Bought a mint full set LN last year from a TS. Haven’t worn it because I was going to get the PCL’s satin finished. I believe it’s just going to sit in the safe as is for a while longer.......

What about the 116718?
I read somewhere (maybe this thread) that 116718 is still showcased at the Rolex booth whereas the 116710 isn’t... |

The general message was: "The waiting list is 2-3 years, in general we don´t accept new names but if we do, we want a 20% down payment." |

As for that 20%, I'd seriously consider a refundable down payment, heck even a full payment in advance than having to jump through various hoops or do bundled deals, let alone paying 2xMSRP to the grays. |

There and then he offered to let me have the next one as long as I am a serious buyer and happy they withhold the warranty card for 6 months! Deposit paid yesterday and the watch is ready for collection next week, a very lucky day for me. It did make me wonder was it the birth year thing thst swung it, or that I am new client garunteed to purchase more from them? Keep trying as it can be done! Sent from my LYA-L09 using Tapatalk

My local AD has the two tone gmt green hand 116713 in stock.
I don't know I'll ever be able to get the 116710 anymore. What are your thoughts in regards to two tone and resale value? |

Have these recent premiums arrived in the UK yet? On Chrono there are four LN''s under £7000.

It’s cause they don’t want to sell to flippers. Keep looking, you will find an AD willing to work with you. Also this hype will slow down inevitably so just hang on tight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Has the GMT LN bubble burst ?
This one just reduced from £12.5k to £9,999.00 ? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F153427255054 |

Was watching Austin Daniels yesterday on YT regarding the Asian market and the black GMT:

Just few weeks ago, it could be easily found around MSRP. If you don't have one get on board quickly as LN pricing and availably for the LN is still reasonable. |

As luck would have it
Two weeks ago I mentioned to my son that I would like a new SS Rolex model, a Sub or a GMT, but they were in short supply and I was not about to spend my time looking for one. Given he lived near our AD, I asked him to go in and inquire and make it known that if they receive one to let him know. Within a couple of weeks he called me on the weekend and said they had a few. This was last Sunday. He went in, bought me the LN GMT, at retail. There was a no-date sub there that I perhaps should have acquired - but didn't. He said it was uncanny. He witnessed a few people who were lucky enough to get there on time. One customer was clutching the display model they brought out and wouldn't let it go. He doubted there were any left by the time he left the store. I had no idea it was discontinued until the sales person told me on the phone. I would have to think Rolex will reinvigorate the black on black. I find it compliments a suit very well.

Here in NL the LN's are selling fast. One grey dealer had 5 LN's with prices between EUR 9500 (used) and EUR 12500 (BNIB). All gone now. No idea if these watches are being bought by WIS or speculators. |

Smart by Rolex to discontinue this watch, given that it was viewed as vastly less popular than the BLNR and BLRO. I don't think they'll bring it back on jubilee like they have with the Batman

A March 19 116710LN unworn just sold for £9350 on UK EBay so top prices have dropped since the post Basel initial frenzy.

Haha. You made me chuckle a little. What, 10 year production? Now people want it? I should have bought up all the Yugos for sale, I’d be a billionaire by now (under that logic)

The LN was my first Rolex buy about 11 years ago and I'll never sell the watch but it's interesting to see the demand spike only after Rolex discontinues it. Classic watch with a great profile and I'm proud to still wear mine daily.

It will probably be re-released in the future with updated movement and SS jubilee bracelet like the BLRO and BLNR. Long wait list ahead.

Posts have stated in other threads from AD sources that Rolex are differentiating the GMT from the Submariner and it wont be reintroduced with a single colour bezel. I also believe the green hand will not be seen again (unless a bi-colour bezel with a green half appears - that would be cool).
In terms of plain black sport models I think its beautiful and superior to the Sub as it sits better on the wrist with its slimmer back plate (not to mention the extra hand). |
