I love my BLNR but the BLRO is really nice especially with the new darker bezel colors compared to the MK1. I know some will say just go with what you like but it's tough. I really like both and I only want one GMT in the collection.

Thoughts?

Basically, you would be taking a $5k haircut on the original price you paid for your BLNR. The newer model IS worth a premium (for the improvements and the Pepsi is valued higher than BLNR) ... but maybe not $5k more. I would think a $3k premium plus your BLNR.

Having said all of that, I personally prefer the BLNR over the BLRO. But I also prefer the new model over the older one — I just am that way, I need the newest.

In your shoes, I would move forward but with $3k cash.
