Sell BLNR (Oyster) and buy Pepsi?

[Wahlberg]

Buy the Pepsi and flip it. The profit will almost cover your original BLNR price.

Thanks a lot guys !!!

Seems like most of the people have suggested to keep both.

Two GMTs in the collection will be too much?

If not, may I know why?

[Benzsiam]

You are the only one know what to do. Make a decision and never looks back.

It's just a watch, you can buy it again when you have more money.

You are making money, so just get the Pepsi.

You bought the BLNR at retail, you can get the Pepsi at retail so let's say that's 16-18k total. You can sell both today and make an easy +12k profit. That nets you another GMT at retail (if you were able to source another 3rd one).

The BLNR is the last Gmt on oyster, at least for the moment. I would keep it.

If you don’t plan on keeping two, and do not have a preference, the answer is simple from a financial perspective. Buy the Pepsi and sell the BLNR for a 4/5k profit

Many people don’t want to buy and flip.
Bad karma

Thank you. I don't know if it went to a flipper. I hope it didn't. . It was sold before I left the AD.

If I could I’d keep both. If only one the BLNR...

[bplusr]

If you don’t plan on having two GMTs in your collection, I’d say just keep your BLNR and and let the next guy get the Pepsi.

If you had the 126710BLNR, then I would say only keep one, but because you have the oyster, I think there is enough significant visual difference to justify keeping it along with BLRO.

[mykii]

Are you hoping to get a BLRO? Or have you bought it? Because if you're making an AD wait this long, I presume it's already gone.

Frankly, I'm biased, but I would legit flip a BLNR + pay the gray prices to still trade up to a BLRO.

[Seddyspaghetti]

in your scenario, i'd go for the pepsi at retail

No.

I have a BLRO coming (hopefully before I die of old age) to go with my CHNR. I think the Jubilee bracelet and the more brightly coloured bezel will compliment my TT excellently. If you love the model and want to mix it up, Rolex gives you a few options.

I couldn't pick between a Hulk and a Bluesy, so I ended up with both. Same watch but they couldn't look more different (to me) and feel different while essentially wearing the same. Likewise the Sky Dweller. I have wanted a black SS for a long time. Once I had it and fell even more in love with it than I thought was possible, it would have been rude to pass on the TT white one that came my way recently.

I do have a number of watches which I don't want two (or more) of. But if I really like a design and I really like the way it fits and wears, and other variants are available that I really love, I may get siblings. This is a particularly easy (if expensive) habit to fall into because Rolex make so many achingly cool, desirable watches. I also have a couple of Bamford London GMTs. They look completely different but being the same case and bracelet, they both wear equally comfortably. Not in the same quality league and price range as Rolex, but good watches don't always need to be expensive, if they sing to you.

Yeah, I know. It's an illness.

[greengold]

no brainer remeber the BLNR was only because they couldnt do red at the time and had to do black/blue instead of red/blue!

[Junyim]

I would ask if you are a Rolex Collector or if you keep one Rolex at a time?

If you are a collector, how many Rolex do you currently have?

If you keep one Rolex at a time, you sound like you like the Pepsi.. so flip the batman for the Pepsi.. If you are a collector, why not collect the Batman and wear the Pepsi? you'll also have the option of wearing the Batman when you wear your Blue Jeans and black T shirt.. and there will be a time when you will miss your Batman..

so are you a collector or a one watch guy?

I am a collector and I wear blue jeans and t shirt most of the time.

[jeffgo888]

I say yes!!

[sunnygps]

I would trade as well. The BLNR with oyster bracelet has been replaced with a newer movement and jubilee bracelet, however if you have an AD who will sell you BLNR and BLRO at retail, I don’t think you will have any issues with buying the newer BLNR again from your AD.

If you like the oyster bracelet on the BLNR, you can source the oyster bracelet and have the latest BLNR with oyster bracelet.

Here is my BLRO on the oyster bracelet. Same can be done on the BLNR.

The visual difference between the discontinued Batman and the Batgirl is more than the bracelet. The Batgirl case is smaller and has a crown on the dial. With Rolex to be collectible it's best to keep everything original. the newer movement is not that important when compared to the tried and tested movement 3186. Unless the OP got bored with his Batman or is not a collector, I suggest he keeps it. A red instead of black on the bezel is not worth getting rid of a discontinued Batman in my opinion.

[GB-man]

Yes do it

[Bulldog21]

If you are able, I would keep both. If one is the only option, the BLRO!

I think the power reserve is worth the upgrade, whether it is for a Pepsi or anything else.

[KBM]

Yes. Then put pepsi on oyster.

[horseShu]

seems a lot of trouble over basically the same watch, just with a different bezel insert.
guess we all have a lot of free time these days huh
