Congrats, that's a beauty! I'm also thinking of trading in my Batman towards a BLRO, but I want to wait and see what happens at Baselworld first.

The BLNR, yes...the Lvc, no. With your collection, I would flip the BLNR and the 16710 if you have to do a 2 for 1.

Preferred by who? You? Have you been appointed spokesperson of the watch owners community?

And...comparing a gold watch to a toilet. Wow.

Doubt it. Don't think a used BLNR and a LV-C are going to bring BLRO money on the secondary market, even as hot as they are right now.

I like the upgrade, if you are a fan of the BLRO, I like the YG version myself. I would just hate getting rid of a sub from my collection, especially LV. I would give up the other GMT and make it a 2 for 1 GMT upgrade. You should also consider the Ceramic Daytona as prices are still high, if your not too attached to that watch.

The ceramic Pepsi owners will say “sure go for it” and the Batman/hulk owners will say “no way on earth”
Personally I don’t care for the ceramic Pepsi and will take the hulk and Batman angst over it!
The ss Pepsi is the real deal to me! But that’s only me.

I like the ceramic Pepsi, but I would rather have the two that you currently have, especially since you already have a steel Pepsi.

Keep the LVc. Only sub and 2 GMTs. BLRO can replace them. Unless you want to keep the Pepsi as a 'vintage' piece, add cash w the BLNR.
But 2 BLRO is redundant I think. Anyway, have fun deciding.

No way. BLRO bezel colors look so off to me. I would stick with your current two. More versatile too~

I wouldn't do it. The red and blue bezel on the SS GMT you already have is nicer than the ceramic variant. But if you really want the WG BLRO, then i would let go the 2 GMTs, and definitely keep the LV.

Seems like a fair trade...

Congrats! That is a gorgeous watch, even prettier in real life than in photos!
To the OP, I would do it, especially if its a straight trade!

I agree. I’d do the hulk and BLNR for the smurf. You have a 5 digit gmt anyway. If the Pepsi is a must, then I’d keep the hulk and trade the 2 gmt’s.

Ceramic BLRO is a great piece to have. Personally the Hulk is a bit bland (no disrespect to the Hulk fans, it’s a great watch) in that collection. Everything else seem to have interesting complication. The simple dress watch is well covered by the AP. I’d say go for it..

Go for it. I’m a believer in two for one trades when they make sense. In this case it makes sense. I think you’ll need to add some cash though. The best thing about two for one is the overall cost of ownership goes down because it costs less to service one watch. Also, I prefer PM Rolexes over SS and I’m not a fan of the BLNR or Hulk. I’m also biased because I have a BLRO and a YG green dial GMTIIC.
