Funny you say that, I used to think the same way about Rolex so I picked up an AP RG44, ROO black dial and a 15400 months ago and moved them all, picked up a Duometre Lunaire which I still own, and a 5712/1A, 5130P, and a 5167, from my Patek collection only my 5712 remains.

If you are collecting timepieces by what other folks have on their wrist then it may be time to consider picking up some semi independent brands like FP Journe... Believe it or not I see more AP's in the wild than Rolex timepieces.

Now to answer the OP's question, I own the BLNR wore it twice and I'm already bored of it, on the other hand my 718 still excites me to this day after 3 years of ownership!
