rolex pepsi for bluesy
I have a 2020 unworn BLRO pepsi would I be crazy to trade it for a new unworn 41mm blusey?

I would say no, you won’t be crazy, if the bluesy is the one you really enjoy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Definitely not a bad trade but wouldn’t hurt to ask for a little cash as well

rolex pepsi for bluesy
I own both and much prefer the bluesy...but it does stand out a bit.
It’s the perfect summer watch IMO. Glidelock for the win. You should easily be able to sell the unworn Pepsi for 17-18 and pick up a bluesy for 15ish Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Not for me but if you prefer the sub go for it.

I have both and love both! Def wouldn’t be able to choose one over the other, but the Pepsi is easier to wear everyday.

Between the two, I prefer the bluesy…I’m a Glidelock fan.
Value-wise, seems adequate, but if you’re collecting a few bucks too, even better. I’d say go for it if the TT sub sings to you. |

I love both of these watches, but I definitely prefer the LB. I would not recommend making this trade, unless you truly do not care for the BLRO.
The LB is fairly easy to get at retail. The BLRO is very (x10) difficult to find at retail. If you have any regrets, you will have a heck of a time replacing the BLRO. Keep the one you’ve got, and add the LB when you get the chance. They make for a great pair of watches! Good Luck! |

Both are great watches. I personally wouldn't don it, but if you must, get some cash back.

Though I much prefer the bluesy (126613LB), I wouldn’t recommend letting go of the Pepsi. It’s hard to come by and over time, will appreciate so much in value, you’d regret selling it. I’d say save up and add the bluesy to the collection.

I would hold onto it most definitely. I'm waiting almost 3 years now to get a Pepsi GMT. The bluesy was my first luxury swiss watch, bought in 2012 with discount.

Whichever you like more is what you should go home with. Me? I’d keep the Pepsi.

Sell the BLRO, buy the SUB at MSRP. You should end up with a few k of spare cash.

rolex pepsi for bluesy
Not even up. I prefer the blusey, but the BLRO is worth more on the used
market, right? Also, BLRO could be worth a lot more down the road (at least I think so). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I prefer the Pepsi and would not do the trade without 4-5k coming back my way. Keep the Pepsi and save up for a pre-owned 116613LB and you will have two great watches.

If at all possible, figure out how to keep yours and add the Bluesy. I sincerely regret every Rolex I let get away over the years.

Based on current value you should get some cash but the actual trade I personally would do it all day long as I can not stand the jubilee bracelet.

Only a bad trade if you don't want to do it.
I prefer the 11/126613LB to the BLRO |

The watch you prefer will be the one to keep or obtain. I can't tell you which one you prefer. If you don't know either, then stick. If you love them equally, then keep saving and own both. They would be a spectacular pairing.

If you prefer the Submariner to the GMT, do it!

I wouldn’t do the trade but if you like the bluesy better than do it. However, I wouldn’t trade. I’d sell the BLRO for top market dollar and then put my name on the list at the AD and pocket or invest the rest

I wouldn’t, but I tend to not like TT watches.

Tell us some more about the trade so we can decide if you're crazy or not.

I like both models but I would give the edge to the BLRO. It literally goes with everything and the jubilee bracelet is so darn comfortable despite not having the glide lock.

Do it and get some cash. I’m in the minority that doesn’t care for the BLRO, especially with the jubilee.
