I'll take the smaller, comfortable, light weight GMT any day of the week.

Easy to read at a glance, a nod to the history alone makes this modern icon the easy choice for me. YMMV

I have both, Pepsi and Skydweller. Both are stunning and have their pluses and minuses. Try both on and go with your gut. If funds permit, get both and add a Hulk/Kermit and Daytona. That’s an awesome 4 watch set. :-)

Other than nickname, the Pepsi is still several levels lower in terms of complications.

The Sky Dweller is a superior watch regardless of dial color.

if you have a small wrist - get gmt. if you have a large wrist - maybe SkyD, if you like the dial / look.

personally, not a fan of SkyD's looks. wouldn't wear one even if I can get one for free.

I think it depends on what else you have. If it’s your only watch I’d go Pepsi. More versatile in my opinion. Otherwise I’d probably pick the SkyD if I had other things to rotate with.

The BLRO is a great watch but no way a BLRO of msrp $9800.00 is worth the same as a Sky Dweller in my horological world.

That said, the GMT is a more casual look where the Sky Dweller is more upscale looking. Personal style should be factored into the equation.

Sky D for me. Easy choice. They wear and look so different on the wrist. It will be an easy choice if you can try them both on.

SkyD no question for me. Tried the Black on last week as my AD suggested it’s not as big as I thought on my wrist—and he was right! Simply stunning...

It depends what other watches you own.

In your description it says you already own a BLRO, so I’m guessing you’re considering to swap it for a SkyDweller:

I have both watches and my BLRO is more versatile.

I really wanted the SkyD and already had a TT SkyD when my AD offered me a BLRO. I quite liked it but wasn’t hysterically looking for it.

BLRO is now my most frequently worn (so most versatile) out of all these:
