BLRO or BLNR

Hi guys,

I have both the Pepsi and Batgirl gmts, and I'm thinking about letting go of one of those and getting a hulk. Which one would you guys keep if in this situation?

Thanks!

Tough call as they are both great watches. Only you can decide which one “sings to you” more than the other. Let us know what you choose to do.

If the BLNR was on Oyster bracelet I’d have said keep that and let the BLRO go, as it is I’d keep the BLRO.

It is really up to you. Only you can make a decision.
IMO, BLRO is a rarer piece but BLNR is more versatile.
They are both elegant pieces.

Majority will say BLRO cuz hype. I don't think one is rarer than the other. I'm going BLNR because it's more subtle and would be a nice pairing with the more conspicuous hulk.

Having both, I'd vote for keeping the BLRO if you only want to have one.

Have to agree with MrMerc above, you can never replace what you sell at the same money. Keep them both and order the Hulk. With this lock down you will have saved enough anyway.

But how do you know he's not talking about the BLRO on oyster?

Batgirl - its an easier watch to replace should you regret it.

I prefer the BLNR on jubilee over BLRO because it is a more subtle piece (the red and blue is a bit too sporty) and does not have the full spectrum of wearability as the BLNR -- from sport to more dress.

And especially since you are adding the vibrant green of the Hulk, I think the BLNR would compliment it better. The other combo would be almost cartoonish with all of the colors - red, blue, and green.

I have to add, I think the superhero combo of Batman and Hulk would be awesome!

Lastly, you would get more cash with the BLRO sale too!

Preferably keep both, but if one must go, no brainer, keep that BLRO

I've owned both but sold the BLNR, just didn't bond with it.

This is the GMT of choice for me YMMV 20190515_064247.jpgIMG_20181118_161825_255.jpg

I like the Batgirl because it’s a better everyday wear with its darker hues. The Pepsi is a classic color, so I would rather have that on a vintage GMT. If you’re looking to raise money to fund the Hulk, you’ll also get more for the Pepsi than you would for the Batgirl.

I vote keep the Batman as well. Personally, I'd keep both, but the Batman is more versatile IMHO.

BLRO or BLNR

Keep blro as Batman is so much more masculine on oyster but somehow Pepsi on jubilee works ok

Tough call. I am in the"honeymoon" phase with the BLNR as I just got two weeks ago, and I love the jubilee, so I would have to say the Batgirl
