Which one do I let go off?

Hi guys, new on the forums.

I currently have a Hulk & a Batman, both bought brand new.
My AD called today and said my 2018 pepsi GMT is here and ready for pickup.

My question is, which one of the two I own currently do I let go for the pepsi?

Wish I can keep all 3 but would be difficult.

Batman - what's the point of two GMT's rather than one GMT and one Sub?

If it's that difficult to afford all three then perhaps you should sell two and get down to one.

Financial advice from random strangers on the Internet is always an interesting proposal.

Get rid of the BLNR. It would be easier to get than a BLRO in this current environment.

I would either trade the BLNR for the Pepsi-only if you have to part with one. No need for two GMTs in my opinion.

I would try to add the Pepsi though.

I am with the general consensus, GMT for GMT.

I sell the BLNR. For the foreseeable future, I believe it can be replaced more easily than a LVc or new GMT.

Sell BLNR, Keep Hulk.

Better off to have a GMT and Sub instead of 2 GMTs

You really don't want to let either one go, trust me.

Add the BLRO and do your best to keep all three. If, however, it's just not possible, then I would let the BLNR go.

Why are many members here saying sell the batman? Prices will drop? No resale value in the future?

Do you really like the BLRO over the BLNR? Ask yourself if you didn't have either, and both were available in a display case, which would you choose. Don't let availability, exclusivity dictate what watch you like.

Most are saying it because the BLNR is easier to obtain, should you make the trade and want to add the BLNR back later.
Some are saying it because the BLRO is the flavor of the month that they would sell a kidney to buy. If the exclusivity of both watches were reversed, and the BLNR was the new, harder to obtain watch, they would be telling you to hold onto that BLNR for dear life.
