Amazing deal for a new watch, new movement and plenty of warranty left.

Clearly a yes-deal to me.

Great deal at 2k! Fair deal at 4K.

If the BLRO is what speaks to you, do it. For the price of a good microbrand, you get what makes you happiest to wear. Plus, now that I have a few 70 hour + power reserve pieces in my collection, I really appreciate the benefit it offers.

Also ....you save money by not needing service quite as soon.

I prefer BLNR, so no. I would not do the trade.

i'll maintain what i'd said earlier- between friends, no $$$ should change hands. it should be like for like (GMT swapping, if you will.)

You love the BLRO; cool. He digs the BLNR- perfect! Thus, GMT swapping is the way to go.

FYI I like them both but I do like the Pepsi on oyster a little more. I would be adding the new moment and power reserve plus 4 years of warranty.

Fair deal or pass?

BLNR looks better IMO. New movement and power reserve are worthless if you wear the watch regularly.

I would never do that trade...in fact, I wouldn't trade my BLNR for the BLRO even if THEY added $4k on top.

You won't be able to replicate that deal by selling your Batman here and purchasing the Pepsi with proceeds + $4k. If you want it, that's the best you'll probably get.

Unless you are able to source from an AD. Then sell your batman and have cash in your pocket.

I wouldn't do that trade for $4k on. I appreciate the history of the Pepsi, and I love the look of the 5 digits, might also add that the colours on the ceramic Pepsi looks great to me. I’m sure 3k sounds better.

If you like the Oyster bracelet then buy one for your BLNR through Rolex. It will be like you have two watches! If it's the small upgrade of the movement, the newness of the watch, the bezel color, and warranty upgrade then do the trade. Recently tried on the BLNR. Had no interest in the BLRO that was sitting right next to it. In the end, this is definitely a subjective answer.

Assuming by buying directly through an AD?

New movement and Pepsi bezel, I’d take the offer.

Seems a reasonable deal - ultimately all down to which you prefer - I personally would do that deal - good luck
