An original or the new version?

vinny84 · 5 January 2019, 02:47 AM

Blro

Roger Lococco · 5 January 2019, 02:49 AM

I had a Pepsi 16710 for 15 years. It was a fantastic watch. I loved it. Wore it every day and everywhere I went.

I just received a Pepsi 126710. It's a fantastic watch. I love it.

In my view, the new model is better - although perhaps only slightly. It fits me better, although this is at the margins. It has a better movement, although the older version was a great movement. The bracelet is notably better. I much prefer the larger crown.

Both great watches. I picked the modern Pepsi. Many posters here will choose the 'vintage' one ...

brucethemanlee · 5 January 2019, 02:51 AM

If I had to buy one or the either today I'd buy NEW to get the latest and greatest. I don't necessarily want to wear watch with 30-40 years old of mileage on it

However if it was NOS vs. the new Pepsi? I'd go for NOS

Tough to choose as having both is the perfect duo! If I had to, it would be the BLRO though. It's very nice to see that you don't have to choose!

123Blueface · 5 January 2019, 02:53 AM

Love both but would prefer SS BLRO.
I am not a vintage fan. Prefer more modern look and features/movement.

Bulldog21 · 5 January 2019, 03:01 AM

BLRO for me

Yeldraw · 5 January 2019, 03:02 AM

BLRO for me.

Pauln · 5 January 2019, 03:05 AM

Both fantastic, but BLRO is the winner for me.

opawlows · 5 January 2019, 03:05 AM

New Version for me.

adawil2002 · 5 January 2019, 03:09 AM

Prefer the aesthetics of the older GMT with the smaller markers.

Gave my wife the newer version; it’s not sized for my wrist, either.

samson66 · 5 January 2019, 03:12 AM

Although I love the five digit references, the new models just offer so many advancements and improvements that I'd have to go six digit. Bracelet, ceramic bezel, newer movement just put it way ahead in my mind.

novae500 · 5 January 2019, 03:15 AM

If you want the latest technology, then BLRO. I like the oyster band vs jubilet band.

jed11 · 5 January 2019, 03:15 AM

Modern version

DLRIDES · 5 January 2019, 03:16 AM

The blue and red one ! The pink and purple watch is sorta weird looking.

Maiden · 5 January 2019, 03:19 AM

Mint original for me, then would switch the bezel to coke.

[QUOTE=casadecamporolex;9230322]An original or the new version?[/QUOTE

Old Pepsi, and it’s not even a close horse race.

1watch · 5 January 2019, 03:32 AM

Are they both yours? based on pics the vintage looks to be in good shape. If the question is which to buy vs which to wear, then I say vintage.

t65tampa · 5 January 2019, 03:32 AM

New one for me. I really don't like the folded metal clasps on the 5 digit watches and I like the Maxi dials and broader cases with the 6 digit models.

Nice pair, by the way.

zjd168 · 5 January 2019, 03:37 AM

of course the 6 digit version, to me there is no contest

Jg422 · 5 January 2019, 03:37 AM

BLRO but WG oyster bracelet

Hkspwrsche · 5 January 2019, 03:39 AM

I have an M Pepsi last of the non ceramic. I prefer the look of the pre ceramic Pepsi and oyster bracelet but, there is no denying that Rolex has improved the new one.

Justindo · 5 January 2019, 03:41 AM

I prefer the looks of the new version better and the quality is much better as well.

Sublovin · 5 January 2019, 04:19 AM

Based on looks..older version.
Don’t like the jubilee and the new bezel looks plastic

WristCheckDaily · 5 January 2019, 04:20 AM

I’m not a huge fan of the old style, def new for me
