Sounds like you really want the Pepsi since it's not a matter of if you want to sell, but which one should go on the block. Ask yourself which one truly appeals to you the most or perhaps it's a matter of rarity which is always hard to predict. Pepsi is the hottest SS Rolex right now. Good luck in your decision. Cheers!

The big question is, how much is your dealer asking? If it's the inflated price of about $20,000, I would suggest finding a nice example of a 16710 / 16700. This will leave you with a well rounded collection and scratch the Pepsi itch for half the price, making it easier to keep all three.

Wish I can keep all 3 but would be difficult.
Keep your favorite GMT

Neither, but if you have to choose a diver and a GMT is a more sensible collection than two GMTs. Bye BLNR.

I would personally flip the Pepsi to make a few $$$$’s (if I couldn’t keep all three), but I don’t have all three in front of me (just a Batman on the wrist currently).

I would trade GMT for GMT in your situation.

Batman has to go. Too much redundancy between BLNR and BLRO. Hulk is special even though this gen is not for me.

BLNR to go... if you end up regretting it, BLNR would be easiest to replace

Let go of your inner Batman and embrace the Pepsi. Don't need 2 GMTs.

Loose the BLNR. I’ve never understood the fascination with it. The LV is a stand out piece for me and worth keeping

I’m a newbie going against the grain here, but I’d keep the BLNR. Thicker bezel, colors blend in more easily IMHO. I love divers but still I’d let go of the LV. Limited “wear” potential in my thoughts. Stunning piece for sure but a bit too loud at times. YMMV

Agree with above post ^^^


OK Brainstorm here. Dump the HULK , going against the grain
because I've never been and still am not a fan of a green watch!!!

That said, Get your BLRO SS keep the Batman and add a SS Sub
when possible...

Your welcome... Then you'll be Golden !!!

Why would he sell a SS Sub that he clearly likes and buy a SS Sub that you clearly like?

Then I wouldn’t ask strangers opinions on a public forum .
Plus I don’t really like the ND Sub but I know it’s very
popular. Not that I dislike it but I personally like a date
function...

If you absolutely had to let go of one, then like many have mentioned, blnr for the pepsi and it'll add versatility to your collection. Good Luck!
