Trading into pepsi. Tired of waiting

[thesharkfactor]

I traded into my BLRO and never looked back!

I do not think you will regret it.

IMO, the Pepsi is going to every bit as eye catching. The sparkly jubilee bracelet and vibrant color scheme of the bezel are anything but 'under the radar.'

Personally, I'd keep the Wimbledon and trade the other DJ for the Pepsi.

[subprimero]

Yes to the trade, but for a 16710 or 16750.

Sorting it out this week. But either way the Pepsi is getting bought. The watch on the far right is a vintage OP from my father in law. It’s not going anywhere as it’s was promised to my son by him. Pictures to come once it’s landed!

Thanks for the help TRF!

Super cool pic

BLRO is the same dude, probably more so.

Caveat to this Wimbledon is it’s a showy piece. I find it hard to wear and often put it on, think about wear I’m going, and opt for a more casual piece like my sub or explorer. I’ve got some great photos over the past year with my son and I’m wearing the watch. Outside of that, I somewhat force myself to wear it cause i spent 15k on it and for me, that’s a decent amount for a watch I sometimes don’t opt to wear.

I’m sure there are others that have managed this dilema. How did it shake out for you?

When you say you ‘work with two AD’s” are you a SA for two stores ?

[WS9D]

both are flashy. guess you have to ask yourself do you want sporty flashy or dressy flashy?

[Halla]

Executing the trade is definitely worth the effort.

I would figure it out. I like the TT Date Just but the BLRO on Jubilee is special. If you have to pay a little, so be it. Once the BLRO is on your wrist you will not be thinking about what it cost.

Just do it!

Firstly, the Pepsi is an amazing watch. Stylish and versatile! Secondly, after the Covid madness, prices seem to be stable now. It will go up if discontinued but otherwise it's relatively steady.

Fair warning... way more people will notice and comment on the Pepsi! That has certainly been my experience with it compared to my rose gold DJ Wimbledon.

Good luck!

I traded a few watches with a grey for a BLRO this summer. It hasnt left my wrist since I got it. I usually rotate every 3-4 weeks but dont want to stop wearing it. It's perfect. Love everything about it including the colors.

[Michael1968]

I would do it

[WatchSmith]

Traded an old 116710 and 214270 for the BLRO and never looked back.

Don't want to make it hard for you to decide but the rose gold is stunning!!!! It would definitley be my pick over the pepsi!

I think that’s spot on. Perhaps I should have made that detail in my original post. I think the dress-flashy look is where i struggle. I’m well aware the pepsi is a looker and it will shine - but it’s a sport watch and will bode well with what I wear day to day.

The 16750 is my slim dress watch, it fits under all of my long sleeve shirts. It looks great it short sleeves, too. Haven't felt an urge to get another since I picked up the pepsi.

[Rolex.Journey]

Arrived! Holy hell this feels special.

That is huge. I owned the Pepsi on Jubilee but now prefer it on the Oyster as it is a bit more sporty variation of the Pepsi.

[EagleBear]

Congratulations well done.

Speculations / rumor mill churning to hype the watch even more and FOMO for people to pay the high premium on the secondary market.

Unless it is pulled from Rolex official website then everyone will know as a fact it will be discontinued.

We did this with the Hulk and it went from $17k to $25k almost over night after it was discontinued so there is the possibility.
