I own several watches so classic black only Submariner is not interesting to me. + i like GMT II on Jubilee bracelet more then anything on Oyster bracelet.
So i like a touch of color.

There is no way i could see all these watches in the wild so picking one of them is an online process. The other important factor is the price. There are differences here and not small ones. I'm talking about used/grey market.

First option: Batman (blue/black bezel) on Jubilee. Price around 15.000+ eur
I like everything about it. The only "problem" is the color scheme, because i already own blue Seamaster, but it's a lot more blue then this one.

Second option: Pepsi (Blue/purple/red/rose). Price 18.000+ eur
Probably most iconic. I really like the colors on this picture but when i see a lot of online photos, color come out as washed, red more pink and i don't like that. So i don't know.

Third option: Sprite (green/black). Price: 20.000+ eur
I really like this color combo. What i think will bother me A LOT is that it's a watch for lefties. And price is a lot higher then other versions.

Fourth option: A wild card. Rolex 116710LN. Price: 12.000+ eur.
Discontinued model in 2017 i think. Not on Jubillee but very classic and i could swap the bezel with Sprite one.

I've been waiting for this to make a modern comeback. I even expected Tudor to do this by now but still nothing.

I just got the Lefty/Riddler/Sprite and I absolutely love it. However, I really like watches with crowns on the left side. I'm right-handed and wear my watch on my left wrist like the majority of people. To me, having the crown on the left side actually makes more sense. The crown never digs into your hand. Given all these watches have screw-down crowns, the crown being on the right side is not beneficial for adjusting things while on your wrist anyway. Nevertheless, I understand how people could find it annoying if you are constantly looking down at your watch and it looks wrong to you.

All that said, I prefer the Lefty/Riddler/Sprite, but I was very fortunate to purchase at retail and not the grey market. Given the difference in price, I think the Pepsi is the safest choice and does not seem to conflict as much with your existing collection and preferences.

One of my few dream watches to own is a Pepsi, so I lean that way. Nothing wrong with any of them, just something I've always wanted.
