Hi All
Is the BLNR as popular in the UK as it seems to be in on the TRF?!
What are your thoughts?

Another vote in favour. Love the look of that watch. Goldsmiths in the Trafford Centre seem to be able to get hold of them fairly regularly.
In London I've only seen them twice in the window. Then again I rarely see submariner date too.
It's amazing what a bit of colour does though! I actually went in and tried it on and was seriously tempted...

I don't think they generally put ss Daytona in the window. However, if you asked for one they could on the off chance have one in the safe or could get one in.
Mappin and Webb Fenchurch St and Old Bond Street were the places I saw them.
The one in Fenchurch Street has been there for a few days if anyone is interested :)
Iconic have one online in stock - no discounts to be had yet but it's only a matter of time...

They pop up quite regularly in the AD in York, but each one doesn't seem to last long before it's gone!
Why bother asking? Who cares how popular it is - unless you're having trouble sourcing one (which doesn't seem the point of the question).
No, I am not having problems sourcing one as I've mentioned I saw one last week in the store.
It was just a topic of conversation as I've been reading TRF a lot recently and that's all they seem to be raving on about. I only recently realised that there was a more generalised forum here and wondered if it was just a regional hype because of that particular forum.
Thanks for the warm welcome and sorry if it caused some offence
Virtually any thread started on here ends up with someone having a go at someone else, I wouldn't worry about it.
I really like the BLNR. I had the original GMT2C, had to sell it (car respray) and then when I came to buy a new Rolex for my 40th I objected to paying £2k more for the same GMT2C than my one had cost in 2008, so I went for the 42mm Explorer 2. The BLNR came out a few months later, I wish I'd known! I think I'll have to consider one in two or three years time, when the interest-free payments on the Exp2 run out. Having said that, I mostly wear vintage watches and don't know if I could sell my 40th birthday present to myself. That's a first world problem right there...
I think its quite popular, its the only Rolex I managed to buy and then sell and get a profit!
My local AD had 2 in stock
