Hello TRF,

I thought this would a fun topic for to discuss with all of you.

I currently own the Pepsi BLRO, it ticks all my boxes and I have no plans of flipping it. I would like your opinion on what watch from any other brand that would compete with the BLRO on the similar price point but it must follow these conditions:

1. Must have a GMT function.
2. Must have a see through case back.
3. Does not have to be a PM model.
4. Must be under 35,000 US$
5. Metal, Leather, Rubber, etc. bracelet/ strap is fine.

Looking forward to your opinion!!

Patek nautilus (5726) can be had in mint condition for 35k. Aquanaut (5164) would save you a lot of money and also get you the gmt function.

My vote is for 5164 - easy choice since you have Pepsi BLRO.
Best GMT function IMO.
I am still considering one at some point.
Honestly for under $35,000 and meeting all your criteria, I don't think there is much competition, except, well the watch you have.

Yes, 5164

48 x 17 is a big puppy.

More like a diving weight.

Two beauties! I would also add the VCO grey and AP RO blue Dual times but think the two in the pic are my preferences. For dressier, a Lange Saxonia GMT.
