I also like the "under the radar" look of the bb58 (brushed, smaller, less presence etc). The added feature of a glidelock type adjustment on the bb58 is one more step up on an older sub.

That is all to say that I don't buy watches thinking about resale value or investment as I keep and wear them. At this point, I prefer to buy grey as the AD's of the world have completely lost me. It sounds like I should check in 6 months from now and hopefully find a deal then. Thanks for the feedback everyone, much appreciated.
Amen

I feel the same way. I literally don't even bother going to Rolex ADs anymore. If I want a Rolex I go grey.

I think you should keep an eye out for a preowned model. There aren't many out there but I believe you could save a lot of money if you do find one.
