Very Random Choice - Pepsi or Celebration

Going to purchase a celebratory present for the birth of my first born/daughter. To mark the occasion I am debating between a GMT Pepsi w/an Oyster Bracelet or a Celebration Dial Oyster Perpetual. The Pepsi is of course would be more of a reasonable choice but given the occasion I wasn't sure if I should do something a little different. What do you all think?!

For her or for yourself?

Celebration is cool, my wife just got the Tiffany. It’s the perfect women’s watch imo. I would never wear it myself.

Depends what else you have.

Considering the context, the Celebration has a strong argument on being chosen.

For a one and only though (or very small collection), it should be the GMT. I’d nudge you towards a jubilee bracelet too.

You should try it on, lol. It looks great on women, but it legit looked like a clown watch on me as a male. Laughable really.

But hey different strokes for different folks, maybe you like it.

Celebration I hope will age well by the time she's old enough to wear it, but Pepsi overall would be the more useful watch.

The problem with the Pepsi is whether she will have a wrist large enough to wear it.

Neither. I would get a more traditional color OP or a 36mm DJ.

Get the one you like for you. When her time comes your daughter will either cherish it, give it away or sell it. There's no way you can read her mind or see into the future.

Congratulations on both counts.

If I were in your shoes and I had that money to spare, I would put it in a stock fund for her to help pay for her college education. That could grow to quite a handsome sum in 18 years.

The more I see the celebration the less I like it, pepsi continues to seduce so extremely easy decision for me.
