Bought the BLNR several years ago for about half of what its going for now. Would have to go grey for a BLRO Pepsi with the jubilee. So would you trade BLNR + some cash to get the new Pepsi?

GB-man · 21 March 2019, 04:40 PM

Yes I would. Crazy but I would.

rominvicta · 21 March 2019, 04:40 PM

I would not. ��

HappyFish · 21 March 2019, 04:54 PM

In a few months from now you wiil get some extra cash for your BLNR in a trade with the BLRO! But no way - keep the BLNR!

Stevec14 · 21 March 2019, 05:17 PM

I would, but I prefer the BLRO. I think if you can get it for what would amount to a small premium then if you prefer it I would.

Yes I would. I’m not a fan of the PCL’s on the BLNR whereas the jubilee/Pepsi combination looks fantastic (I realise the jubilee has PCL’s but I think it ‘wears’ them much better).

Dean88 · 21 March 2019, 06:56 PM

I think the BLRO is much nicer so I would

This. It also has a better movement, so what’s not to like?

I’ve never been a fan of the PCL oyster on the GMT’s either.

JayG · 21 March 2019, 07:17 PM

I love both. But if I had to choose I’m keeping my BLNR on oyster.

ADR1982 · 21 March 2019, 08:18 PM

I certainly would. No question.
1) I think this is as hot as the old BLNR is going to get, so you will get a good price for it now.
2) I dont like PCL on oyster. The scratches show up a lot more than PCL on Jub
3) Pepsi, new movement + jub looks hot

1William · 21 March 2019, 09:10 PM

No issue on trading but I would go offer this trade to some AD's as the money should be straight. The AD's bought the Pepsi at 62% of retail and could get 12-14K for your Batman. Do the math and see how much the AD will profit.

Sure, I like having the larger power reserve. Wear what you like!

watchwatcher · 21 March 2019, 10:26 PM

I for sure would for the new WG version with the blue dial.

But putting in cash for another steel GMT, no way.

sya · 21 March 2019, 10:29 PM

if you really like the BLRO then yes, since it would be very difficult to buy one at retail anyway. you pay a small premium only if you take into account the amount that you will be making from the blnr

Mystro · 21 March 2019, 10:40 PM

There is more to the new movement than just a larger power reserve. It is a better movement all around with a improved rotor using bearings. That addressed a much well known weakness in the older movements. Is this a jewelry forum or watch forum??? The new movement is significant.

Fat_ninja · 21 March 2019, 10:43 PM

This is a personal decision.

VacherObsessive · 21 March 2019, 10:46 PM

No way. Wait and get a Pepsi, and swap the PCL for a Matt oyster on the BLNR. That would be a superb 2 piece GMT combo. BLNR for travelling and daily without worrying about PCLs, with the Pepsi for going out

encarter13 · 21 March 2019, 10:50 PM

I consider the two watches equals. The same, but slightly different. You can't go wrong with either option.

All things being equal, I would not part with cash just to change the color of my bezel.

k1985 · 21 March 2019, 10:53 PM

Personally I prefer the BLNR. If you love the Pepsi go for it. But on the flip side, I think given the recency of the change in lineup I would wait before moving my BLNR. I think the value of the 2 will converge over time.

r8t3d_M · 21 March 2019, 11:02 PM

I wouldn't make the trade but that's just me. If I really wanted the BLRO then I'd find a way to source one and have both.

denmanproject · 21 March 2019, 11:59 PM

No way

904VT · 21 March 2019, 11:59 PM

Only if you like to gift money away

SeaAndSky · 22 March 2019, 12:08 AM

Not a chance. I'd buy the BLRO from an AD and use this as an opportunity to develop your patience. It used to be a virtue but alas, the times, they are a-changing.

RTG · 22 March 2019, 12:09 AM

If I really wanted the BLRO then yes I would consider it.

TakeYourTime · 22 March 2019, 06:51 AM

The Pepsi all the way!!!! It's such a wonderful looking watch

ashbaug2 · 22 March 2019, 07:13 AM

Yep, I'd do that if I had the cash to pull it off.

2nastie · 22 March 2019, 07:20 AM

Yes, I probably would as well. Towards the dark bezel variant for me.

But... of course, it depends how much cash difference we are talking about.

Cru Jones · 22 March 2019, 07:21 AM

If I could source a new jubilee, I’d rather do that than sell the BLNR and add cash.
