GMT Question (Pepsi vs. Rootbeer)

[Mkeefe02]

Hi - I am currently considering upgrading my SS oyster Pepsi to a full Everrose Rootbeer. Of note, this would be my only Rolex timepiece if I make the upgrade. Alternatively, I could buy another stainless piece to diversify from the Pepsi and have two pieces to wear.

Curious to hear what the group thinks and if anyone has a PM as their only watch. Thanks.

Buy another stainless steel. Better variety, solid investments, and more options.

[CarlOver]

Have you considered the TT CHNR?

[Mkeefe02]

Yes - great watch. Would probably diversify models and go for a Daytona if I keep the Pepsi. The TT is awesome though.

[aldabear1]

I personally love both the TT and full rose gold. Can’t afford the full rose gold yet. If you love your Pepsi, then like others said, TT is a great addition. If not, then just roll up to ever rose!

Welcome to the forum

I’d add a diver.

2nd watch better option

I don’t view any watch as a traditional investment but it does seem like SS holds value better than PM?

+1.

Hard to view as investments unless you are major player in watch world and get access to unobtainable watches.

Keep the Pepsi. Add a second piece.
If you go for the Rootbeer, check the TT.
I think it’s visually more appealing.

I prefer the visual balance and weight of the TT CHNR, but each to their own.

I think the TT CHNR and the SS BLRO make a great paring. There is enough of a difference to make it not seem like duplication.

Diversify, but I like a collection, big or small. I think I'd tire of just one watch. Actually, I know I would. YMMV.

[JRell]

Less of two evils for me, I would go root beer over the Pepsi, TT or full PM.

[Mkeefe02]

Thanks, the full everrose Rootbeer?

[Blanch]

Welcome to TRF.
Have you had your Pepsi a long time? Do you have fond memories with it? Anything special about it to you?

If Yes, you may want to consider keeping your Pepsi and adding the Rootbeer.

[Kenny G]

Great advice already given in suggesting the TT root beer.

I love the full rose root beer but as a one and done I wouldn’t do it.

I’d either keep the Pepsi and add the TT root beer or better yet…sell the Pepsi, and add a TT root beer and a sub

I wouldn’t want 2 GMTs but that’s just personal preference…

[MelADC]

I would not have PM as my only watch but if your lifestyle is not too hard on watches, I could see it as a viable option.

[Stan Cooper]

Personally, I'm not a fan of either two-tone or gold sport watches and would keep the SS Pepsi. However, if PM floats your boat and you like the rootbeer colors, go for it.

[Grim Reaper]

THE Pepsi is very versatile

[Potawatomi]

15CHNR is my go to Rolex. I got tired of wearing a Stainless Oyster like everyone else and I said I wanted to be different.

[David5807]

Do it. The full RG Rootbeer is incredible.[IMG][/IMG]

[danwang0520]

more watch, the merrier......

[2loaded]

Difficult decision. PM is where it's at. If finance requires it to be an only watch sobeit.
Add back the Pepsi or a new Sub down the road.

[SS Oyster]

Both are terrific options, but if it were me, I'd keep the BLRO SS and get another SS reference ... like Daytona, Submariner, Explorer II or SkyD.

[Jean Farren]

The gold just wears differently because of its softness

[travisb]

The BLRO is my favorite GMT, so I'd add.

[1William]

For me the two is better than one with the RG GMT and SS Pepsi discussion. I would pick up a SS Rolex Diver, Submariner ND, and the BLRO and have a really nice two watch collection. I have been down the PM rabbit hole and still have a YG Sky-Dweller but my SS models get 99% of the wear.

[roadie1]

The full rose chnr is a sweet watch for sure! However I don’t think you would want to wear it everyday. I’d get the tt plus a stainless. Or better yet get the full rose and a stainless. Or….if your like me and can’t decide, get both the tt and full rose!:)
