Trade the BATMAN for Pepsi 126710 BLRO?

[jeffgo888]

Just curious...whats the feedback here?
thanks

[Hollie_Rollie]

Straight trade or cash being added? If it’s a straight trade I would do it. If you’re adding cash, no

[Hulkhunter]

If it’s the MK1 BLNR then no, MK2 then yes.

[jaychief]

if its a straight swap then yes....

[jeffgo888]

Same answer as always, which one do you like the best. I already had an Oyster BLNR when I got my BLRO. Sold the BLNR a few weeks later when I realized I would not wear it anymore.

I can’t imagine anyone anyone doing that trade. BLRO trades a good bit higher.

[Chadridv]

assuming the money is correct to the market. It really just comes down to preference. If you're talking 116710 to 126710, of course you have to consider the bracelet change. Do you want a jubilee bracelet!? Obviously the increased power reserve is great.

Otherwise this is my general feeling about these two amazing timepieces...

The BLNR is my GOAT. I think it's the best watch ever. I probably lean a little towards having it on an oyster bracelet to seal it's place in history is the greatest.

HOWEVER... this is largely based on a single watch or very small watch collection.

IF you have a nice sized collection of watches, I find the BLRO to be so much more fun. But to me, it's clearly not as versatile. Again, that doesn't matter as much if we're talking about a collection of watches. If you're talking a one and only, my preference would be the BLNR.

yes good point!
I have a bluesy ,. DSSD and then this BLNR. Top i have Speedy pro as well.
Yes, I think the Batman is amazing. love the colors and deeply handsome.. but thought the pepsi variety would be nice..

ofc I can always trade the Bluesy for the pepsi..:)

[Rado63]

I would just say that if you have owned the BLNR and want the newer BLRO, then time to buy, sell, trade, that's the joy of the hobby.

[jaychief]

Personally the colours don't match the jubliee bracelet for me

[Kube]

Having never worn the Pepsi but having worn the Batman, I'd say do it. However, I know some who started with a similar mentality but changed their position after wearing the Pepsi.

I loved my BLNR on oyster. And the moment my AD called with the Pepsi I knew I didn’t need both so I flipped the BLNR without thought. It was definitely the right decision for me.

If it's a straight swap then I say go for it. If they ask for extra cash, then that also depends on the amount. If it's say $500 or so then do it, but a couple grand then I would forego.

[Manu74]

Both are great, but I just like the BLRO colors more.

[B2 Stealth]

Easy decision. I own a BLNR on jubilee and would trade in a NY minute. The Pepsi is my all-time grail watch. Owning one could easily turn me into a one watch guy!

[Stoffel]

Batman no, Batgirl yes

[jerryguo]

i would do it, and i wouldn’t mind adding cash to the trade. the BLRO is the better watch IMO

Also agree. Obviously biased, but OP if you want a BLRO, I would do it even with adding cash. The BLRO Pepsi is the OG GMT, and is more prestigious than a BLNR and that probably isn't going to change anytime soon.

[Pw92676]

I don’t own either. If in your shoes, I’d make the trade and add a few grand if needed.

Thank you mykii....
I like that term "OG" GMT..:)

I just have to find out what my options are
thanks

Maybe hit up DavidSW? He seems reasonable with his offers if there is room for him to make a tidy profit, but has the BLROs in stock.

And I totally agree re: OG GMT :). It is the original. That historic value isn't going to change, and to me it makes it the best GMT to own :).

[calebb90]

I have both currently and would not make the trade. I prefer the BLNR. Would add Pepsi with aluminum bezel.

BLRO is probably one of the most versatile pieces out there, go for it
