2nd watch - GMT LN incoming

A few weeks ago I asked whether to pair my bluesy sub with a LN sub or LN GMT. After some thought and reading the comments, I decided it would be the GMT LN. I waited for Basel to see if there would be an update, when I woke up I was shocked to see it discontinued. But I went to the AD today anyway, and they pulled one out of the shipping box and showed it to me. It was available so I had to grab it!

We make a lot of fuss over the BLNR and BLRO, but that right there is 99% the same watch and a little cleaner visually. Undoubtedly a looker.

Would you have brought it if it wasn't discontinued?

Yes I would have. I was previously looking but wanted to wait for Basel to see if they made any changes to it.

Congrats!!!

What do you guys think the resale value on the LN will be after the discontinuation?

My AD called me today to ask me if I wanted one b/c her client changed their mind and bought a DJ instead. I never dropped my credit card so fast before lol.

Buy because you love the watch, not for the resale. I hope you didn’t join this forum just to ask about that....

Long time lurker.

I should clarify. I own one already and I absolutely love it as the everyday watch.

My intention to buy the new one is so I can replace the current one with the new one and then sell the older one.
