I think my problem with the BLRO is that the blue dial is so different from the blue bezel. What were they thinking?

The blue bezel and black dial from the sub is so cool...
There you go

If it was the WG Smurf, without a doubt I would keep it. But in this case, keep the GMT. I can’t seem to like the new WG sub with the black face. Not distinctive enough

Keep the sub. You can get the same Pepsi in SS… while the blue bezel sub will only be available in WG.

Keep the sub by far. I agree the difference between the blue bezel and dial is off-putting to me. I love how distinct the WG sub is and to me, the black dial makes it way more versatile than the smurf

Dump them both. Need more PM pieces out in the marketplace so prices come down and I can finally pick up a WG Pepsi myself :)

I'd ditch the "IWC perpetual calendars, Breitling Chrono..." before ever selling a Crown.

Keep the GMT , it has a complication and is rarely seen in the wild.

I had a BLRO. Rolex did a bad job with it honestly, the bezel colors are just flat wrong. With the blue dial on top of the milky bezel colors, it just isn't a cohesive watch. It's why I now no longer have a BLRO, but instead have a BLNR.

In this show down, I'd keep the sub.

BLRO 100% as its a perfectly executed piece.

I have been considering getting one to compliment my Meteorite dial variant.

Very tough decision!
I’ve always loved the WG Pepsi!
But for some reason the sub is really drawing me in, it just pops, plus the added bonus of glidelock
