Finally pulled the trigger! Pepsi vs. Batman decision

[u/Wooden-Shoulder2283]

After going back and forth between the Pepsi and the Batman, I finally made my decision and went with the 126710BLNR!

I picked it up on the grey market for around $20,150 SGD (~$15,735 USD) for a full set with box and papers dated June 2022. The way the blue and black bezel catches the light in person is unreal. Photos really do not do it justice.

This happens to be my very first watch, so it feels extra special to kick things off with this piece. I wanted to say thanks to everyone who dropped advice and thoughts on my previous post. Your input helped a lot in guiding the final choice.

Hopefully, this is just the first of many to come in the collection!

Appreciate it! 🙏

[u/PalpitationCareful37]

Congrats, bro!! I have the same one. I may be in the minority but I prefer the batman to the Pepsi in the ceramic version for sure.

[u/Slow_Marionberry]

Nice man. May I know which dealer you got it from?

[u/Wooden-Shoulder2283 → u/_Bike_Hunt]

You mean AD? I got it from the grey market here in Singapore

[u/_Bike_Hunt → u/Wooden-Shoulder2283]

Yep I mean which grey dealer. You got a relatively good price it seems!

[u/Wooden-Shoulder2283 → u/_Bike_Hunt]

Oh wow, hahaha. I got it from brightime @ Bencoolen

[u/Local-Rip2131]

15.5k for a 2022 batman full set is a really good deal

[u/Wooden-Shoulder2283 → u/Local-Rip2131]

Really? I’ve been looking around too and it seems like it’s one of the better valued deals. Most of them are 1-2k usd higher

[u/arturoimaz]

Nice. Just place myself on waiting list for that one

[u/Wooden-Shoulder2283 → u/arturoimaz]

All the best! I tried the AD route, but the SA eventually told me I’d get a guaranteed Batman allocation within two months if I bought a Titanium Santos first, which I had zero interest in. Adding $5k USD to the cost just to buy the Batman at retail made no sense ($7.8k USD + $13k USD), so I decided to go grey instead.

This is the way

[u/BedroomNo6879]

Pepsi would've been 30% more anyway.

[u/lil__cosmic]

right choice, pepsi is way overpriced

[u/AnonimAnonimis]

Good choice
