Think the 127 and the 422 just to name one. Your seller is more than likely not going to budge on the price of the LE piece and may charge you a premium over retail. Good luck when it comes time to sell or flip the watch because the crowd will be chasing something else. You should be able to get a nice discount on the 422 and with some of the money you save you can pick up some nice straps and still not be close to what you would have in the LE piece. I would get the 422 now. Wear it, enjoy it.
This is also worth keeping in mind It doesn't bother me because I'm not a flipper but if OP might consider flipping somewhere down the road then the 422 might be a safer option
