How many BLNR owners will be jumping ship for new Pepsi?

I love my BLNR even more after seeing the new Pepsi. I’m glad it lives on but it doesn’t look good with that jubilee. I couldn’t care less about the “new” case (which looks the same) or the new movement since my 3186 is spot on.

So how many BLNR owners will be selling theirs once they get the Pepsi?

I just can't do a sports model on a jubilee, simple as that. Otherwise I would be interested (I'm not a BLNR owner)

Ditto, would never sell, plus will be disco in less than a year and worth 15k in 5 years.

Time will be kind.

I kind of like the Jubilee bracelet and updated movement would be nice but....I still prefer the blue/black bezel AND my BLNR is still new and running fine. Won't be changing.

I haven't got a BLNR & wouldn't sell it because of this release either If I did ,but Personally I think Rolex have nailed it with the Jubilee. And we all know that next year ,the same watch will be available on Oyster with PCLs .

I got a Datejust 41 on Jubilee recently, so that itch has been scratched in my collection. I agree with you in that I prefer more sporty models on Oyster. Don't get me wrong, if I could purchase both bracelets and interchange them, I would. But if I only have the option of the LN or BLNR on Oyster, I am still very happy with my BLNR.

The BLNR will be discontinued in the next one to two years! Doesn’t make any sense to keep all three. So I am keeping it !

I prefer the Black Blue of the BLNR. I would rather add a jubilee bracelet to my BLNR than get the new Pepsi.

I still prefer the BLNR, so keeping it for sure. And Pepsi ceramic bezel is not like the original bezel of past, so that likely will keep me away since I already have the original version!

I just can't stand the pastel colors on the pepsi. If they could get the colors right I would consider it but for now the BLNR stays.

Not me. I have a 16710 with coke, pepsi, and black bezel inserts. I'm keeping my BLNR and notes buying the new GMT

Do not like Jubilee bracelets at all. Zero interest in anything with one. Should have also offered it on an Oyster bracelet too. Clearly making it in WG was a bomb.

I may consider adding it to my BLNR but not anytime soon!

The BLNR is with all honesty the perfect translation of GMT day and night color combination. I get the Pepsi is the original colors but hey, I’m moving forward with the times, not backwards.

Plus, they didn’t seem to fix the issue trying to die the red to make a blue - this still purple-ish. Much prefer the blue on the BLNR.

Wait, will the Batman remain in the portfolio next to the new Pepsi?
Does this make sense?
I will keep mine and maybe go Pepsi in 2021, once they are available...

I love my BLNR and won't be replacing it with the new pepsi and don't find jubilee bracelets very comfortable.

I would need to see the new bi-colour brown-black in the flesh as I'm not sure about the salmon coloured numerals on the bezel - but maybe tempted into that for a change.

If I can use an oyster bracelet on the BLRO SS sure why not add it, if I cannot? My blnr staying put. I dont like the jubilee let alone with a clasp. Now if it was a full SS presidential, that would be wild.
