I wouldn't do the deal. I'd wait for an AD to come through.

My ExII has the 3186 and required an out of cycle service to fix a known movement issue. I don't see it as superior.

FWIW, I didn’t notice a difference in fit at all. Is the case slimmer on the 126710 vs. 116710?

I love my BLNR but the BLRO is really nice especially with the new darker bezel colors compared to the MK1. I know some will say just go with what you like but it's tough. I really like both and I only want one GMT in the collection.

Thoughts?

I made this exact trade a 3 years ago, give or take a couple grand.

Love the BLRO and am very glad I did.

I would never never never ever make that deal.

The BLNR is superior in my opinion. I’d keep it and try to get the BLRO from an AD

It’s a no brainer. Do it. 126710BLRO values are flying just now👍 Your friend will probably sell the BLNR at no risk of damaging his AD relationship. He’ll be busted though if you sell the BLRO😂

I second this! Plus the BLNR is easier to wear everyday

Pepsi on oyster all the way.

Is anyone else surprised at how split the results are? Maybe it's just me. I thought it would be more favorable towards the BLRO.

I dont think the bezel color is worth $5k more but hey what do I know... maybe it is. I think money-wise its pretty easy just check out david SW and see the spread between BLNR and BLRO. If its less than $5k you are probably over-paying. Whether you care about that is a different story.
