Hypothetical trade

[alex.cicollo]

Hypothetical trade, considering my options.

BNIB Pepsi 2020, unused, new warranty card, and would like a Hulk.

Would you trade the Pepsi for a Hulk?

Love both, but love the Hulk a tad bit more...

What do you guys think? Keep the Pepsi, or find a willing trading partner?

[m0butt]

I love the Pepsi quite a bit more than the Hulk. But I’m not even a Hulk fan and I own a Pepsi so clearly I’m biased.

I wear both. While generally I prefer Subs, I would keep the BLRO over the LV Sub if I had to chose. The BLRO is my favorite modern watch. Just so easy to wear.

I'd keep the BLRO and add a Hulk in due course. I love my Hulk. I understand why people lust for the 116610LV as they do. It is unique and stunning - if you like that kind of thing. I bought it grey because I couldn't get listed anywhere. But I wouldn't part with a BLRO if I owned one.

I guess it comes down to how much you want it. If you must have it, have the resources and can do the deal, it's yours. Looks like you're leaning towards green. I'd still aim to own both in due course if possible, but I'm not you.

You can't lose really.

Pepsi.

Pepsi and it’s not even close. Cue the Hulk squad but I don’t think the green dial will age well. Bezel, sure, but everything green is a bit much. Pepsi has been cool for many years and will continue to do so.

I love both watches equally. Try to have both or pick the one YOU like best.

[HideMyWalletPlease]

I have both. Glidelock oyster makes me love Hulk more.

[Tanvo]

Would keep the BLRO.

[scombs263]

I love both, but Pepsi is head and shoulders above the Hulk.

I own both and would keep the Pepsi over the Hulk. I also would not trade a Pepsi for a Hulk if I did not own one.

+1. I find myself favoring the Pepsi in most occasions except when my outfit calls for the Hulk.

[Benzsiam]

I love both, keep your Pepsi and save more money to get the Hulk.
It's better to keep both.

[Hollie_Rollie]

I would not do this trade. Keep the Pepsi and hunt the new Kermit.

[Manu74]

Do the trade if you like the Hulk more.
But get both if you can.

Is there any way to add the Hulk? The grass isn’t always greener (so to speak)

What else is in your collection? If given only these two options, I'd stick the BLRO. It's more versatile with a more useful complication if you ask me.

Agree 100%. I would keep the GMT.

Harder for me to say then. You have several redundancies. Personally, I only collect one of each reference. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with what you are doing. Given what I know now; I'd sell the BLNR Jubilee, keep the BLRO, and purchase the LV.

Thank you - I do realise the redundancies.... re the Daytona - they’ll both stay - as is a watch I can’t stop looking at when I’m wearing. The BLNR or BLRO are a different matter - I prefer the NR by a smidge over the RO, hence me considering the late Sub Green ....

Everyone - thank you so much for all your messages. I need to do some thinking now! I am very grateful for all your contributions! They have given me a lot of food for thought. Thank you kindly.

Move the BLNR and SubC towards Hulk. Problem solved. Have your cake and eat it too.

[Tele59]

Get the Hulk now and never look back!

[subprimero]

I would keep what you have.

[spare]

I own neither, as I prefer the BLNR and the black sub vs their respective counterparts.

However, if someone would offer either I'd definitely favor the BLRO.
In the end, you choose whatever speaks to you most. You are however trying to get a Hulk amidst a frenzy for that watch, so possibly worst possible timing.

I do think you’re right - I’m being really considered to this choice as I don’t like the state of the market and these silly prices requested. I keep looking at prices on eBay and many pieces at around £18k are just being relisted.

I’m sure some people are buying them - but as I have only bought from ADs so far I begrudge these inflated prices....

First world problem I know, but annoying nevertheless.

[kwingy]

As long as it's a straight trade - I would do it personally. I prefer the Oyster Bracelet and Glidelock.

Good point. Indeed. BNIB for BNIB, straight trade. That’s how I’d imagine it.

[Seddyspaghetti]

If you want the hulk go for the hulk!

In terms of value they're about the same with the hulk valued a bit higher due to discontinuation.
