Bluesy or Pepsi

Currently own a 116710LN that I absolutely love, but want some color in my selection (other watches are black or white). Have my name at the AD for a BLRO. To be honest, I have not seen this watch in person...
That being said, I've tried on the bluesy several times and absolutely love it. Does anybody own both of these watches, and if so, what are your takes on the bluesy vs pepsi debate?

Personally I would get the Bluesy since you already have the 116710LN.

I own and love both...for their own reasons! The blue dial is stunning on the Bluesy but if I’m being totally honest, the Pepsi I find is much easier to wear with all attires

Given that there is no ETA, I am leaning towards getting the Bluesy now and scratching the itch!

I own both, and the BLRO is obviously harder to get, and more desirable. Still, I really really love my blue Sub, and I wear it as often as I can. More often than my Pepsi. If you disregard the desirability factor, I'd probably pick the Sub.

The bluesy as far as I can recall was the first Rolex I fancied in my youth and when I began liking Rolex.

You got a GMT already. Get the Bluesy.

Dont get suckered into paying for the BLRO if you dont REALLY love it - its not worth the asking price if the love is really not there for this model. Trust me after the honeymoon period its all the same and the next "want" comes along.

Last I was in my AD in Omaha (Gunderson's Jewelers) they had a Bluesy in their display case. Give 'em a call!

I would go with the Blue Sub as you know you love it and its probably easier to get on your wrist than the BLRO.

I vote bluesy! That's towards the top of my to 'acquire' list as well.

I feel like your 116710LN would be interchangeable with the BLRO as an all attire sport watch with the same GMT complication. I have a Tudor GMT and don't think I would get a black sub or GMT unless I traded it.

Bluesy could be used for different occasions and in my opinion is very different from what you already have.

I'm leaning this way!

Just did! Going to think it over, whether to go with your AD or put in a request at my AD to get the bluesy to build a greater history with them

I say pull the trigger. The new relationship certainly couldn’t hurt anything!
