My feeling would be new models with the newer movement. People here have been wishing for a Coke GMT SS for some time. Discontinuing might further add demand in order to complete the sell off of the older models, drive the Pepsi SS GMT market to a new height, and ensure that future GMT models are heavily waiting listed and wanted when announced.

Is the OP refering to the "catalogue" the AD hands out to customers or to the "catalogue" that the AD keeps (the one with all the Datejust dials) which is actually for stock ordering purposes?

Lol and tomorrow all the forum dealers will be marking up their BLNR by $2k... don’t buy into hype until it’s confirmed.

More likely the BLNR will be upgraded to 126710BLNR or its replacement is the 126710BLRO

The RONR if it ever comes will be WG

If it is just a movement update and that new slightly shinier case then I think it can be released at any time, but I think next Basel is most likely. Really doubt the BLNR is completely discoed.

I was assuming the AD catalogue was what was being referenced. The customer book is useless as an indicator. Only a few choices are ever shown in that.

I still see it on the site:



Hope it gets discontinued, but don’t think I’d flip it... at least not until after I get a Pepsi. Trying to have a 3 piece collection with Batman/Pepsi, Hulk, and white ceramic Daytona. Just need my AD to get me a Hulk.

I hope they update the LN with the new movement. The colored bezels don't really speak to me.

Get ready for a price hike, it's a beautiful watch while supplies last.

If Rolex is off loading the remaining BLNR stock before taking it off the website, where are they then? There are still none in AD’s. All they need to do is put them in the Boutique windows and they’ll be gone tomorrow!

Maybe this is the last of the green GMT LN!!!

Think of it, it does not make economic sense for Rolex to have 2 different GMT movements, to save manufacture cost only 1 newer movement is good enough.

Will keep the LN and get the SS BLRO-c later.

My AD told me he had 2 in the safe that came in with the last shipment. He also offered me the white Daytona that came in as well. I believe Rolex is still supplying them to dealers. BTW those two BLNR’s are sold... and the Daytona went to me.

I find it hard to imagine them discontinuing such an in-demand and beautiful piece as the BLNR. However, it might make sense if they are preparing it for the migration into the new movement.

Still on the website. BLNR and LN show as "Oystersteel" strangely enough.

If it’s a new case and movement like the new Pepsi, will it still have an oyster bracelet? If so, we can then switch the new Pepsi’s jubilee out to an oyster bracelet.
