month before and asked to be notified if they got any in. I just happened to stop in since I was at the mall and see what was up. Guess it was meant to be but sure would of been nice to get a phone call.

That's funny the manager had one. The manager at the AD in Tampa had one and so did the manager at the AD in Maui.

It's a beautiful watch no doubt about it. I popped in an AD today and they had a BLNR and an LVC in the case. Also had a black dial Milgauss GV.
