Over what period of time?

What kind of return are you looking to get?

Forget about values, just get the one that you love. Watches are not investments.

Both will probably never lose value if bought at MSRP. Get the one you like.

I’d assume Pepsi would as it’s the classic. Now if they make them forever and the BLNR stopped production soon then maybe long term that’s better.

This sums it up.

BLRO will have better immediate resale value. BLNR will shoot up in value once it’s discontinued.

Discontinued? it just got released!!

Buy what you like more and if you like them both equally then get whichever you can get your hands on! They both are very hard to get!!

It’s safe to assume it will be discontinued at some point. Maybe 2 years, maybe 20.

I’d also bet the Pepsi will be replaced again at some point in the future.

BLNR jubilee trading slightly higher from what I can see, but it’s just released.
It’s really up to which you prefer...personally I plan to add both.

Don't buy a watch for what you think what you think they may be worth, buy it for what it means to you. You'll be much happier in the long run.

You are buying a "stock" it's peak.

Let me give you this advice. The BLNR is Google and the BLRO is apple stocks.

That sums it up. Good luck buying in a pseudo stock market at it's high. The problem here is that we don't interrogate their AFS to to due diligence.

Their value is reliant on consumers.

If you were buying from an AD, you can't go wrong. IPO value dude.

This, for sure. The ultimate difference is resale will be negligible.

The 16700 is my favorite rolex, regardless of value. I just wish I’d bought and held one year’s ago.
