I owned a ceramic bluesy. It was too flashy for my tastes and I parted with it. I now own a 126710blro to compliment my 16710 and sub41c. The BLROc gets all of the wrist time. My 12-yr-old said it’s his fav and to never sell it. He’s seen a lot of watches come and go from the collection over the years.
The muted colors and the pcls give it just the right amount of pop for me. Since you already have a DD and a blue OP, I say Pepsi |

Bluesy is a beauty but too flashy for my taste so will choose the BLRO.

Definitely another vote for the Bluesy a stunning watch, but as so many people on here say get what your heart tells you.

I love my 11 series Bluesy. It's not a daily for me but it is a stunner and not as gaudy as some photos suggest. It's an easy decision for me - BLRO on Jubilee is all the watch I could ever need for comfort, utility and aesthetic. You do you. If you have to ask, maybe you'll end up with both or neither.

So much love for the 13LB!
Think I’ve got to give it to the BLRO, as much as the Submariner grows on me. |

GMT > Sub 99.99% of the time in my opinion and usage case between them. With that being said either are fine choices and you'll be happy whichever route you go.

Since I already own a VTNR and BLNR, my vote would be Bluesy.

I owned the bluesy for 18 years as my daily and it will always be special to me, but I traded it a couple of years ago-primarily because the 11 series felt dated to me (small lumes).
Although I do own the Pepsi on Jubilee, try to look past the hype and get the one you’re drawn too… |

Depending on the metal of your DD, I actually think the bluesy might be a better fit.

I own both and nothing says wow out of the two like a Bluesy.
Don’t get me wrong, the BLRO is awesome but the Bluesy with that dial and touch of gold just pops.

I owned both: I boils down to color. Do you like the hue of the ceramic Pepsi?? Start there as the Bluesy colors are spot on and unchanged for decades. The Bluesy is a showier model. It screams across the room. The Pepsi on jubilee will be more comfortable and hide daily scratches far better than the pcl of the Bluesy.
