I'd take the 2 watches over 1.

Sell the 1 you don't like and consider the other a free watch + cash for your time.

Krash · 14 February 2022, 07:06 AM

I have a Submariner and I'm getting a DJ41. I am not sure I'd make that trade. On the other hand, if I had a Pepsi, I'm not sure I'd trade it for a Sub and a DJ41.

MikePRT · 14 February 2022, 08:04 AM

Some interesting views. In an ideal world I’d have all three, but got an 126618LB coming any day now so the watch fund is depleted, if I want the Sub ND and DJ something will have to make way. Also, an AD isn’t offering me the trade. I’d have to sell the BLRO privately. The more I think about the more I’m inclined to keep the BLRO, and just buy the Sub ND when funds allow.

I think you'd regret selling the Pepsi.

Little machines · 14 February 2022, 08:55 AM

I probably would keep Pepsi and try to add pieces at a later date . You're in great position either way . Good luck !!

Santiago32 · 14 February 2022, 11:53 AM

Nope. Add them in the future if you still desire them. I think you will regret getting rid of the blro

JDA0779 · 14 February 2022, 01:42 PM

I would try to add the Sub and DJ over a period of next 2 years in this case. Selling the Pepsi is a No.

liberalclown · 14 February 2022, 02:23 PM

Do it, you can always replace it if you regret, a sub and dj should net you a pepsi on a grey trade.

SwissmadeTexan · 14 February 2022, 02:38 PM

No way Jose.

Eric88 · 14 February 2022, 02:41 PM

This thread is full of regrets. Don’t do it.

dwjez14 · 14 February 2022, 02:51 PM

Don’t do it you will regret it and probably not find a replacement at retail having owned all these models I just can’t not drop wearing my blro. It just pops

Kyle3130 · 14 February 2022, 02:59 PM

“A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush”
Trade if you wish but I’ll say, tell your AD you want the Sub and the DJ then see how long it takes to get them while you enjoy wearing your GMT.

mattidk · 14 February 2022, 08:50 PM

Will only trade up, never trade down as they always giving regrets later :)

travisb · 14 February 2022, 09:00 PM

Be 100% certain before making the move. Not easy to reverse that deal if you have regrets. I'd stick with the BLRO and try to add the 124060.

1William · 14 February 2022, 10:24 PM

I would just add a Submariner if possible. So many other options.

RobJohnFL · 15 February 2022, 12:30 AM

Oh no, I wouldn‘t do it!

agsstructures · 15 February 2022, 12:36 AM

Keep the Pepsi

Driver8 · 15 February 2022, 12:52 AM

OP - To me it depends on why you're considering selling the BLRO. You say you've enjoyed (or do enjoy) wearing it but are considering selling it because the market price has gone up. To me that's not a good long-term reason to sell on its own. It may seem like a great idea now - sell one, get two - but if you find yourself missing the BLRO a few weeks/months down the line.... then what?

This is why I always say that as a true watch enthusiast, buying (and especially selling) pieces should not be purely motivated by financial considerations. I only sell if I've genuinely fallen out of love with a piece; that way there's no regrets.

norcalctr · 15 February 2022, 02:00 AM

I would trade a DJ and Sub for the Pepsi. You got it the other way around.

samson66 · 15 February 2022, 02:04 AM

I never recommend 1-for-2 trades. Keep the GMT and add a DJ. They make a great pairing

JH419 · 15 February 2022, 02:59 AM

I'd keep the BLRO.

SudiYunus · 15 February 2022, 03:05 AM

Keep the Pepsi, buy either Sub or DJ 😃🙏

Gaijin · 15 February 2022, 03:27 AM

No I wouldn’t.

Roli4life · 15 February 2022, 05:58 AM

I have a Pepsi and a sub. I love them both but to be honest I could live with owning just the sub. The new iteration of the 41 is a hard watch to shake.

Many on here are saying that the Pepsi is a more special watch? I do not understand why the Pepsi is more special than the submariner. I’m guessing they mean more expensive or harder to get lately? Because both of them have a storied history, with the sub slightly edging out the GMT in my opinion.

This. Cashing in on the hype for 2 great pieces in their own right isn’t bad. If you bought the Pepsi retail it’s a great idea if you like a sub as much as a Pepsi.

Id take the 2 over 1 blro on jubilee every time. I prefer Batman to Pepsi and would make this 2 for 1 trade if value was same. My blnr is a wedding present and sentimental value means it’s mine forever though…

B2 Stealth · 15 February 2022, 08:12 AM

BLRO is my favorite Rolex model. No way would I trade mine for a Sub and DJ. If I were a "one and done" watch guy it would be a BLRO!

Rolex.Journey · 15 February 2022, 03:32 PM

Yes

jb335 · 15 February 2022, 03:36 PM

Assuming you actually like and enjoy wearing the watch, keep the BLRO. It’s cooler and will appreciate better than a Sub and DJ.

You would be insane to make that trade

Bozack90 · 15 February 2022, 09:55 PM

I wouldn't do it, as others said getting a new GMT at retail is impossible these days, I'd get the sub if you can, then again I have a sub and a GMT so am biased, but also would love a datejust in the future.
