Fun AD visit/Passed up a good GMT deal

[Brushpup]

While on a road trip this weekend I stopped into an AD to do some looking. The very attractive and friendly Blonde that waited on me and my dad made for a most excellent experience. I tried on a "pepsi" GMT although I haven't really had this watch on my radar screen. I am now intrigued with the GMT, but I am just not wild about the red/blue bezel. In any case, we asked about a "deal" and she came back with an offer of 4950.00 out the door which I thought was pretty good. I really think though that if I offered 4800, they would have taken it. It's a bit of a dilemma, but I know I prefer the newer one with the black bezel which they did not have. I just hate to think what it will cost versus this one, but I can't pay 5K for something I am not floored with you know? Until this point I really thought I would have to have a Sub, but the GMT knocked me for one hell of a loop out of nowhere. Also got to see a LV Sub, but just can't handle the green. Dad loved it though....

So a couple of questions if you don't mind.....

Can someone tell me what the new steel/black GMT is running, and can it be had before the increase? The target for my first Rolex purchase has been about 16 months out from now, but I can't stand it anymore........something new will be on my wrist soon I am afraid, but it must be the "perfect" choice.

If I were to get the red blue, how difficult is it to have a Rolex red/black insert put in and at what cost out of curiosity? I don’t mind the money to be happy, but don't know anything about insert replacements. Are these readily available? I am confident that I would like the red/black combo however. and am considering this as an option. I am sure If I called them back I could get the same deal.

Would sure appreciate your feedback everyone,
