116710 LN and BLNR Current Owners: Flipping Towards SS New Pepsi GMT?
With the new Pepsi GMT announced today wonder how many current SS GMTc owners (LN and BLNR versions) are selling their pieces to fund the new Pepsi GMT on jubilee?
The new SS Pepsi is a beauty but untouchable for a couple of years, so looking forward to LN / BLNR prices on the market during the next few months! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I have a feeling a lot of BLNR owners won't flip. And I think a lot of it has to do with the colours. The blue on the BLNR is just so much more.. blue.. and attractive.

No intention of changing ( I don’t think it merits the word ‘flipping’). I think it’s fugly and I don’t expect it to grow on me !

Not a chance. The BLNR is staying put.
May add a SS BLRO, all depends on when I get the call

I have a BLNR and there is no way in a million years I'd flip it for the SS Pepsi. Of course I would still like to add a SS Pepsi to my collection some day but I much prefer the BLNR.

No way. I love the blue/black combo on the BLNR. Also already have a 16710 pepsi. Don't feel a need for the new one.

Unlike the BLNR, I can't vision myself wearing the jubilee pepsi as the daily going to work, the color is too flashy. On the other hand the jubilee is too dressy to wear it in summer weekend with t-shirts. My BLNR has no above issues at all.
So I will probably buy the pepsi at retail if I can locate one. But the occasions to wear it will be quite limited. I like the blue red pepsi combination though, much more preferable than the Coke |

Won't trade my BLNR for anything. Soon to be classic as new mvnts are being introduced and the color of the Pepsi is too saturated IMO. I will however purchase the new Tudor Pepsi for less than half of the Rolex with the same power reserve.

Unsure what to do with my LN. Likely selling v giving to my son- though I did think that putting it permanently on its Everest rubber strap would make it different enough to keep

Don't you all want the new movement? Isn't it likely the LN (possibly BLNR) get the new movement in short order? Just curious.

I don’t own one, but when it comes time to choose one, it’ll be the BLNR or the LN.

Just learned on Hodinkee that the new ss BLRO cannot take any Oyster bracelet at all. That is a major turn-off in my book.
