A superhero will beat a soft drink in a fight. The soft drink will taste sweeter.

I’m not sure what the question is.

I prefer the BLRO. I can't tell you which one you like more or how much you will pay for it.

I was offered a BLNR by my AD. It looked a lot nicer in person than I thought it would and it's not difficult to see why it is so popular. You'll get a superb watch whichever way you go, just so long as it's the watch you want.

I have the BLNR. I like it alot. To be honest, I really like the 5 digit Pepsi's more than the modern version BLRO. But go with what you like best. I bought the BLNR at MSRP, and that would be my target for the BLRO if I wanted one.
I'm holding out to see if they release a SS Coke any time soon.

Do you prefer the blue and red bezel of the Pepsi over the BLNR’s blue and black?

To me blue and black makes more sense for day and night indication and more importantly I tend not to wear red so for me personally I prefer the BLNR.

What’s your take?

Also should i concern about the wear and tear of the bezel triangle on the gmt master ? i've seen that the platinum coating could get dirty/scratched

Easy to clean with soap and water.

If I were offered both from an AD I’d choose the BLRO.

I am more of this opinion. The Pepsi is the exact same watch except for bezel color so decide which bezel colors speak to you more.

I personally find that the black and blue can be both casual and more formal looking, especially on a Jubilee bracelet. Pepsi seems more casual, which is great and others may think that it looks for formal. I just find that the Batman can transition to a suit more easily from jeans, shorts etc. . For me.

Bottom line, no wrong choice here.

I do not understand the purpose of your question, OP. They are the same watch, just a different color combo. Which do YOU prefer?

Pepsi

There are plenty of polls on this topic and it’s usually split about 60/40 Pepsi/BLNR.

The best way to decide is to see them in person. Are you purchasing from an AD or somewhere else?

Brian's right; we seem to have this question pop up every week or so, and the answer is always the same.

How so?

It's obvious cheesecake is better...

Pepsi and carrot cake off the menu

[Cru Jones]

Cheesecake vs carrot cake is much harder for me….. as for the watches, BLRO every time.

I'll take both too, but add a slice of Black Forest Torte!!

[AK797]

BLRO, I like the bezel colours are not black, like the dial, gives the watch more balance.

[travisb]

Take price out of the equation. You won't be truly happy unless you buy which one YOU like the most and will get the most enjoyment out of owning and wearing.
BLRO is the one for me.

[Kiddodoc]

Have both and I really like the BLNR for most settings but I would not give up my BLRO unless I was exchanging it for the Meteorite Pepsi. Most here will tell you the BLRO. I just don't see the BLRO as an everyday watch as the BLNR. BLRO in a collection for sure. BLNR if one and only or limited collection.

[Midlifegoals]

If I had the option of a BLNR or a BLRO on either a jubilee or an oyster, I would choose the BLRO on Oyster. I suppose the 'hype-train' would indicate BLRO on Jubilee, but I feel like the classic looks of the Oyster really fits the Pepsi.

I'm not sure I'll ever get offered either, but there's no doubt I'd go that way. I indicated my sincere interest in a Pepsi mid last year. I'm not a high-spender, so I'd be genuinely surprised and thrilled if I get the chance to buy one (no grey market for me, watches are a hobby and a 'nice to have' not a 'need to have')...and, obviously, if they offered a Pepsi on Jubilee, I wouldn't be able to get to my wallet out fast enough! Haha

If it gets discontinued, I'm not sure what I'd do. If I were offered the BLNR shortly after the discontinuation of the BLRO I'd probably buy it and enjoy it. If it were evenly replaced with a Coke model, I'd need to see one in person before deciding. I vastly prefer the red/blue to the red/black in the mock-ups that I've seen. I'd probably just abandon the GMT wish until the Pepsi makes an eventual return.

If it matters to you - the Pepsi (not current day iteration of course ) was introduced in the mid 50's. The Pepsi is iconic. Still, choose what YOU like best.

I own both and prefer the BLRO by a long shot over the BLNR.
