Would you....

Sell off these two GMTS together for around 20k to buy a preowned but essentially mint BLRO for around 22-23 k? Caveat is I already have a SS Pepsi GMT, so both GMTS would be the same color scheme essentially.

I really dig the BLRO but seeing as you already have Pepsi...I would be inclined to keep the blnr.

I would but probably get the smurf, but in second position get the BLRO, love the raspberry color, plus you will have a different bracelet than your pepsi, so difference is good enough for me, do it for smurf or BLRO

I would but I don't think you can get $20k for both, realistic 18k.

I would go YG GMT and may even consider the green dial. I like the BLRO but you have a SS GMT that is close. A Smurf would also be nice and could work well with your SS.

Not a chance...I would keep those two.

The GMT TTc is one of the best Rolex models.

Yes. One SS GMT covers that base, plus the BLRO.

I would do it. PM would definitely feel different. Can probably pick up a few inserts for the SS, and have a coke and pepsi.

Just do whatever makes you happy, if the financial aspect works for you.

I would and I think that there is enough difference between the two pepsi watches to have both in a collection.

I wouldn't do it because you have a Pepsi in your collection. I'll definitely keep the Batman.
