Pepsi or Smurf

I understand both are popular PM watches. It would be great if you can share your choice and the reason of choosing it. Thanks in advance

It is a complete no brainier. You want to choose one when in fact you need both.

BLRO for me. I like Smurf but if I have to choose between the two, BLRO all day. Smurf is too much blue for me. lol

I voted Smurf only because I wouldn't get the Pepsi. If there was a WG Coke, I'd pick that over the Smurf.

Wg smurf. I already had the blnr and the smurf complemented it perfectly. Besides I couldn't get used to the cranberry purple bezel of the blro.

BLRO, I personally prefer a GMT over a Sub.

Smurf for me. They reason for me was easy. I really like my BLNR but didn't want two GMT's so I flipped my TT Sub and cash for the Smurf.

Smurf easy. Blue, blue, and more blue!
The BLRO bezel looks off with the purplish and salmon pink colors.

The yellow gold Smurf is the best looking Rolex watch hands down. Yellow gold day date would be second place.

BLRO. I own it and have owned the YG sunburst sub. If the smurf had a sunburst dial I would consider.

This hits home, just made the switch. Blro. Bright light blue bezel proved too much for me. Needs a sunburst to provide some color variation in bezel / dial

Pepsi. A GMT Master, being conceived as an elite pilot's watch, makes sense in gold. A diving watch... not so much. But I'm weird like that.

And I really wish the white gold sub had a much darker blue dial and bezel. Smurf is an apt nickname, but IMO not in a good way
