I wouldn't pay over list for a BLNR. I'd pick the VC in this case.

The VC. A more interesting watch for the money.

I like the BLNR better, but at list price would go VC. BLNR at retail wins.

Nothing beats the ruggedness of the Rolex. But wouldn't pay over retail for a BLNR.

VC hands down. One of the coolest watches ever. Rolex GMT would need to be vintage for me. Not interested in the modern ones.

Can you explain this one to me? I get that it's from one of the holy trinity, but i don't see it. It's a great looking watch, but is time/date with a display back. It has good fit/finish, but not lange / patek. It has a good design, but is larger than it needs to be. It has a unique color scheme, but nothing out of this world.

Genuinely curious....what makes it one of the coolest watches ever?

I thought VC Overseas 4500V is very popular around the world, especially in blue is very hard to find at the boutique.

Both GMT Master and VC Overseas are price higher in secondary market.

At MSRP, you can get 2 GMT for one VC Overseas, even at the grey market, VC Overseas is still more expensive than BLNR.

No matter what the price is, you should go for the one that you love to wear the most.
