Don't think so. Had to test the waters, now you know.

Annan · 28 March 2014, 06:31 AM

Gotta go with what sings to you regardless of the $$. Personally, I would not let go of a 116713.

KBM · 28 March 2014, 06:31 AM

Sometimes you need to own a watch and wear it daily for a while to find out it's not for you. Don't regret it, as you wouldn't know it if you hadn't done it, and could otherwise spend a long time wanting something that you ultimately wouldn't like.

Life is too short. Flip back, get the one you like the most and be done with it.

Urosfan · 28 March 2014, 06:34 AM

If you want it back then go for it no use having a peice you no longer sings to you. But i rather have the 116713 myself

Angrypuppy · 28 March 2014, 06:57 AM

I've been contemplating one or the other. Price is close to the same. Makes it a tough choice.

Why are you thinking of switching back?

Recently bought a 116613 new from my AD having thought long and hard about the 116710.

Two months later I decided that two-tone just isn't for me, and flipped it for the 116710.

No regrets.

I love the 116710, but it looks like only a few months in I shall be flipping for the new SD.

Still No Regrets.

Vivalas · 28 March 2014, 07:13 AM

I would. The more I wear my BLNR the more I love it

MortgageGuy · 28 March 2014, 07:23 AM

I would keep the 116713 and just start saving for the 116710blnr

FremStar · 28 March 2014, 07:57 AM

Better to stay off TRF for at least a week! This place will drive you crazy!

Cru Jones · 28 March 2014, 07:59 AM

Mentally, I could just never flip back to a watch I had just flipped from. Too many others out there and you flipped it once for a reason....

swils8610 · 28 March 2014, 10:04 AM

Thought I would really like the TT..... Now not so sure.

I prefer the BLNR, the big gold numbers don't flow so well into an ss case so either YG or SS GMTC for me.

Robb · 28 March 2014, 10:47 AM

Not crazy at all. The BLNR is amazing and I would flip if in your position

lig · 28 March 2014, 10:59 AM

I'd do that in a heartbeat!

kilyung · 28 March 2014, 11:12 AM

Maybe flip to the BLRO?

Im Lauf der Zeit · 28 March 2014, 11:14 AM

Flip back to the BLNR... two-color bezel insert is part of the GMT's DNA and helped make it iconic... Look what a hoopla surrounds return of the BLRO.

Nah, you're fine. This is completely normal behavior.

Flip It !! - I did it and never looked back ...

K7Baixo2 · 28 March 2014, 12:49 PM

They can have my BLNR when they pry it off of my cold, dead wrist.

Or, when it's out of rotation.

Agree

wm5382 · 28 March 2014, 01:10 PM

i think you are crazy indeed
anyway IMHO, one of the best looking two tone rolex is the GMT-C
so enjoy what you have now

elcompa · 28 March 2014, 03:02 PM

Not crazy to go back to the BLNR. Perhaps nuts to have ever flipped it.

Hell, I thought mine was expensive....until the BLRO (PepC) came out. That really changed my perspective on my BLNR. Now I think of it as affordable. LOL!!!!

Ain't comin' off anytime soon.
