Thought it will interest many of you. Attached you’ll find the pages of the sport models. Prices are in CHF. No GMT LN / BLNR to be seen. Sub LB is still there though.

FSUGeoff · 27 March 2018, 04:38 AM

If true this is huge

(also first! on a thread set to be 10 plus pages long, lol)

BLNR Nairobi · 27 March 2018, 04:41 AM

Interesting.

I don’t want to necessarily feed the beast, but how long did it take for the LV (non C) to be officially listed as ‘discontinued?’

I know there are some who want the LN/BLNR to be discontinued, and there are others who do not want the LN/BLNR to go. Both camps have been quite vocal on other threads, but I hope on this one there can be logical (unemotional) debate.

It seems to me the listing is not just for new releases but for both new and old ...with the peculiar overlooking of the LN and BLNR.

There were also reports from some of the models disappearing from the website in certain locations (before coming back later).

Which makes me think that this is either some mistake Rolex made (and they will correct the oversight), or just maybe there might be some truth to speculation that those two models are being discontinued (or more likely, upgraded to the new movement).

Whichever outcome it sure is an interesting ‘oversight.’

Still there. Just on the page of the GMT master on top

Mozzer · 27 March 2018, 04:44 AM

Can’t see Rolex would not include the LN & BLNR for no reason

tbonesteak · 27 March 2018, 04:44 AM

Are prices flat?

It’s incl Swiss tax. Which is around 8%. Or do you mean something else (sorry, not a native speaker)

I was saying, prices didn't go up?

IDK what 2017 prices were in CHF.

As far as I know prices stayed the same. Only the new models are more expensive

oldman2005 · 27 March 2018, 05:20 AM

Sure is interesting, could be the end for LN / BLNR with the current older movement.

henrylee · 27 March 2018, 05:26 AM

Very interesting, thanks for posting the photos with it.

No need to start a new "Price increase" post ...

All prices stayed the same in Switzerland and everywhere, except a 4% price decrease for WG Gmt2 Blro.

New models of course have new price.

OMG. It’s true the BLNR is gone. Why leave the LV but not include the BLNR or LN?

Mozzer · 27 March 2018, 06:01 AM

I have checked several local Rolex AD’s and the BLNR or the black LN are not on there sites

Tommie85 · 27 March 2018, 06:04 AM

lecorsaire · 27 March 2018, 06:05 AM

SS Pepsi wait times just got 2 years longer. Seriously, now it will really be tough to buy if no other steel GMT will be available for at least a year.

timeldn · 27 March 2018, 06:13 AM

Thank you very much for sharing the information. It makes sense regarding the
the GMT LN / BLNR models being phased out.

Andrés G · 27 March 2018, 06:50 AM

Thanks for sharing this information. An interesting move from Rolex if confirmed that the BLNR is gone. I shouldn’t have sold mine.

904VT · 27 March 2018, 08:02 AM

A few years back, Rolex released the DJ41 at Baselworld with just several dial/color combo options. Then later during the year added additional variations. This year just SS BLRO and new Everose and TT ER at Basel. New BLNR and LN midyear?

drmizzou · 27 March 2018, 08:42 AM

Interesting information! Thanks for sharing. Should drum up the rumor mills!

It would be logical to keep the BLNR and upgrade the movement.....but Rolex is not always logical LOL

It is a rather great looking model and good seller....why would you stop selling something that is flying off the shelves, just to release another model (SS Pepsi) to likely do the same.....

faz · 27 March 2018, 08:52 AM

Thanks for posting the pics. Looking forward to seeing what missing BLNR/LN from list means.
