Kid, you need to get your priorities straight. First you offer a stranger 3K over retail and anger at the AD. Then you bot an LN for the wrong reasons. Now you are undecided on a BLNR. What is wrong with you man ?

Your Rolex wishy washy is going to end up costing you thousands. Buy what you LOVE, forget about anything else.

How about invest the money you would lose and go after another watch in the future? The LN is a great watch and Ineould wear it in good health.

Well, clearly you need to own the hottest, hardest to get Rolexes, so of course you need to use whatever means necessary, including taking a big loss on your LN in order to obtain the BLNR, the SubLVC, the GMT PepC, and the Daytona 500. Oh, and maybe the SkyD SS with blue dial.

Quick decisions aren't favourable in the watch game. Most of us here spend an inordinate amount of time humming and ahhing. Enjoy the watch and forget the bit of blue you didn't get.

Alf61 what is wrong with me is I really like to change watches just like I do cars. Believe it or not I run a very successful construction business. Take care of my wife and 3 kids. So I do not appreciate you telling me to get my priorities straight. If you don’t think it’s a good idea fine I respect that. Don’t try to act like my father. I have one of those and he is Avery good one

If you read my post I said I was going to keep the watch and just wait until I get a call about the other one retail. To the other responded above I do not like the stainless sD. I think it is an ugly watch. Love the 2 tone black face which I have. I do not like Daytona’s either. My wife happens to like one

The last time I check indecisiveness is not a crime and does not mean I need my priorities straight. For a 39 year old my priorities are more than straight. I’m new to the forum I am learning. I even admitted in other post maybe that was a d bag move. So once again please do not tell me to get my priorities straight again. Maybe you need to get yours straight sir. I am new to being involved in the watch game. I enjoy Watches and have been collecting for a bit but not on any forums

After the hulk nothing. Some rubber watch bands and that is it. Chill for a bit. Just enjoy and relax. Wait to see if anything cool comes out next year.

They are both great looking watches. I personally prefer the LN just a little more than I do the BLNR. My advice would be to get what makes you happy. If your happiness is worth the difference in cost, then I'd call it money well spent.

Do what makes you happy.
If you don’t, it’ll always niggle you.

Hi Danny, UK buyers will very willingly offer you above retail for a new unworn 116710LN or any other professional stainless steel model. Sell the watch over here and make a holiday out of it. It's a get what you can situation over here and in Europe. lol

UK buyers can try their luck in Tenerife. I put a deposit and got my BLNR one month later

Congratulations. That is a nice watch that you purchased. I really like the black GMT. I would wait awhile on the Batman. Life is good. Enjoy your new GMT.

You have started 25 threads since you joined TRF about ten days ago, and asked moderators to close two or three of them after they didn't go your way. I suggest you slow down with the new threads.
