Just an early poll to see how the forum feels. Assuming the BLRO is blue and red, and not purplish and pinkish, which WG watch would you choose if you could only have one?

captkevin · 13 May 2014, 07:58 PM

Sub

Buck I · 13 May 2014, 08:15 PM

The Sub is outstanding

RolexJNJ · 13 May 2014, 08:16 PM

BLRO for me!

Art 1 · 13 May 2014, 08:18 PM

Sub.

Im Lauf der Zeit · 13 May 2014, 08:25 PM

Blue/Red... an iconic combo going back to the 6542.

ejvette · 13 May 2014, 08:27 PM

Sub

Are there thoughts out there that the blue and red colors of the BLRO are more purple and pink? This is the first I've read of this.

Darlinboy · 13 May 2014, 08:31 PM

Of those two, neither of which are on my "must have" list at the moment. I'd go with the PepC.

This thread shows all the different colour pics of the watch.

up2nogood · 13 May 2014, 08:42 PM

Don't have a desire for either, but given my current stable I would have to say BLRO.

superdog · 13 May 2014, 08:45 PM

I was not the biggest fan when pics came out.

However, I'm being swayed and I'm starting to think this will be in the rotation someday.

The tough part is that you can get the sub for circa 25k used.

It will be quite a while I think before the cost if the pepC drops.

Old Expat Beast · 13 May 2014, 08:55 PM

I voted Sub. I can't help but think of what an amazing vintage GMT could be had for BLRO money. Half of it, even.

watchwatcher · 13 May 2014, 09:20 PM

I voted BLRO. Would suit my traveling better. Both lookers, though.

Good point. But there'll be no stopping the precious metal enthusiats!

QueueCumber · 13 May 2014, 09:27 PM

WG Sub hands down, IMO. GMTs are great and all, but Submariners are epic. Just look at vintage comparisons between the models and how they price out...

Cru Jones · 13 May 2014, 09:34 PM

WG Sub and with the savings from the BLRO buy a "real" Pepsi.

beshannon · 13 May 2014, 09:37 PM

Would need to see them in the metal but I do not really have much interest in either one

HL65 · 13 May 2014, 09:38 PM

WG Sub for me and still one of my favorite in collection.

Brucie D · 13 May 2014, 09:58 PM

I would get the Sub and keep my BLNR.

I would never buy a precious metal sport watch, unless money was no object, but I prefer the red/blue combo over the all blue.

tkerrmd · 13 May 2014, 10:08 PM

Neil that is a great question, I am hoping to consider having both but may only go one or other. I really can't vote till I see the GMT in person, so I difer my vote

so for now will wait until something beats this….

fishingbear · 13 May 2014, 10:11 PM

I voted Sub because I already have a 16710 Pepsi and love it, and that blue sub is incredible.

Great idea!

Honestly, if I were to go white gold, my preference would be:

Skydweller
Daytona
DayDate
Blue Sub
BLRO

mjclark32 · 13 May 2014, 10:18 PM

Another sub vote, love the blue

Kiddodoc · 13 May 2014, 10:21 PM

Sub for me too! Already have a true pepsi.

Trouble15 · 13 May 2014, 10:23 PM

Blro

masterserg · 13 May 2014, 10:45 PM

Sub. Not even close. The blue dial is just stunning!

Great pic, Tom. Yeah, it's a bit unfair on the BLRO as it isn't out yet but I thought it would be interesting to see the general mood now, I'm sure things will change when it is out too, looking forward to seeing one myself.
