For those of you who got a BLNR... And then flipped it.

[MTROIS]

Hi everybody,

I have now been avidly following this forum for a few months and I would like to thank you all first for sharing a wealth of knowledge about watches in general and Rolex (and Omega, AP and PP) in particular.

I have been going back and forth A LOT about (finally) getting a GMT Master 2. Since I have not been able to find a super clean 16710 at a reasonable price, I am back with the BLNR.

I find it very appealing visually, will not mind the PCLs etc., but I just wanted to hear from those of you who had gotten one and eventually decided to flip it.

What was it that you did not like about this model.

I really want a GMT watch and am afraid that a PP 5164 is not for me at this very time.

Debating once again to finally pull the trigger on the 116710 (I have one on hold for me)... Or wait a bit more to be sure.

Let me know...

Flipped it to pay for a PP 5164.

I have both the BLNR and 5164a. Both are keepers for me.
