Buy a GMT Master 2 black bezel now, or wait for pepsi?

[brucethemanlee]

wait for what you want however be prepared to wait long

assuming you can get on a list your wait times can be up to
1 year BLNR
3-5 years BLRO

The better the relationship the better those wait times will be

if you don't have solid relationship with AD...BLNR may take longer but will come eventually but the BLRO may be never (because will you still want it after waiting more than 5 years?)

Agree with this if OP is truly content with getting an LN, even if he still has dreams of a BLNR or BLRO someday.

To me, that's a stupid long time for a mass produced stainless steel watch when life is really short.

I'd either buy grey marker here or get the LN as stated above, sell it in 1-3 years when or IF you get a BLNR/BLRO.

good luck

I agree. Go grey or buy the LN. Either way get something now and enjoy it.

Thanks again everyone for your diverse opinions and suggestions.
I think I'll end up buying it, and ask at the same time to be put on a waiting list for the others.
It would be for daily use, so it would most likely be more suitable than its colorful cousins.

Would only buy what you want. Buying because it builds up 'relationships' is not a good idea. By all means send all your purchases one way but only buy it if you want it. If you are really after Batman or Pepsi then wait for them - just might be a long wait that is all. You are correct though that if you buy this and then ask for Batman or Pepsi you will get pushed a bit higher on the waiting list....

Get the LN, take really good care of it, and if time comes you have an opportunity for the BLNR or the BLRO you should get almost all your money back to move up

Hi all,

To be honest, I dreamt about the watch. That was a clear sign.
I'm back from the AD
Love it

Congrats!

[Hkspwrsche]

Funny thing is this was all solved by the old model. Simply switch bezels!

[SkyJuice]

I get the LN because its all black and easier to match suits.

[miatang]

I would definately buy it. I live in the UK and waiting times, well there just isnt any time schedule put on the BLNR or BLRO. My name is down at 3 different ADs and non of them were willing to give me a rough wait time.

Plus buying it will make you a customer of the AD and might help you further up the list if they do come available.

Good for you! It's a great watch. It will serve you well. You can always get more "stuff" in the future, but having a beautiful watch to use today is worth something.

Here are the pictures I took so far

I know that the wait is hard but don't settle, oops, too late. Well congrats on the great piece.

[DtownRRS]

Looks great! Congrats!

[Speed]

You made the right decision.

Enjoy the heck out of that watch. So versatile.

If by some chance in the future - if ever - you get offered the other watches, you may not be interested.

Congrats on the LN! Looks perfect!

[vintageguy]

always wait for a Pepsi, especially a 5 digit model.

[klenboy]

A wonderful timepiece! Congratulations! I really like how subtle the LN is!

[Colin G]

The LN is pretty sweet. Nice pick up.

[RFBHD]

once you go black you never go back..... good move

[bonovox]

You made a good choice. Enjoy!

5 digit can be any color you want! No wait!

I think he made the right choice for now. Brand new LN looks great. It really is more versatile. I recall when the ceramic came out people wondered if it might over take the sub with its trip lock crown and extra functionality.

Perhaps you could purchase a 116710LN and wait for a new 126710BLRO if you don't mind selling the LN later on to keep your hobby funded? I have both the LN and BLNR, and I will tell you, only the BLNR gets wrist time; however, it is so hard to get myself to sell the LN because it is a GREAT watch. Nothing wrong with a GMT collection, right?!?!?

[capital]

I have another problem now: i don't dare to wear it because I'm afraid of scratches... I guess it will pass with time.
