Wouldn't think about that amount of cash,,,

Which watch are you going to enjoy wearing for many years...?

10 years,,???

1170 dollars divided by 10
See what I mean..maybe I'm wrong

They are both beautiful watches by the way

Very true. That amount of money means nothing in Rolex world. What watch is really your personality??

Sigh...what would've been had Rolex simply added the 3235 and redline to this model.

Congrats on a classic!

You made a great choice. Although there is tons of love for the BLNR, it is still available and you could get another later. The SD4k having now been discontinued will be harder (more expensive) to get as the years go by.
Great choice! I love my SD4k but I also own the GMTIIC in black and wouldn't part with either

Big congrats! I love mine, going on two years now! I lost the desire to flip after purchasing the SD4K. If you put it on that strap, be sure to show pics!

I'd do it, only because I'm not a huge fan of the Bat.

Great choice!

I much prefer the SDC to the BLNR. Absolutely I would.
