To buy or not to buy -call me crazy

Hey y’all!

Long time since I’ve posted, but this one’s important.
This morning I got a call from the AD I didn’t expect for another 2 years.
A 126710BLRO

This is the crazy part. I’m not sure I should buy it.
It’s beautiful, I love it, my wife loves it. But the thing is, I already have a TT LN..
What do I do

_Jef

Ps. a take out of my chaos of thoughts: “It’s a trap!”, “this is a no-brainer”, “value will plummet soon enough”, “I feel honored to even have this chance”, “yes!yes!yes!no.yes!”, ..

Buy it. It’s a beauty and that’s a keeper.

comically similar situation

Oddly enough, I experienced the same feeling when I was given the exact same call. I had to be corrected by my 14-year-old son. He recognized the significance of the piece before I did. I now own the watch, and consider among my very favorite of the modern examples. Do not let it pass you by.

Buy it, assuming you like it. It's very different than a TT LN.

Buy it. If you change your mind later, you can always sell it. If you don't buy and change your mind later, you can't get it.

If you have to ask, the answer is “no.”

You should already know the answer. You’ve already stated it.

One of the main reasons Rolex should not flood the market. It’s not even happening yet but psychologically if you get one too easily, expecting a longer wait, it creates a doubt, a feeling of guilt, remorse or sobering up.

If I tell you that is the last for the year and there is an upcoming price increase, you’d probably jump at the chance to buy it right away.

It’s a beautiful watch. Buy it. Or I’ll buy it.

Are you seriously asking a watch forum if you should buy a nearly impossible to find,stud of a watch? You must be crazy ��. Go get that thing. As stated above, if you don’t like it that’s easy money coming back.

Easy money on return but I'm gonna be the odd one out here, if you're not sure theres a reason why... The BLRO is not for me, I appreciate its beauty ans value (rare status could mean less to me), but again at the end of the day, your happiness, money and life...

Cheers mate, and beautiful watch.

I think nearly everyone here agrees on two things.
1- I should run to the ad in my slacks without even closing the front door behind me, and buy it
2- Even thinking about this twice is insanity

Buy it if only for the value

How could you not buy this model if offered at MSRP?!?

If you snooze you lose in this game. If you left it behind and then took the time to write this post and wait for responses then don’t be surprised if it’s gone by the time you go back for it!!

I can understand being satisfied with the TT LN. It’s a great timepiece.
