I would prefer the Pepsi, but as mentioned earlier... take the first one you can get.
Pehaps let "fate" decide for you...lol

You should go with the one you prefer. I personally like the Pepsi more.

I also would buy which ever one you get offered first, you can always sell it if you get offered the other one.

I like the BLNR on a jub. I already have a vintage Pepsi though, so kind of easy choice for me.

I like the BLRO. As for which will be more collectible, consult a psychic.

You should not buy either one. Obviously you are only buying the hype and speculation of the watch. If you had a preference as to what you will wear, you would have answered your own question. Instead you are looking for others to tell you what to wear.

Something isn’t right.

By waiting, do you mean that you are on a waitlist for both or you actually got a call from an AD to come pick up whichever you like better?

Get BLRO - The new batman will always be the previous batman on a different bracelet... There wasn’t a BLRO prior to this one, unless you go back to 5 digit days. Also, we’ve already seen copycats, fitting a jubilee to the previous batman...which isn’t possible with the BLRO, because it didn’t exist in anything other than jubilee. My 2 cents

Just watched a re-run of Magnum PI. If a Pepsi is good enough for Magnum.....



An extract from an interview

What about the famous Rolex GMT-Master Pepsi, a legend for collectors?
Ah, the Rolex 1675! That I did keep. I’ve always loved that watch. It was the perfect match for Magnum. It’s a watch that likes action, and believe me I’m know what I’m talking about. I’ve had my fair share of “sport” watches but never one as tough as the Rolex. It’s been underwater, buried in sand, taken I don’t know how many knocks, and never a problem. It’s called the Pepsi because the bezel colours are the same as the Pepsi logo. Personally, I thought the red went well with the Ferrari and the blue matched Hawaii’s lagoons and sky.

White gold BLRO. You get an oyster bracelet similar to the previous BLNR, and a blue dial

BLRO over BLNR.

Both for the heritage of the colours and the future collectability, if there will be such a thing?

Congrats on the new watch! Good for you! Realistically, getting what you like more is always the right choice.

Agreed!

The OP asked a sincere question of a group of watch enthusiasts whose opinion he apparently values. How about we give our opinion and he can then still do what he wishes.

Isn’t this how these watch forums work?


BTW, to the OP, my choice would be BLRO Pepsi!!!
