Thats why they have been changing the rules and also the price, a couple of years back they only charged you a couple of $K for a BL model compared to the non BL model. Now the difference if more than 20% for example in the CO the NON BL Plat model is $129.5K and the BL is $158.4K!!!
All BL allocations are approved by FPJ himself.

I was stunned when I found out the BL minute repeater was like 10% more expensive than the sapphire dial. I guess it is harder to paint a dial black than making it in smoked sapphire. [emoji23] Or my other theory is that Mr Journe’s per hour labor cost is high so for him to review the application personally would add some $$$.
