Black and BLNR GMT - co-exist?
Just wondering if anyone already have or plan to own both the all-black GMTc and the new Blue/Black as well? Too similar, or?

I'd sell my black for the blue rather than keep both.

Hey Vek, thats a pretty sweet trio that I can somewhat dream of - can we have a shot of all 3 in one photo?
Are you planning to sell any of them? or perhaps get even more GMTs? I see a 116718 in your future, or maybe go 4 or 5 figures? ;-) :-) thanks |

Either one of the ceramics, too similar for both....unless you have a completely disposable $8-9k laying around with nothing at all you seem to like.
In some pics you can hardly tell it's a BLNR, but you know, whatever makes you happy. ^referring to ss. |

Some like having different variations of the same model, some like more variety, not quite sure but I bet there will be some that have both and when the ceramic coke version comes along these guys will add it to the stable to have a nice trio.

If I had more money to spend on watches, then I would say no. But based on what I have and how long it takes me to save for a new watch, I say yes too similar.

If money were no object, maybe....for me, nah too similar.
I actually got a call from my AD to try one and didn't pick it up, £5950 vs £4000 for a good condition used black bezel seemed crazy. |

I'm planning to have both. Already have the 116710LN and just have ordered the new 116710BLNR...
Very similar, but I love the blue and this new one really caught my eye when I saw it in Baselworld earlier this year.

I have the black and plan on buying the black and blue also. Whatever color combination they throw out there in steel and I'll add it :)

I wouldn't want both in SS.
Two different metals I would do (116718 + BLNR) |

The new black/blue is the only "c" model I'm drawn to.

I have the black and I really like the blue, but just too similar for me. If I had to choose one it would certainly be the black. Love the GMTc.
