It's also being discussed here https://omegaforums.net/threads/bla...-new-blancpain-release-on-7-july-2020.116371/

Supposedly sale is exclusive to the BP USA boutiques, of which there are only two (NYC and Las Vegas). I got an email on Tuesday from the one in Las Vegas asking me if I was interested in the watch.

That would imply that each store would get 25 pieces. I have a feeling these will be available for those interested and perhaps we’ll see one or two pop up on jomashop

I will be surprised if these actually make the display case, something this limited is usually bought by collectors who hide them in their safes.
Look at the Barakuda, you do not see them often and they usually go for about 75% over what retail was.

Maybe, although it might depend more on sale volumes at each boutique (NYC one is massive, LV one is tiny), or more likely how much interest each one gets from prospective buyers. I got the email from LV because I bought my Villeret there in 2018, although somewhat ironically I live in NYC. Anyway, I’m not interested in it myself.

Asking prices and achieved prices will vary. The most recent listing is from 26 days ago for BNIB on TRF. They’re asking $18,000 but it appears to be unsold. The rest hover around $15,000 which isn’t much more over the original retail price

Yeah, I saw those after I posted. Thanks for correcting me!
Looks like prices have come down a lot on them since I last looked.
If I can ever find one around 12K I may pick one up! It wears MUCH better on a 7 in wrist than the 45 mm one, I had the 45 mm for a while and it was just silly on me.
If Im going to spend 15K that is not much cheaper than what I have seen a couple of the originals go for and I always have my eyes open for a nice clean original.. Still kicking myself for not buying the one Bain had a while back!!!
