Agree with others, he was adamant BLNR was gone for good. That'll p*ss a few of the people that have been 'investing' in them at a high price in anticipation
Right or wrong the jubilee on that BLNR is so badly photoshopped its laughable

That's what happened though? The BLNR was discontinued a few months ago, the very few incomings we had were from previous production. Now they've changed the reference number, upgraded to the new movement, changed the bracelet and a minor change on the dial (probably lugs too) so it's essentially a new model. You can be sure these will be completely unavailable for 3-6 months, sell for $20k for the next 12 months and likely push 116710BLNR prices to above $15k.

Not me. The main function of a watch is to be able to read the time. That’s worse than the Daytona’s and the champagne dials for readability.

Blechhhhh! Really, that's it? I hope this is wrong. TT Sea Dweller WTF? About the only watch I can stand is the 42mm YM but there is zero chance I would buy one. Disappointing if true...

Wouldn’t that be the new model shown? The 12:00 marker looks like the teaser I think.

Not confident enough on these rumours to put them up on his website. I suppose it makes sense if your track record is as poor as his and you don’t like to own up to it.

Good point, didn't catch that. Other than the color, is is the exact watch and nato strap as the Bucherer isn't it? Is there anything else I'm missing?

Well it's an interesting turn of events for the BLNR especially as it relates to RPR. Will be interesting to finally see what happens. I sold mine a month ago, and not because of the hype, but just because I wasn't in love with it. Looks like that might have been the right move.

As far as this leak is concerned. It appears to be legitimate based how the photos look and even something like that medeorite dial makes sense with the Rolex teaser - of what we can assume now was a medeor shooting through the sky.

The 12:00 marker on the teaser is elongated as compared to the markers around it. On this photo it is the exact same length. I still think this is a photoshopped Bucherer

I am a fan of some of the new tudor models but none of the rolex models do anything for me this year.
