If you can go either way base on look, I would go with the one that's been discontinued :)

Its likely to be rarer because they are not making them any more.

I have no plans on selling the watch anytime soon, nor do I view it as an "investment," but I'm curious if you guys think the non lume version may one day be sought as a rarer collectable piece? or will it be like some of the transitional references that don't really see a premium?

I know I don't have a bad choice here, just curious others thoughts on the matter.

Thanks!

Just got mine today (first Rolex!!!) and went with all lume. The balanced look of lume filled #s did it for me ... along with not being able to unsee the short hands. In person, it still has quite a bit of presence reflecting light, but still flies under the radar.
