Help to decide….

Hello guys,

If you have both SS Pepsi with Jubilee bracelet and White Gold Pepsi Meteorite dial and want to keep only one….which are THE ONE you keep it?

Sell the one with the biggest profit (that's what you are really asking for right?)

Which do you feel more comfortable wearing? They’re both amazing. I’d go Meteorite but I love my Pepsi.

Not even close. Keep the WG meteorite. Even putting on my most contrarian hat, I have a hard time arguing the other side. Unless for some reason you don’t like the look of meteorite? Or maybe need more cash? But otherwise, easy call.

I'd keep the WG Meteorite and wear it constantly. However, if I wasn't going to wear it constantly, I'd sell it or trade it for something I would.

Well my opinion will be wildly unpopular here, but I don’t personally care much for the meteorite dial, as mostly it’s a legibility issue for me.

That’s said, why did you buy both?

I’m surprised you’re even asking the question. Keep the meteorite.

This shouldn't even be a question. Keep the meteorite; it's rare, gorgeous, and each piece is unique. The SS BLRO is much more easily replaced.

Keep the meteorite all the way! I’ve tried one on once and legibility isn’t an issue IMO but I’m sub 40 years of age.

Keep the meteorite. Truly a stunning piece over the steel variant.

When the AD received their first Meteorite (Already sold ),I went to have a look .Compared it to the ss jubilee version (Also sold) next to each other ...

Both in look and feel the ss version feels and looks broken against the wg meteorite.The WG Meteorite is a different ball game .

Quite frankly ,I don't get your question .
