Help me to decide between BLNR vs Grand Carrera C.36 vs speedy vs smp bond

[Rizusnophere]

hello to all , after long title you will probably ask yourself #alternatives on title have no relation,how can they be in same sentence?

Let me explain briefly,sorry for my bad english, english is not my native language still practicing hard for toefl ibt exam.


I have PAM 292 J series , Omega Planet Ocean XL 8500 cal. , Breitling Superocean 42mm .As you can see on list I have weird choices.

After selling my unnecessary macbook pro and virtual goods I have nearly 4000 USD money for a new watch.



1st alternative is Omega Seamaster bond ref 2222.80.00 from my friend,has no papers 3 year old but perfect condition 3-4 times worn like new.It has 2500 semi in house (2892 based 2500 cal) calibre and cost me 1500 usd

2nd alternative is non used 3570.50.00 standard omega moonwatch with papers 2000 model but not used safe queen(literally not used belongs to a watch collector) cost me 2000 usd


3rd alternative is CAV 5185 Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 36 RS dlc model with rubber strap,mint condition with some little scratches on outer bezel , papers ,warranty full set , cost me 2700 usd


4th alternative is GMT BLNR after tax return and some discounts it cost me about 6500 usd new



Actually I like all the designs and my only concern is resale value.After 3-4 years rolex will surely conserves its value probably speedy too but can we say same thing for tag and smp bond?Cal.36 doesnt show too much in second hand market in my country(in ebay too) , I can take it for quarter of RRP but will I sell easy in future? (for ex. 2500 usd net in ebay)


For extra info, in two months i will start my PPL course so I will be a airline pilot hopefully (I studied engineering in university , graduated ) , and have probably more funds after 2 years for GMT BLNR as a perfect pilot watch. (thanks pan-am hype)

I am really confused guys, need good advices

I would only consider a 'Dark Side of the Moon' from Omega.
Otherwise I would suggest the GMT, you can't go wrong at that price.

BLNR - every single day of the week.

[HL65]

BLNR for sure!

[Cru Jones]

at that price, if you can afford the extra money, BLNR for sure.

I had the BLNR and have a seamaster, I will go against all here and say get the speedy, in Rolex except if you really need the GMT, the sub is much nicer IMO, had the LV and LN, but the best again IMO is the non date, the BLNR is nice but the sub non date is so much nicer...

BLNR, all day long!

First choice-- Rolex, but it's a lot of money. Second, the Speedy. At $2,000, I don't see how you could lose money. My third choice would be the Seamaster, but you already have a couple divers, so maybe save your money.

BLNR. Especially if you can really get it for $6500usd. You will make money if you ever go to sell it used.

[GB-man]

Blnr is a no brainer at 6500 usd. Even if you don't want it, buy it and flip it because you could sell it in 5 minutes for 7500.

SpeedyPro NOS and use the leftover money for a nice trip before your ppl.

PS - I have my ppl and have never had to use the UTC function on a watch.
