Well, I caved...
Congrats! I’ve become a GMT fanboy since getting a BLNR. Love the Pepsi too but the BLNR was always battling for the “better” of the two in my mind. It fits me perfectly, it’s just sporty and just flashy enough (mine’s on oyster). It has taken over my wrist. It’s only been a month or so.

That's a great pair, and I really like the patina on the bezel of the old one as well. Well done.

Congratulations! I also love the GMT watches and have had the Pepsi as a "must have" to add to my collection since I bought my BLNR.

Having them side by side really shows off the purple hues of the new BLRO.

I like the old aluminum bezel ones more

Sadly second best GMT behind the VTNR, , but nonetheless a beauty , I’d prefer any GMT on Jubilee primarily, but it’s not a game breaker, well done on getting such a great looking watch …

I’d take the 6 digit all day. Can’t beat the build quality and that allows you to use it like a proper tool. Give that baby some scratches and enjoy!

Thank you! It is the second one that I've owned and it is minty. The patina of the bezel is incredible. It is on the short list of watches I will never sell!

Glad you could make it happen, congratulations!

I deduce that you prefer the oyster bracelet over the jubilee. But i’m curious if you considered jubilee for the variety compared to your original model.
I prefer the oyster option as well, more sporty.

I've always preferred Oyster on a GMT. I do like jubilee as well and would love to add a jubilee bracelet for the 126710 but I know Rolex isnt selling them outright anymore and they are super expensive in the secondary market. That said, I wanted the modern version of my Pepsi.
