x2 Haven't seen anything noticeable about these new suckers. Just the same incorrect pepsi colour imparted to SS, same fat case and Jubilee with buckle. Red gold Coke... meh.. Your idea sounds the best to me.

I’m keeping my 16710 on Jubilee and my BLNR thanks!
You can’t always repeat past glories. The Jubilee looked great on the aluminium bezel 16710 and it’s venerable predecessors. The colours are wrong on the ceramic Pepsi and the bigger case, bezel and maxi dial don’t suit the Jubilee in my opinion. Time for Rolex to move on. Love the new root beers though.

That's it...
Agreed, not as impressive as I thought. The TT GMT is nice... but the DeepSea is nothing exciting, the Pepsi in Steel is not as hot looking as the predictions I've seen of the Coke version. I feel a little let down, but they'll all sell for 4k over list I'm sure.

don't think rolex is stupid enough to design a case that lets you fit a batman oyster band on it.
shrewd the new rootbeer though, is a stunner |

Slim lugs are a winner.

Are they really that different? It is hard for me to tell. If there is any difference, maybe the inside of the lug was slimmed to accommodate the wider bracelet. But the outer lug shape is virtually identical.

I am sure this will sell well, but I still prefer the Oyster Bracelet. I am not too much of a pepsi fan. I'll always prefer the coke bezel or the BLNR.

For the Jubilee haters you could always throw it on a nato. I think I might wear mine that way.

To me the answer is no. It's an old man watch. Colors are faded away from the bezel, the bracelet is not a sporty one.... definitely wrong.

Sent my AD an email at 4am and am on his list. First time I asked to be on a list and I have a good feeling I'll get this. This is my dream watch!

Love seeing the SS Pepsi back - but never liked the bezel colors of the WG in person.
Didn't call my AD this morning to be on the list. Might stop by when I'm in town in May and inquire about the Tudor Pepsi - but no rush for me - as I'm very happy with my current 3 Rolex lineup. |

But something about the still-too-beefy lugs, pinkish/purplish bezel, and cartoony-large numbers don't work well here. I'm just not a fan.

Not a fan of the Jubilee, I’ll be sticking with my Oyster and continuing to hound every AD in the British Isles until I land myself a BLNR.

I've always been partial to oyster bracelet on sports models, but I have to say this combination looks quite attractive

I hope the bezel has been improved so it doesn't have the ugly bezel on the white gold version...
I was not a fan of the barney purple and and kinda red look of the bezel on the WG watch in certain lights. The Batman blue looks blue in all light conditions.... I am seeing that ugly barny purple look in some of the pics and its scaring me. The Tudor GMT will look red and blue in all lighting conditions. |

This guy put an oyster bracelet on his Pepsi. So it does fit.
Or isn't this news anymore? https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFUWENH8gp/ |
