Need to let go pepsi or batman

Going to use the cash for another watch. Both have their own charm. I have a small wrist so the vintage pepsi works really well, plus it’s a pepsi. However the batman, being its a modern rolex also has its pesona.

Any recommendations?

Had both these at the same time. Also wanted to move one for a new watch. Kept Pepsi. Very happy with my choice. BLNR is easy to replace if you miss it too much. A 16710 in good condition, harder to replace imo

I would sell the BLNR. You said it yourself, you have a small wrist. Also the Pepsi is going to be more classic and the BLNR is not.

However, it depends on how much money you need and how you treat your watches.

5-digit Pepsi is yesterday classic, 6-digit BLNR will be tomorrow classic. Both are great, but 5-digit will be harder to get and will get even harder. So keep Pepsi will be my choice.

Keep the batman and get rid of the old pepsi ofcourse.
There is no guarantee that the older one will sell in the future, so sell it while you can.

Your 5 digit Pepsi with that bezel is hard to come by. Keep it. Sell the BLNR while the price is still high. It's dropping. Only a matter of time before the hype for the BLNR dies down.

The 5 digit pepsi is evergreen.

What watch you lookin' to get mate?

You are right if COKE comes this spring...But I am not sure if it will come with the Oyster bracelet which is another pain.

I have/had both and let the BLNR go. I still wear the Pepsi and love it. The 16710 attracts more interest from watch dealers than the Batman ever did.

Depends what else you have / are buying. I would want at least 1 6 digit piece in the collection but for me the Pepsi is definitely the nicer watch.

Sell the BLNR and buy it back for 70% of what you get now in the next economic crash. There will be plenty.

As everyone else said... Keep the Pepsi.

I sold my 5 digit Pepsi and ¨upgraded¨ to the 6 digit and find myself recently scrolling through the sale sections actually thinking about selling what I have and going back to the 5 digit.

Keep both and just save up for the other piece. Those two are amazing pieces.
