If the Pepsi was a coke, then Id be in that alllll day long. Otherwise, aside from the newness craze and flipping mindset, the BLNR takes it for me...usable everywhere, and doesn't feel like a toy, which for some reason when I tried the Pepsi on...it did. Granted...the new rose gold (full) GMT is my favorite new Rolex by a LONG shot...

BLNR without hesitation. Having tried on the BLRO, there just seems to be something off about it - maybe the colors, maybe the jubilee. The BLNR just feels more “Rolex” (prof line) to me.

BLNR for me, the black and blue combination is much pleasing than the red and blue...what i love about the Pepsi is just the jubilee bracelet...

I wasn't a fan of the Jubilee at first, but it has grown on me, so now I want both.

The Blnr. Every detail blends in perfectly. I find the bezel colours washed out in some lighting conditions for the Blro, and the Oyster suits the watch way better than the Jubilee. I like it on the Oyster how the end of the lugs embrace the first link, giving the bracelet a more solid feel. On the Jubilee, the end links outrun the lugs. The hybrid of the Jubilee bracelet with Oyster clasp, another no for me. I am also not a fan of the crown stamp at 6 o'clock, so another reason for me to choose the BLNR.

Blue and black are a colour combination that just does not work.

I have both. The BLRO is too new for me to be completely objective but, right now, I prefer it. I'd normally take the Oyster bracelet of the Jubilee but I don't like the Oyster with PCLs.

I prefer the LN over the BLNR, if the BLRO was offered on an oyster bracelet, that would be a game changer. But since it is not, I'll stick with my LN and 5 digit 167XX's.

Pepsi, hands down. IMHO it looks great on the Jubilee.

BLRO for me. The jubilee bracelet looks great and won't show the scuffs and marks as much as the PCL on the BLNR. Plus I like a bit more colour in my life with the red and blue.

BLRO is on a different (higher) Level than BLNR and that’s a fact

The Blue/Red GMT will be a more enduring watch due to its superior design and construction sophistication.

I'd need to see the BLRO since I already have a BLNR but I really want the extra power reserve..

For me it's BLNR over the BLRO. I like the Oyster bracelet, and the colors better on the BLNR.

Even if i have no particular reason for making this decision, i think i would go with the BLNR in this case, maybe if there was another watch but not the Jubilee.

Batman for me, however my wife is clamoring for the BLRO so she can wear it. I told her OK so long as it keeps her away from my Sub.

Looks like the BLNR is taking a bit of a hit since Pepsi is the new kid on the block. It's ok, give it some time and BLNR will be on top again. While I admit the BLRO on jubilee has grown on me tremendously, I would never give up my BLNR for one.
