I was in the fortunate enough position a year ago to buy a SS Pepsi new from an AD. Have really enjoyed wearing it since but the rise in value has got me thinking of trading it in as, assuming can pick up for RRP, I should be able to get a sub ND and a SS DJ41 diamond dial for the Pepsi sale proceeds…with probably £1-£2k cash left over. The AD has said they can order the DJ41 and don’t think the sub ND should be too long. Just wondering if others would do the trade.

I would not make this trade. Pepsi is just too difficult to acquire at MSRP.

dpt.calvin · 14 February 2022, 12:17 AM

Two is not always better than one. What do you prefer?

Dini · 14 February 2022, 12:19 AM

Depends on what you prefer out of the 3 watches. If the Pepsi is your favourite then I’d say it’s a bad idea. If you prefer both the Sub and DJ over the Pepsi then it’s a no brainer. Only you’ll know which option would make you happier.

Tim Plains · 14 February 2022, 12:25 AM

I would rather have a BLRO.

rlj676 · 14 February 2022, 12:25 AM

Ignore the hype and this is a great deal. A sub and DJ41 is a great 2 watch collection, if not about as good as it gets.

If you like the Pepsi better though of course don’t!

Mystro · 14 February 2022, 12:28 AM

Just be sure you are done with the BLRO. The trade is great if you really can pull it off which I don’t think can be done for no money added. One could argue the Sub alone is worth the trade.

S’portEye · 14 February 2022, 12:28 AM

Do it. I bought a pepsi last year, didn’t like it, sold it, and bought the new Sub. Never looked back. For me, the 124060 is perfection.

nr1416 · 14 February 2022, 12:51 AM

Never. The Pepsi is so much more of a special watch.

Swegin · 14 February 2022, 01:03 AM

Tough choice but would stay with the Pepsi.

Philadelphialawyer1 · 14 February 2022, 01:09 AM

pull de trigger on this deal.

jed11 · 14 February 2022, 01:10 AM

Would not do this trade. The PEPSI is special.

It will be a very unwise to do that trade .

two 5s are not a 10.

IamJacky · 14 February 2022, 02:37 AM

If you really like the other two then go for it, just know that it will be extremely difficult to get the BLRO back at the same cost if you ever miss it, while the other two are relatively easier to get, because the demand for BLRO is just so much higher.

brandrea · 14 February 2022, 02:55 AM

I personally wouldn’t but it all comes down to personal preference.

I’ve never had a Datejust that stuck

fishingbear · 14 February 2022, 03:51 AM

I personally prefer the GMT but do what makes you happy.

MikePRT · 14 February 2022, 03:54 AM

Thanks for the opinions. If weighing up all 3 in isolation The BLRO would be my favourite, but that’s not to say I don’t like the other two…and in this situation the DJ41 would essentially be a free watch…which has to count for something.

Hmm, decisions decisions.

Not in 1000years! Keep the BLRO!!

Smurf_75 · 14 February 2022, 04:11 AM

Wouldn't trade..... If at all possible, could you get the other watches in addition in the short term? Your AD seems willing to get them to you quickly (maybe he won't if he doesn't get the Pepsi out of you, though). Then perhaps make the call.....

EEpro · 14 February 2022, 04:12 AM

Keep them all.

subprimero · 14 February 2022, 04:16 AM

My advice is the usual; add the Sub and DJ if you can. It would be a fantastic 3 watch collection.

outlaw468 · 14 February 2022, 04:44 AM

I would do this deal. Two great watches.

OrangeSport · 14 February 2022, 04:57 AM

I would do this for sure...

1sttimerolex · 14 February 2022, 05:12 AM

Don't do it if you know you are going to try to get another blro in the future

Stan Cooper · 14 February 2022, 05:13 AM

If you do the trade just thinking about the cash you'd get out of the deal, I'd be willing to bet you will soon experience seller's remorse. Hype aside, the BLRO is very special.

This. Wouldn't touch this trade

Not everyone likes the ceramic BLRO, so yes, of course, do that if you prefer the other 2 watches (sub and datejust). Don't hold the BLRO for silly "investment" purposes.

Masteryacht · 14 February 2022, 06:14 AM

Not a DJ fan and the sub would need a date. So negative.

Laostuh · 14 February 2022, 06:16 AM

I would add, you've already got a hard to acquire piece. Sub ND and DJ shouldn't take too long with patience.
