Should I do this trade? 126613+126600 for a Pepsi

Morning all!!

I've been wanting a Pepsi for a few years now with no calls from my AD.

A trusted forum dealer offered me an unworn 126710BLRO for my 126613LB and 126600.

Should I? I can only wear one watch at a time, though I love my blusey.

Of course up to you OP but personally I wouldn't
2 lovely watches you're thinking of trading. I guess it depends what others you have that may do a similar job

I have a 126710BLRO and adore the watch…but I wouldn’t trade the pieces you mention for it. Yours will come at your AD eventually. Best of luck :)

Mine took about 2.5 years at my AD.

You'd be giving up way too much.
Keep the LB and trade the 126600 + cash for the BLRO. Perfect pair.

Not a fair trade at all IMO. I’d keep one of the divers and add cash for the BLRO. A diver/GMT is a great duo

Nope. I’ve had the ceramic Pepsi. It’s not worth 2 for 1 trade. You’ve got 2 nice watches. Wait until you can add it. Or trade one plus cash.

Pepsi is high teens. Your watches are mid teens, each. You’re “paying way too much”.


Just another WIS who loves to trade.

Not a fair trade. Way too much into the BLRO for the two you are trading. You should get 3-5K back.

I own all 3 pieces and there is no way in hell I would give up a bluesy and an SD43 for the Pepsi. While I enjoy my Pepsi, I actually prefer the BLNR. Will be curious to see what you decide.

So you do like the BLNR more than the BLRO? I have been wanting to add a 124060 back, but felt it was to close to the BLNR so was thinking of exchanging at my AD for the BLRO. Also have the 12LV.

Never, EVER trade a watch you love.

At the price point Pepsi's are going nowadays, just buy one. Or, worst case, scenario, trade the other watch for it.

I recently made a trade

16700 + 126300 for new old stock BLRO.

I wouldnt make the trade if I am you. I would do 126600 + cash for pepsi. However dealer dont make much for SD now which is sad.

I have a Pepsi and love it. But, I'd trade it to get those two watches in a heartbeat. However, if I owned those two watches, I would not make that trade. Though I'm assuming full sets, I still wouldn't do it for less than complete sets. Monetarily, you're giving up a lot for a Pepsi, at least at current transaction levels. You can see this quickly on eBay and C24, as a ballpark reference point. But, if the BLRO is your end all, be all, then by all means...

Absolutely not can’t believe you had to ask. You’d be better off selling the two and buying the blro with cash left in your pocket.

I'll join the crowd and say it would be a very poor trade. Prices on the GMT's have come down a little bit and perhaps will continue. Keep what you have and wait until the time is right to move on the Pepsi. That's my plan.

I would totally add a Pepsi to my Bluesy and SD43, but replace them with the BLRO? Never. That would be a whole new level of FOMO.
