Tough choice between these 2

Trying to hunt the full PM a while now to add to my collection but still not dare enough to pull the trigger, mess up in brain . the WG Pepsi, YG Sub, RG GMT all are stunning and interested in these two but can’t get them both at the same time. Which one is better option and u guy like?

I am struggling with the same decision and have to say I am leaning towards the 126618LB. While I do love the 126715CHNR I am afraid the allure of rose gold may wear off over the years. The yellow gold sub I just don't see going out of style for me, ever.

All this being said if I could get a Meteorite Dial Pepsi GMT at MSRP no other PM sport model would even be in the running.

It is hard to get the WG Pepsi Meteorite Dial at MSRP , it would be a long line to wait even though the WG Pepsi blue dial it hard to get too. The price of YG Sub is crazy now new unworn around 37K-39K on grey dealer, how about 126618LB ?

I’m a yellow gold guy. Tried on the everose last weekend and it’s very feminine IMO. I know I’ll get diss for that, but it’s my impression.

I own a YG sub and it sings, get it and don’t look back.

Blue without a doubt. I would wait until the newer version hits the stores to see if you prefer the 11 series or the 12.

The. blue dial beats the black dial. But the GMT is more useful. Looks=Sub; Function=GMT.

How can you beat the YG Blue? Amazing, crazily cool, and will never go out of style. Plus it seems a bit more conservative, but awesome at the same time!

I don't think I've ever heard the YG Blue sub described as "conservative" . It is the exact opposite. It is one of the biggest "slap in the face" watches out there. Everyone knows that you're rocking tens of thousands on your wrist, and those who know watches know its more in the 35-40k range. For people who don't think about money, they'll see the bling on this one from across a football stadium. It's LOUD, but that's also part of the appeal. .

Ok- just my opinion, and worth the price. You can have yours, but no need to disparage someone else’s, dude....

You aint going to get better than this my friend. The CHNR is nice but compare it next to the full gold Bluesy its no competition. I recently made the EXACT same choice your doing now. I ended up with the below. To be honest it wasnt that hard of a choice once I was holding both in my hand to compare.

Its absolutely gorgeous mate. That picture I posted shows it nicely but nothing is better than seeing it in person.

Yeah I would say go get it asap the prices of these things are gone crazy as well.

They are trading upwards of $38k - $40k USD now on the gray market. Seem to be going up in price by the week and the 116618LB is now discontinued but the RG GMT will have another 8+ years production at least.

Stunning pic but the real thing is indeed much nicer.

Both are nice. Personally I like the Rootbeer, I think the colors of the bezel go perfectly with the gold.

Meteorite Pepsi is the only PM GMT that trumps the FU sub. Blue and gold is beautiful.
