I'm in a somewhat similar place deciding between BLNR and 116710 black bezel GMT Master II. I can get a gently used 116710 for $2K less than the BLNR. It will be my 1st and likely only Rolex for a long time. To afford the BLNR I will need to delay purchase for several more months... and since there is little discount on the BLNR and few being resold, I likely would just spend the extra $500 or so in taxes and get through the local AD. I'm torn about spending an extra $2500 to get half a blue bezel and blue GMT arm (and associated benefits from a local AD purchase). It makes little logical sense but if I keep this watch for decades... an heirloom, will I always regret I did not wait the extra few months to afford the BLNR?
