Would you trade a 5196G for a PepsiC?

Got a trade offer for my 5196G and I thought I'd ask in here to see what everyone thinks.

Totally different watches - I prefer the calatrava to be honest

If you need a daily beater and you have other dress watches then go for it otherwise I’d stick

Yeah, you’re covered! If anything I’d trade one or some of those for the Pepsi unless they have sentimental value.

Do you have other dress watches? I really like your calatrava and I’d only trade it for another dress watch

I’d personally keep the 5196G and trade any or some of your other watches for the PepsiC!

Agree. The 5196g & the PepsiC would be a great combo, if possible.

Based on what you have I'd keep the 5196G even if I wanted a PepsiC which I don't.

I prefer the Pepsi but if I had a smaller wrist I’d prefer the 5196.

Even money there, I’d stick with the 5196 and get a new strap.

As an even trade I would not do it. I prefer the 5196 especially in white gold and really do not care for the colorful Pepsi, so simple choice for me.

I prefer the Pepsi, but looking at your collection, I’d stick with the Calatrava.

This. Like others have suggested, if the Pepsi is a must have, I’d move one or some of the others in your collection for it. I view the 5196G as the perfect dress watch.

5196G, it's the modern version of the Calatrava that is closest to the original ref. 96 in white gold
