I love my Batman and while my budget can’t afford the new Pepsi I’m glad Rolex re-introduced it. There are so many here who’ve wanted it. More choice is always better in my book.

To me, though, the BLNR is still the most beautiful gmt made.

Except from Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" (1986) I have no interest whatsoever in Batman.

encarter13 · 23 March 2018, 12:19 AM

Torn on this one. I do not have a BLNR, but it is on my short list of pieces to acquire. It is versatile and looks great. However, I already have a SubC and Exp II - Polar and both of those watches match most any outfit. So, now I am thinking Pepsi...It adds some color to the rotation.

Gmt have to be 2 tone bazel, 2 tone bazel has to be pepsi.

Hands90 · 23 March 2018, 12:23 AM

New movement.
Pepsi blows the batman away

travisb · 23 March 2018, 12:25 AM

If I owned a BLNR I'd keep it and only add.

lesfield · 23 March 2018, 12:30 AM

I'm keeping my two-tone GMT, but if I had the choice of Batman vs Pepsi with the new the movement it would be Pepsi all day long.

The only reason I would not have a Pepsi is
1. They release a coke
or
2. The market gets saturated with them as it seems to be with the Batman (let's face it everyone on here has either got one, had one, or knows someone with one o. They are everywhere).

lucevan le stelle · 23 March 2018, 12:36 AM

Would not want to move my BLNR, and would have to see the Pepsi in person, not just in pics, since so far it has not generated the same degree of enthusiasm that I had for picking up a BLNR.

Since I would only want two GMTs max, my overall feeling is to hold off on another SS GMT for a couple of years to see if Rolex does indeed introduce a SS GMT Coke. It seems more likely now given this Basel and the new movement, and I would want to have that more than the Pepsi.

WristEnvy · 23 March 2018, 12:37 AM

As a 16710blro and blnr owner, not excited about the new SS ceramic Pepsi.

rexG · 23 March 2018, 01:27 AM

I have a new BLNR I’ve never worn! Don’t know why really.

But I’m keeping it and will be adding the new Pepsi.....

tbonesteak · 23 March 2018, 01:39 AM

I would - I'm looking to add a jubilee to my collection and the DJ doesn't sing to me like this one.

2muchtimeonmyhands · 23 March 2018, 01:45 AM

Never liked the mixture of blue and black. The SS Pepsi on the other hand just has great vintage looking appeal for me

Royalex · 23 March 2018, 01:52 AM

If I have to choose one , I may choose Pepsi since red and blue colors are so kicking my eyes. But if money is not the issue i definitely get both.

When I saw your listed town and user name, found you are right down the road from me at the exchange, across from favorite Mexican in town and my ocasional cigar lounge hang out.

VicLeChic · 23 March 2018, 03:40 AM

I've been indifferent to the Barman but so looking forward to trying the Pepsi!

AK797 · 23 March 2018, 03:42 AM

I'd probably switch, one GMT is enough for me.

MrPorter_008 · 23 March 2018, 03:48 AM

They are distinct enough to keep both in the collection imo, but if I had to choose one it would be SS BLRO from a $ perspective as it will appreciate a lot quicker.

liuk3 · 23 March 2018, 03:49 AM

Love my BLNR. Have a 16710 Pepsi. Feel no need to get the new Pepsi.

bayerische · 23 March 2018, 03:51 AM

Pepsi all day long. Never liked the “Batman”

HogwldFLTR · 23 March 2018, 03:53 AM

Tudor Diet Pepsi would be my choice.

thomaswentworth · 23 March 2018, 03:56 AM

I would want the jubilee more than the Oyster because it is different and new. The color scheme of the BLNR is more subtle, but I have a LN with Oyster bracelet (of course) and I would like to have a GMT that is different. I think noticeable differences are good. Differentiation in models is a very, very good thing.

GradyPhilpott · 23 March 2018, 04:08 AM

It's highly unlikely that I will buy an SS BLRO, but I don't feel short-changed for having bought the BLNR.

In fact, I like it better all the time.

Nonetheless, I'm glad Rolex added the SS BLRO.

Given the level of disappointment when the WG BLRO was introduced, you'd think there would be dancing in the streets.
