I prefer the Bruce Wayne with two-tone jubilee bracelet, which I own.

I wouldn’t own a one-and-done and I wouldn’t own a “Bruce Wayne.”

I own both Pepsi and Bruce Wayne. I wouldn’t want to get rid of either but if I could only keep one it would be the GRNR.

126610 LN Submariner - the perfect one watch to have.

I bought Submariners for both of my sons to commemorate them starting graduate school a couple of years ago. I will say one of them declined the Submariner and asked for my 126710 BLNR instead. He liked the flashier finish of the GMT Master over the Submariner for every day.

,

If grey, step it up a notch and go with HULK as one n done.

Of the three aforementioned, looks like about $6-8k delta between sub and GMT’s.

If you’re going to spend that amt, may as well get a discontinued-anniversary model.

sub is the ultimate one and done. Pepsi is an absolute classic and icon but not as versatile as the sub and the bruce wayne doesn't know what it wants to be compared to the sub if you know what i mean.

It would be the Submariner. I like the look and the wear the best and the Glide Lock Clasp is worth the price of admission.

Pepsi - possibly a bit loud with the splash of red, but many consider as the best SS watch?

Bruce Wayne- feel it looks sleek and more special than a sub, still have jubilee comfort too, annoying with lack of GL though with that and Pepsi. The bezel numbers are a little larger on GMT though compared to sub, do they still look classy etc
Mmm, going grey would make the BLRO and GRNR expensive/not great value.

BLRO will always be expensive, GRNR is in a honeymoon period and isn't value at the moment. Sub will be better value, but is boring.

As a curve, what about BLNR, has that splash of colour that makes the GMT's that bit more special, and way better value as its been out for so long that the hype has subsided, will be closer in grey price to the Sub.

BLNR over all. Can wear with anything like the grey GMT and sub, but just a pop of color to keep it interesting. The blue I look at everyday.

Having owned 2 subs and 4 GMT's, my Pepsi is by a mile, the coolest one I've owned. Excellent daily. Very akin to a Sub in ways, yet very different. Can still use the bezel to time things, and much more unique IMO. Love the Oyster, but now having a Jubilee for the first time, it's a very unique and comfy bracelet. Adds a dimension of personality.

Contemplating a similar one and done choice between my Sub Date 41, or an 11 series BLNR. From your selection though, I think I'd go Pepsi.
