Trade GMT master 2 rootbeer for Pepsi?

[mikeps2006]

All about preference but I like the two tone better. Oyster over jubilee for me anyday.

And the latter actually contains PM of material worth, not just a load of hype.

And it would cost you $5k over retail? That sounds insane.

This.
But unfortunately, you’re not going to be able to do that trade without putting money in on top of the CHNR.
BLRO is an amazing piece. Spending this kind of money on a watch, you should always get what you really want.

Not a cent over MSRSP plux tax so...... NO!

Never paid more than MSRP. I can be convinced if its 5-8% over the MSRP if taxes are included.

Speaking for the numbers only, if they work out in your favor, yes.

Keep in mind that a grey is going to give you wholesale for the watch you trade and want retail for the watch you buy. You would definitely have to put cash into this deal. I would rather just enjoy the root beer.

i think the GMT rootbeer is selling at a lower price than the pepsi -- so i think you'd need to kick in some cash to make this trade happen

Thanks all. Will keep the rootbeer.

The topic can be closed (if possible?).

This is the only trade I’d make in your shoes. Go TT plus cash for full RG. Pepsi is very nice but a bit too hyped at current prices imo

Never in a thousand years. I love the CHNR and think with looks, class, and versatility it is far superior to the BLRO. Not to mention rose gold and stainless versus just stainless.

I was offered one by an AD that I have no purchase history with and was on no waiting list. We met last year and exchanged cell #'s. Got a text this past April with many 2-tone sports available. I had to pass. I'm pretty sure I was way down the list of contacts. April was during the height of the lockdown here in NY.

Tough decision! I would keep the Pepsi and add the rootbeer.

why not just buy the pepsi if that's what you want? Are you trying to build up AD cred?

I have to imagine there are so many cheaper ways to go about it.
