Thinking about

Getting rid of one. I’m thinking I should keep the Pepsi and SD43. What do y’all think?

I know the Pepsi and the BLNR are the most sought after, but I’m like why have two of the same ones. I have a bigger wrist for the 43 and I love the Pepsi. Right now I also have an offer of 13k from crown and caliber for the BLNR. But I love the BLNR, love the blue. It’s a hard decision. Either way I have 10k now on my credit card and I have to pay it off one watch or another lol

Your Pepsi blue seems brighter than mine. It’s like it’s keeps getting darker... maybe it’s gets so dark, it turns black and vuala Rolex reintroduces the Coke

Sell the BLNR. The SD43 and the Pepsi are the perfect sports combo.

The obvious answer is keep the GMT that you prefer and the SD43. No need to have two identical watches

Agree. If you don’t mind me asking, which gmt did you get first and what was your reason for getting the second one? That would help identify the rationale for keeping or eliminating one.

Obviously it’s personal preference. I’ve owned all three (ok 4 if you want to include the Dblue) and what remains with me are the 126710blro and the 126600 SeaDweller.

I love the historical significance of the original SeaDweller and the SD43 is a modern interpretation of the original reference from 1967. I was born in 1967 as well which makes this reference feel a bit like a kindred spirit, so I was sold on it the minute it was announced.

The BLRO is the modern interpretation of the first pilots watch designed in collaboration with PanAm which makes it feel special to me. I was also a huge Magnum PI fan and always loved seeing him wear his “Pepsi”.

What a great problem to have...between the three of those I’d move the BLNR as well.

I would figure out a way to keep all three. Each unique. I would hold for awhile.
