Hi all

Can anyone point me in the direction of a new 116710 BLNR at list price? Both Iconic and Watchfinder are listing them at £6500 ish. Ideally I'm after one that's in stock somewhere at UK RRP and if it's local to London even better.

A chum of mine who is resident in Singapore is back in the UK in a few weeks and wants to buy here as he can claim back the VAT.

Any help much appreciated!

No idea if he has one however have you tried Dom? Might be worth giving him a shout.

Thanks. I've suggested he contact Dom directly.

Call some AD's outside London. There will be a waiting list at most inside the m25.

I have recently purchased one of these having found it very hard to track one down without paying as you mention a large premium.

When I rang round a few dealers in London it was either a flat no or that the waiting list was stupidly long (I.e well over a year into 1.5/2 years). I'm in Essex and put myself on the list in virtually every Rolex AD I was willing to travel to. Got a call from Mappin & Webb in Cambridge after 4 weeks saying there was one in with my name on it. I was told they had another coming in within the following 4 weeks too so it may be worth trying them? / Put your name down see if anything crops up/people not wanting them anymore or the dealer can't get in touch with them they soon work their way down the list.

Not much help but maybe of some.
