LV

But mostly because I already own a 16750 BLRO and I do not own any LV variants.

If I did not own that vintage Pepsi, I would pick the current BLRO over the LV.

Pepsi for me. Restaurants are closed over here anyway....

All the talk of baselworld was pretty much consumed with the excitement surrounding the SS BLRO... The hype surrounding the Pepsi, with its history and heritage, the hype which is pretty huge considering that it is over double MSRP and has maintained such for over 2 years now, really speaks for itself.

I have all the hard to get stainless steel watches that I want in the Rolex catalog, and discontinued 116610LV, including the white 500 LN, and I have the beloved 116618LB, but out of all of them, the Pepsi has gotten the most wrist time and it's probably my favorite out of all my timepieces.

I have thought a lot about this comment and have come to the conclusion this is my favorite post ever. Claiming a watch is not suitable for restaurants is next level insanity/genius.

Pepsi

BTenn · 6 November 2020, 12:50 PM

I'm really glad I started this little post, very interesting thoughts and answers have come from it. I guess If I didn't have such a car addiction I would go for both. They are indeed great watches in their own ways however I'm only going for one or the other as of now. Looks like I'm still leaning towards the LV, but to eaches own right? Not to mention its the same color as my favorite on a car, a deep green.

Lol, this cracks me up, considering I just came back from a swanky restaurant which I wore my Pepsi to

majority who voted pepsi, probably havent had the chance to even see the new kermit in the flesh, pepsi been around for couple years now

BTenn · 6 November 2020, 03:00 PM

Why is the Pepsi a few k less expensive on the gray market than the Kermit if its that much more desirable? MSRP KERMIT $9550, Pepsi are hundred more. Just doesn't make any sense to me at all. That is all I am saying, supply and demand right?

Because it’s the new kid on the block. Though, It’s been trending down and should settle lower than a Pepsi.

safwan · 6 November 2020, 03:33 PM

Pepsi, it's going to be.

SS Oyster · 6 November 2020, 07:33 PM

BLRO Pepsi

rallyx · 8 November 2020, 07:13 AM

It’s election season, get the red n blue.

Kiddodoc · 8 November 2020, 09:08 AM

Pepsi! Not a fan of the new LV. Prefer the hulk.

Texex · 8 November 2020, 09:13 AM

Blro

HiDive · 8 November 2020, 09:48 AM

Absolutely the Kermit.

I already have a Pepsi.

Pepsi!! All day everyday and twice on Sunday!

subtona · 8 November 2020, 11:49 AM

Both are fantastic.

For me, the choice is always the sub...

I would choose the cermit without question.

Pepsi is a bit more flashy if that tilts your decision one way or the other?

Bill11783 · 2 December 2020, 02:33 PM

Recently picked up my 1st Rolex. Made a list of 4 that I wanted...in the following order favorite first...1). Pepsi, 2). Batman, 3). Kermit, 4). Black Date Sub. Would have been happy with any of these fine time pieces . Very happy to report I was fortunate to obtain the Pepsi!!! Thrilled and thankful.
Another vote for Pepsi👍

viper · 2 December 2020, 08:39 PM

Kermit for me!

Pepsi comes with Jubilee bracelet but new Kermit comes with Oyster bracelet, Jubilee bracelet always cost more than Oyster bracelet.

Easy choice for me. The Pepsi

BroncoOne · 2 December 2020, 11:26 PM

Pepsi. Any GMT for that mattter.

jankymutt · 2 December 2020, 11:34 PM

Pepsi, but only IF I could NOT walk out with both! :)

The blue and red bezel, comfortable bracelet, and Gmt function definitely beat out the sub!

I own Pepsi & Kermit and to me, it's even. Fortunately, I didn't have to just pick one over the other. When I travel, it's with Pepsi on my wrist.
