Originally picked up a batgirl .. changed my mind and sourced a new Pepsi.
Love them both but the iconic nature of Pepsi was a must have.

Yes! Congrats, OP! I hope trading one nearly identical watch for another has brought you the fulfillment you’ve been longing for!
Nearly identical is not identical. This one is the only true GMT II. All others do not compare.
Tell us how. Ad. Spend history.
Watch guy has connections. These ADs sell to their friends knowing they go for more in grey market and can make more — AD and middle men make the margin instead of customer waiting 2 years… Crazy game but everyone knows it happens.
So you went grey?
Yes. Impatient. Paid up for what I wanted. Easier.
Respect. I’m patient and, more importantly, too “poor” to afford the grey price.
Thanks buddy for sharing. How much of a premium?
I own both. I find that batgirl matches better with any outfit. Red can be a bit tricky. For this reason, if I HAD to keep one it would be batgirl. But you got a classic, and it’s gorgeous. Congrats.
I get maybe matching to your dial but your bezel?
The bezel is often louder than the dial. Particularly on a Pepsi. I’ll give you an example of what I mean by matching. I’m going on a cruise in a couple of weeks. I hate traveling with multiple watches, so I’m only taking one watch. Batgirl is the perfect watch for this occasion. I can wear any color outfit and it matches/doesn’t clash. I can wear it to the beach in shorts or I can wear it for the gala at night. I’m not wearing a watch with blue and red bezel while wearing a black suit or a tux. Not saying that batgirl is ideal for a tux, but it works. Especially with the jubilee.
I get it.
Just saying, I don’t think the bezel screams as loud as you think it does
👌🏼
Super clean
Clean or “clean”
Which watch stand is that?
Solid wood watch stand off amazon
Thank you
Here’s the Amazon link:
Woodten Solid Wood Single Watch... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C6M4N8SN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
The 21k watch on a $25 Amazon fake leather stand 🌝
Appreciate the link. Have a good day and enjoy your new watch.
Love the Pepsi!
Enjoy the new piece
What a jerk…!!! Congratulations man…
👏🏾
Was the batgirl work friendly? Or was it to dressy?
It’s all personal. I think both work friendly. Batgirl def more modern, classy, arguably a bit more dressy. Pepsi is .. Pepsi. Iconic. Likely discontinued at some point.. we’ll see.
Nah. Rotated in/out of the catalog, but never gone. It's the original GMT and Rolex is deeply rooted in tradition. They'll never truly end the Pepsi.
Congrats!
It’s the best looking watch of all time IMO
Gorgeous unboxing!!
I made the same switch myself. Owned an original BLNR. I prefer Pepsi. If it’s good enough for Phillipe dufour, it’s good enough for me!
I own the batgirl and can see myself doing this
Love the Pepsi but I would struggle to make that choice. The batgirl is beautiful.
agreed both beautiful
Smart man
FTW
Is the price of a Pepsi much higher than for a Batgirl?
Quite a bit. 5k+ more grey.
ok, wow. i thought about it, but didn't know this price difference. thanks.
Nice Watch man. I have the BLNR💪🏻
My AD wouldn’t even put me on a waitlist
Bad trade
Are you happy?
How much did you pay for it? And what year is it
New. 2024. $21750.
Should have kept both
Beautiful watch
Congrats. I went the opposite direction but no wrong answers here.
Jubilee Pepsi is the move.
Congrats man and great decision not waiting and going gray 👊🏼
worth it, rather than wait 3 years. and 3 years later the price at AD would have gone up anyway.
weird post, explanation for “switching” and it looks like a rep.
Lmao please explain how it looks like a rep? None of the photos are high enough resolution to make any discerning observations.
The box presentation is a dead give away
seriously???? Lugs, bezel insert color/blend, xtal, lots wrong here. Not to mention that China town awful box. LOOK AT THE BOXED CLOSED. Wtf is that ???
Bold words coming from a guy who has an entire collection of reps, including a Pepsi rep that looks comically bad compared to this supposed rep. The photo resolution isn’t really that great in any of the OP’s photos, but what I can tell you is that aside from my agreement with you over the top of the box when it’s closed, which could be subject to the lighting, this looks infinitely better than your rep with its awful rehaut, obnoxiously large crown, small crown guards, and bezel coloring that is off compared to a genuine.
i think you just rattled off everything that i already pointed out about this rep 🤣🤣🤣
Yup it is 🤣
Bought batgirl CPO. Returned it 48 hours later. Sourced new Pepsi. Rep? No. Verified @ Rolex when links were taken out.
no , you absolutely didnt. Why post on here w reps???? Theres great rep subs.
Your maturity, or lack thereof, is palpable. Take your jealousy elsewhere.
He’s got a collection of reps, including a comically bad rep of a Pepsi, don’t listen to the noise he’s making.
Nice rep
ITS A FKING REP!!!! Stop being so gullible people.
Jealousy is a dangerous trait.
dude - its CLEARLY a rep. your story is horseshit. NO POST HISTORY. Your $25 amazon watch display. Cmon man
Maybe my receipts on batgirl will convince you.. fucken 🤡
I’m done replying to you .. keep dreaming
now only if you showed the receipt for the pepsi - that would mean something. But you dont. Who buys a GMT and returns it?? someone who had no intention of keeping it in the first place.
