WG Sub but the very smallest of margins. BTW there is no wrong answer here.

I would go with the BLRO for it's newness. To me nothing beats the looks or the wear of a Submariner in any metal. But have some fun and go with a watch that very few of us own or have even seen in person. If it works, great, if not you can always flip it to the Smurf and not get hurt. A nice choice to make.

It's a nice decision to have to make. I'd pick the 619, mainly because of the glidelock clasp. Getting the proper fit, especially on a PM piece is important due to the weight.

I haven't warmed up to the colouring of the bi coloured bezels either.

I like the WG Pepsi but have got fed up with black dialled watches for some reason, so I have picked the WG SubC, love the all blue. I don't like the Sunburst dial either,much prefer the flat blue.

BLRO.

I had it down to both of these and it took me awhile to pick one out.
In the end, I went with the BLRO, I could spout off a number of reasons why I picked it over the smurf, but really... I just liked it more, it sang to me.

BLRO for me as I cannot endorse a sub with pcls and am finally giving up on the sub case with its grotesque lugs

Smurf is the only watch I would choose over the Pepsi. 99.9% of the time Pepsi wins over all other rolex watches (in my opinion).

I chose BLRO both for the poll and my collection. The GMT function is valuable to me and personally I find the watch much more wearable for business (personal choice). Some pics of mine...

They're both beautiful, tough decision but I think BLRO just because it's more of a unique look. Might be biased because I think the Sub looks best in black

They are both so nice.

No wrong answer. I'm leaning towards the smurf.

Both are great. I own and prefer the Smurf by a slight margin. Why?

1) I like Subs better than GMTs.
2) The Smurf is slightly more unique - no other Sub looks like it.
3) One color blue is more simple and elegant than a 3-color watch.
4) I think the Smurf works best for business with suits - the Pepsi is more sporty and pop-smart (in a positive sense).
5) The clasp micro-adjustment is better.

That being said I have thought about buying the Pepsi for a long time - but have refrained because it is so close to the Smurf. In my last purchase a few weeks ago, the contenders were the BLRO and the 116655 - and the latter won, but only for reasons of diversity in my collection.

Smurf, for sure!

Distinctive blue dial + the only thing better than a glidelock clasp.... a GOLD GLIDELOCK!

hard decision...I'd say Pepsi, because the Smurf is a bit too blue for my tastes...

Chose the 619LB for no apparent reason. Like the BLRO as much
