Icon20 Kermit or Pepsi

These two have similar prices in both retail and grey market.

If you can only have one of the two, which one will you pick and why?

1) Submariner Date 41mm 126610LV

2) GMT Master II 40mm 126710BLRO

Kermit is more versatile IMO. Pepsi more elegant.

Kermit or Pepsi

BLRO is much more useful to me and is what I chose. I do have a soft spot for the LV submariner as it is the only submariner variant that I wanted

Touch call. They’re so different. I would vote BLRO as it’s more versatile in my opinion. Dressy and sporty.

I have both and my vote goes to the Kermit. The Pepsi looks great at certain angles depending on lighting, but not so special in others. I think the Pepsi is very photogenic, but the Kermit is better in person.

I own both and would go with LV. Green looks amazing in its many shades and form, but to mention the new watch 12661C case and clasp dimensions are very comfy. The blue on my mk3 blro is very disappointing and underwhelming- I much prefer the blnr over the Pepsi.

I'd go Cermit because I have a GMT but don't have a Sub. If I had neither Sub nor GMT, definitely BLRO. GMT function, better bezel color combination IMO and Jubilee? Sign me up.

Both are such great watches there’s no wrong answer.

I give the edge to the BLRO for its rich historical nod to the past

The Pepsi as I think it is more unique.

Polar opposites. You either love or hate the green. You either love or hate the jubilee.

For those reasons Kermit all day.

If only one, it's the Sub for me. Both is ideal.
The Sub was the watch that drew me to Rolex.
I prefer the all brushed Oyster bracelet, glidelock and cleaner look.

BLRO. For the Sub, I refer the basic black bezel.

I have the LV and do not own the BLRO, but I voted for the GMT. I think it's a prefect one watch.
