16710 - does it affect the value if it started out as an LN?

Perhaps a silly question but...

So I bought a black bezel 16710 recently as it was the best condition I could find for the money with the intention of changing it to a BLRO.
All the documentation and tags indicate it's a 16710LN, would this affect it's value if it's not a BLRO from the factory?

It makes about a $3000 difference on the 116710 between the Batman and the LN... so yes it makes a huge difference.

Its a big difference between the ceramic versions where the bezels are not interchangeable. Plus the BLNR has a blue GMT hand vs the LN with a green GMT hand. The three 16710 bezel inserts are easily interchangeable. And the GMT hands are all the same color. If you pay $3000 more for a 16710 just because it has a Pepsi insert then I have an oceanfront property in Kansas that I want to sell you.
