Like most I’ve recently fell in love with the GMT Pepsi Rolex, whether it’s vintage models or more prominently the new BLRO. I’m on a list for one but god knows how long the wait will be... I respect and admire the Tudor version which appears much less understated than the BLRO and has a vintage look and feel to it. Ofcourse I much prefer the BLRO if it were attainable.. I will go in and check out the Tudor variant tomorrow. AD is expecting a sale, however, if I don’t absolutely love the watch, it ain’t happening. I wish Tudor incorporated PCL’s into their bracelets. I think it would really accentuate the vintage looking bezel and dial. What are your thoughts on the Tudor Pepsi? Is it a tough watch to source? Haven’t seen what the premium is at Grays for this piece. Thanks

It sounds like you're getting caught up the "opportunity" to buy the Tudor GMT but your heart is really set on the Rolex BLRO. Definitely check out the watch tomorrow and approach it with an open mind, but don't feel pressured to buy it because you think it will be your only chance to get one soon. Don't buy this watch thinking you can try it out for a month and can then sell it to a grey for a profit.

Agreed - I bought mine out of a window and there was another one there on leather 2 weeks later. They are definitely about.

It’s a great watch, but if it’s the Rolex you want that’s the one you should get.

It could be a relatively low cost way of scratching the itch while you wait however. You may not make a profit, but I doubt you would lose too much as a trade/flip and the BLRO could be some time.

It seems your heart is with GMT rollies,
Just because it’s been hot topic (tudor gmt) of the town don’t be caught off guard by fomo mentality.

I bought a Tudor GMT to give to my son for a special occasion coming up. I liked it so much that I just bought one for myself. I have no interest in resale value. It's just a great watch.

If my AD called and said they had the Rolex pepsi for me at list price, I would definitely buy it. But, that would take nothing away from owning and wearing the Tudor.

Just to add...both of the ones that I bought are on a bracelet. They are harder to find. My AD has had one on a strap in the display case for about a month. Yet, they have a waiting list for the GMT on a bracelet.

The Tudor is a stellar watch in its own right.
