TT Blusey or Pepsi
So I have a decent purchase history at my AD since 2017. Purchased 5 Rolex and 2 Cartier watches.
I've been waiting for my ship to come in for a Pepsi for a little over a year now. However, the two tone blusey is starting to grow on me....since it's the sub that really pops. Should I continue to wait for the pepsi or call my SA to add the blusey to the wishlist? |

This is completely subjective unless you're talking about resale value. Personally, I'd go with the Pepsi unless the full gold sub was possible. I can't imagine getting a two tone for any reference but that is just my taste.

They’re such very different pieces. Does it have to be either/or?

Seems like you want the Pepsi, so that.

Bluesy is easier to get. I'd choose the Pepsi, and then ask for the Bluesy.

It would be pepsi for me. The two-tone Bluesy is a handsome watch, but to me the GMT's dual time zone complication wins out.

That is a tough one I would probably go with the BLRO.

It'd be easier to ask for the Bluesy. Shoot for the BLRO and then come back for the Bluesy

If you already bought 7 watches and want a bluesy just get the bluesy while waiting on the Pepsi. Two totally different pieces and they both have a place in a collection.

If you’re buying at retail from an AD then it has to be Pepsi.
Complete opposite buying grey though, Bluesy much better value |

Do you want a diver or a GMT?
Sounds like you want both. It's easy to see why. They are unlikely to turn up simultaneously. |

Two completely different watches. Two completely different occasions.

Your choice. I'd wait it out for the BLRO.

It would depend on what else you have in your collection and if you want a diver or a gmt.
If you don’t have either then both is usually the answer |

For me a Diver is more useful than a GMT. What works for you?

I agree with getting what you truly want first and foremost. It can be hard resisting going after the pieces that are hardest to obtain. If you requested the BLRO because you really wanted it, don’t settle.
However if it’s just the hype, see if you can find a Bluesy to try? |

I have had many different watches and just can’t get enough of the bluesy. It is all I go for now. On this forum Pepsi will win. But if you asked people outside this forum, from a wow standpoint, the bluesy would win. One of the best looking Rolex’s out there. From an AD, it is also 5k more, so there is that. Really like the blue much more on the bluesy bezel. 174F0B5F-AD00-4F1A-867C-64BDF066E154.jpeg
