You already have the best BB58, I will buy a Polar Explorer to add some dial options (6-7k second hand).

I have both 58's .They are significantly different .. its not just a different colour bezel is it.

It's too early to say which I prefer tbh. 10% deposit is not a great amount on that watch, so I would do it. However, not all ADs will require a deposit so ring around.

Remember that many people on the list will be on lists elsewhere and have picked up already. I doubt it will be as long as the AD is quoting

I don't think you will loose much on the 58 if you want to move one on. I was lucky and paid £2400 for my OG 58 (used/1 month old) and I'd imagine if I sold now I would get back what I paid, maybe a little more.

Personally, I would be looking at a Tudor BB GMT or a 16570 Exp II Polar.
