The blue-over-red model (the "B", "too-bad-for-you" model) is available to those not fortunate enough to score a 16710A or for those whose work uniform includes size 42 shoes, an orange wig and red rubber nose. They are also popular with Mott the Hoople fans and people who believe mullet haircuts represent the pinnacle of male coiffure.

Clearly, waiting 54 years to acquire your first Rolex has allowed you time to develop the necessary level of class to make the best choice, first.

Good job. :D
