cant believe i am actually able to ask this but...

used 116619 smurf for $23k.

new ss blro 126710 for $22k.

presuming you can't get the blro at retail.

indy16zo6 · 28 June 2018, 07:34 AM

Tough one. Love both but I’d probably go with the smurf. It truly is a one of a kind and with the blro being so inflated, I’d go for the pm piece.

I'd get the PM for sure, altho the BLRO WG would be tops for me.

Tampashooter · 28 June 2018, 07:37 AM

Yeah, neither.

Sorry.

Ravager135 · 28 June 2018, 07:37 AM

116619LB all day. If you are going to spend 20k+ on a Rolex, you should walk away with precious metal. I like the BLRO. I am not even hating on the grey market prices. But at the end of the day, it's not worth paying double the MSRP now for stainless steel unless you absolutely have to have the piece. Since you're asking a "this or that" question, I am assuming to don't have to have it.

scottwmitch · 28 June 2018, 07:37 AM

Are you getting caught up in the hype and chase of the Pepsi or is $13K markup worth the utility cost for you? I'm not a fan of looking at these decisions in terms of MSRP for a watch. With that said, $13k over list for an SS watch is A LOT. Both watches are beautiful. And guess what...both are priced at market value! Do whatever makes you happy.

Watchflair · 28 June 2018, 07:38 AM

Smurf

FTX I · 28 June 2018, 07:39 AM

Something else.

Toony · 28 June 2018, 07:39 AM

Not even a contest. 116619LB.

supersam80 · 28 June 2018, 07:43 AM

WG Pepsi. Then smurf

Etschell · 28 June 2018, 07:52 AM

well the wg pepsi is only 4k more.

X2. That’d be my thoughts as well. Until Rolex themselves, prices their SS > than 18K.....I’m buying PM for that $$$

Innocenti · 28 June 2018, 07:55 AM

Rolex don't make a watch i like enough to pay a penny over retail price for.

Hard_Six · 28 June 2018, 07:55 AM

I'd for sure get something else but if I had to choose between these two (at those prices), I'd go PM.

Uppersouth · 28 June 2018, 08:18 AM

Five more grand and get yourself the WG BLRO.

henry333 · 28 June 2018, 08:19 AM

Pm sub for sure... Pepsi once the heat cools it will be retail or close to..
Pm sub it already at the low end not high end like the Pepsi

Chadridv · 28 June 2018, 08:28 AM

116619, no question.

That said, I’d rather have the new BLRO at MSRP and either save the rest of the money or put it towards another watch. Ok, fine, obviously put it towards another watch lol

lapince · 28 June 2018, 08:30 AM

If you want a BLRO get the WG for this price plus some, getting the SS at 22k is crazy

Dompropat · 28 June 2018, 08:34 AM

116619LB. Easy.

Nikrnic · 28 June 2018, 08:34 AM

I'd go Smurf, way more value to me.
I'd feel ripped off paying that for the SS Blro, might as well spring for WG.

Neither for me, but if I had to pick between the two it’d be the smurf. No way I’m paying that type of premium on a watch.

Well said. 116619. And so true on “save the rest...”

LOL

Oh, the Smurf definitely. I actually like it more than the SS BLRO. Where does the SS BLRO madness end as I've heard mention of $25k! I'll take WG over SS any day, especially when the price differential is so small. My 2 cents. Cheers!

Art 1 · 28 June 2018, 09:23 AM

Sub. Easily.

Iron swan · 28 June 2018, 09:38 AM

I'd choose neither.

Between those 2 watches... If i stand on one leg, close one eye & tilt my head at the right angle... I can kind of see the BLNR being the perfect love child of the 2 of them (and for a lot less money).
GMT Movement/function: check
SS: check
Splash of blue: check
40mm size: check
Option to swap bracelets: check

Just a thought.

I am fortunate enough to be able to enjoy both. WG BLRO is my favorite but the Smurf is wonderful too! I can’t bring myself to sell either one... for what the SS is bringing, I could not possibly buy SS over a pre-owned WG BLRO.

Overlook the "must have" BS and wait about 2-3 years. Market saturates, prices drop.
