Should I sell two watches for Ceramic Pepsi ?

Prices for the Hulk and Batman has risen to a point where I'm considering of selling and purchasing a Ceramic Pepsi instead. Would you consider this trade ?

My other watches are Patek 5726 1a, Ceramic Daytona, Patek 5960 1a , Speedy Pro, AP 15400 , Rolex 16710 Pepsi

Yes absolutely, not really a fan of the BLNR and nothing much better on the market than a WG Pepsi

Given your current collection, I’d go for it. The 116719 would fit in perfectly.

I am a fan of the BLRO, and would certainly do the trade.

The WG Pepsi is my current favorite watch but I wouldn’t trade those two watches for it. I’d prefer to have two distinct watches than one. But, I’m biast because I just bought a BLNR and I can’t afford the Pepsi. Good luck with that dilemma!

Without hesitation! BLRO would be a nice fit to your current lineup

Depends if you want more of less or less of more, a dilemma I always struggle with since I can’t afford them all.

To answer your question, I sold an 116622 platinum dial and a PAM422 along with some more frugal pieces, to fund most of the 116655 purchase.

I miss the 116622 and the 422, but I don’t regret it.

Not a fan of the WG pepsi so I wouldn't do it personally. However if you like it, based on your collection I would definitely go for it.

I’m assuming some additional funds would be involved as well. I wouldn’t, but I’m not a PM person. I understand the desire so you should do it if that’s what you really want.

I love the BLRO. Even as an only watch. Based on your collection I wouldn’t do that trade. I would get rid of the 5726 and 5960 thou.

Considering your current collection and the fact that after you sell the Hulk and the BLNR you will still retain a GMT (16710) I would go for a Smurf. BTW, I am biased LOL

Great suggestions and input from all. I will most likely wait until after Basel , something interesting might pop up.

Going for a smurf is a wonderful idea too. Might be redundant to have two GMT watches.

Make sure you try it on, the BLRO has some weight to it being all gold, otherwise go for it, I love the BLRO.

If you want a solid gold dive watch then yes.

I would not.

If you keep 16710 than I’d go for the smurf. As far as your original question I would make that deal as well.

And you don't have to throw in any cash? If not, then this deal is a no-brainier. Do it.

I'm going with no on this one. Big fan of GMTs but that watch has never grown on me as many times as I've seen it/tried it IRL. On the other hand, the BLNR and LVC are clear winners for me on the 6 digit spectrum.

My local AD had one a couple days ago and the red just seems too muted for my taste.

With your great collection I think you should have a PM in there now. I would probably sell the Pepsi as you will have another and keep the LVc, or sell the 5960 which I'm not a great fan of myself.
