Access to BLNR but want BLRO

So I may have the ability to purchase a BLNR in the next few days, the new BLNR on jubilee, at MSRP.

Thing is, I really only want a Pepsi.

Quandary is what do I do? How easy is it to trade the BLNR for a BLRO? Is there a premium?

I’d probably also trade for a Daytona black dial but probably shouldn’t even mention that as it seems like crazy talk.

Brass tacks - never buy something you don’t ABSOLUTELY want. Period.

If you have good rapport with your AD - they might ‘help’ you out if you pass the BLNR on to the next person that really wants it. Then go from there.

If you don’t have good rapport or any relationship - now is not the time to ‘haggle’.

I agree with RHIII. Don't buy it if you don't want it and your AD will sooner or later get the one you want.

buy it -- then flip it .. and you should have about the right money for a BLRO or close to it.

I agree with the above by not purchasing it. I'd pass and let someone else on the list who really wants it get a chance, but that's just me.

I've learned it's best to never settle, and this goes far beyond watches as well.

Not sure if they go in cycles but seems that the BLRO has been more scarce since the introduction of the new BLNR!

You should at least give it a look. You really never know.

This is advice of extreme value.

There is always some grey area. Does the BLNR help you get closer to the BLRO? If yes then buy it.

Buy it and trade with a grey for a BLRO.
People saying to leave it to the next in line, but there are no guarantees that is even going to a non-flipper, so you may as well do what benefits you!

If the BLRO is the one you are sure you want, then this is your best option
