Thought experiment: Smurf + Panda or Mayer Blue Dial Daytona + Pepsi

Market value is almost equal:

Smurf 40k (116619LB) + Panda 35k

Vs

Mayer Blue Dial Daytona 50k + Pepsi 20k

I currently own the Smurf and Panda, am toying with the idea of a swap.

The Smurf is too good to let go, your Daytona or the BLRO are about even for me but the Pepsi has the edge if it’s jubilee.

I’d keep the two you have and add the BLRO when/if possible. Not a fan of the WG/blue Daytona.

It has been. Mayer picked both the green and blue dials as his “sleeper” pics during that Hodinkee video a few years ago. He focused mostly on the green dial version and so did everyone else but he called the blue dial a sleeper pic took. He also said “maybe less so” in reference to the blue though.

I personally prefer the blue dial version. It is light years more versatile to wear than the green dial too.
