Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions! I decided to go with a TT Submariner with blue dial. I tried on the WG and YG versions as well, but ultimately decided to go with the TT version. I love the blue dial and bezel and for me the amount of YG is just enough. Decided to spend less this time and save for a WG next time.

I bought at an AD in Hong Kong, and asked about the new BLRO and was told that there are none in any dealers in all of Hong Kong...they are expecting to get some in October or November.

Plenty of great choices in that range. I would go pre-loved ..DD, Daytona, or save a bit more and go GMTIIC YG. Good luck, the thrill of the chase is half the fun

RG Daytona chocolate dial on a strap. Then flip it for the BLRO in a couple of years. Judging from the price of the Smurf, it should be about 25k or so then.
