Keep both. They are beautiful watches. Hulk is stunning though.

I’d keep the Pepsi. If money is not a big issue, you could potentially sell the Hulk as a head only and keep the Oyster bracelet to wear on your Pepsi (just use the original GMT springbars).

Can you do that? Would the oyster braclet on the Hulk fit in the Pepsi?

Works for mine...

Maybe post a pic of your watches and collection — seeing them, and how they wear on your wrist will help the group make recommendations to you.

Keep both, great combo, same, but different, two separate styles and looks.

Sub and gmt
Green and red/blue
Oyster and jubilee

Great combo, but like the Hulk better, the dial is magic.

You are in an envious position. You have all the parts (especially the most hard to get Pepsi watch head!) you need to try different looks. Swap out the sub bracelet onto the Pepsi before you sell anything.

I’m actually looking for an oyster braclet for the Pepsi but I need a GMT stainless steel so I can buy it from Rolex. They won’t sell me a gmt oyster braclet with my Pepsi I need to bring one with a oyster configuration.

I'm not saying get a GMT PCL Oyster, I'm saying use the Sub Oyster and that also gets you glidelock bracelet.

Just swap the bracelets to see how they feel since you already own both watches, Hulk and Pepsi. Just be sure to use the springbars from the Pepsi. The hulk spring bars will be too big to use for the Pepsi.

That gives you a feel of what the combo is like. And of course, if you want PCL, then that will take some work to track down.

I saw one for the first time in the metal this year. Much as I liked it, I was not prepared for how utterly gorgeous it was when I handled it. I can't justify spending that much on a watch. But I will love it from afar. And the more afar the better as far as my bank balance is concerned.

I prefer the Hulk. I don't like the Pepsi all that much so I wouldn't buy one. This is why I own a Hulk.

What you like is not really for me to say.

If a SS Pepsi (or Coke) was available as a current model on an Oyster bracelet I would probably be a lot more interested. Along with all the other thousands queuing in front of me.

I understand what you are saying about the Jubilee bracelet. I think it looks far to fussy on a more modern, wider lugged GMT Master. This factored in when I ordered my TT CHNR., which I hope to see in a couple of years. If it ditches the Oyster bracelet and goes Jubilee I will cancel. I have seen conversions along the lines you propose. At least two with pictures in here IIRC.

The question is which one wins more votes from people ??? It's crazy as some live through the eyes of others or what they think ... on my side I do not care, and I have a passion for watchmaking.

In short, I also have both. I will say that they are complementary, diver, the other GMT.
If there should be one, I will say that we should fix its needs.
I keep both, perfect duo.

Pepsi for me. The hulk never gets a look in.







I'll probably trade the Hulk for something else soon but don't know what yet. I bought a 72600 Bracelet from the DJ which fits the Pepsi nicely.
