Depends if your AD will even look twice at you if they know you have sold the pepsi

I know it sounds daft but its the age we live in

Pepsi is all hype as of now, new production and will be here for another 10 years or so, by then the Pepsi might be in the display case and people would just walk pass by. Batman is long gone and discontinue (you already know what happen when Rolex stop making certain sport professional watches). Batman will be hard to find in the long run.
Sell the Pepsi while it’s hot and pricey and use it for Daytona.

I think i'm going to keep all 4 for now and decide what to do later!



Exciting....


Good decision! And congrats!

Maybe a post for a different topic, but.... What’ll happen to the now-coveted BLROs once Rolex figures out how/decides to make the blue and red ceramic more like the original? (more vivid/brighter) Hublot recently began producing a true red ceramic. Seems it was a difficult thing to do. Do y’all think Rolex will be that far behind in “improving” the Pepsi bezel? At least the Batman has no predecessor to live up to.

Colours on Batman are far nicer than on that new Pepsi IMO

Honestly I would keep all four but that’s just my opinion if need be I do agree with most here no need for two GMTs in your collection

I’d sell the Pepsi—the BLNR is money. I would not sell that for a Pepsi.

If you can afford it I would keep all 4...... if you MUST let go of one, it would be the BLNR (with a tear in my eye)

A new wife will be easier (and cheaper) to source than those 4 watches

Life is not perfect. If I were you, I'll let the Batman goes because I don't need two GMT.

Sounds like you can keep all four so why not? You can’t lose and can always sell later.

At this rate, you will be back here next month saying your AD has a blue SS SkyD with your name on it and you'll be deciding which of the 4 need to go. Fast forward through a new thread and you'll have five watches (LV, BLNR, BLRO, White DaytonaC, and Blue SkyD) and be deemed king of the SS Rolex Supply Shortage of 2018.
