126710 Pepsi...saw it in person...

[crazycarlitos]

The pic seem to show the actual/real colors.

Thanks for sharing

It looks good imo

I think the watch looks more blingy due to the jubilee added to already shiny ceramic bezel.

The more i see it the more I like it. I love the colors ! I can totally rock the purple and pink colors. It looks savage as fuck

The Pinkish Red and the Purplish blue of the BLRO is odd. The blue of the BLNR is just perfect.

My thought too

[HogwldFLTR]

The BLRO is acute watch; the BLNR not so much!!! Thanks for the photos and your write-up!!!!

more excited than when the 16710 pepsi was introduced? I knew nothing about Rolex at that time :-)

To me I am excited finally I have a chance to buy a SS pepsi brand new.

Cool!

Thanks for sharing -- great write-up and fantastic photo comparing it to the BLNR.

One question for some of users here talking about the "bling" on the jubilee... Aside from the sport clasp, is this jubilee bracelet any different from the jubilee bracelets on the current DJs? When people talk about the "bling" are they just referring to the look in comparison to the Oyster bracelet? Or, is this some all-new jubilee that appears more flashy than other current jubilee bracelets?

Yes, same bling as the current Jubilees on the DJ. I was comparing it ot the Oyster.

Wow the colors are so vivid.

The red is more red than a vine ripened tomato.

The blue is more blue than the ocean.

Thank you!

I didn't get the reply I was looking for in another thread but your post is absolutely brilliant ! Thank You Sir

I second this. Well said and very well done. Great to see side by side with true color. As a BLRO owner, I can share that your presentation is spot on. Thank you!

I keep asking myself if I would trade my BLNR for the new Pepsi if I had the opportunity and so far my answer is no. Really happy with the BLNR. Excellent post and the side-by-side picture really reinforces my current opinion.

[yannis]

Great impartial post. Great watch!

[kans86]

Cool watch. I am among the first names on my AD's list so hopefully will be able to have one in the next few months.

[Headshrinker]

You did a great job describing the color variations. Thanks for your input.

[The Libertine]

“Blingy AF”......last phrase I would want associated with a watch I would consider owning.

[Casey VP-26]

I'm still having a hard time with the Grape.

[WatchGuy1966]

Your pic is the first one that does the jubilee justice. It looks really great in that photo. Thanks for sharing.

[arosado]

Fantastic side by side pic. Thanks!

[Borsika]

I might be alone with my opinion but I think GMT looks much better with traditional oyster bracelet. GMT has a square case that just doesnt really match the jubilee style. Jubilee bracelet looks great with DJ's more rounded case but it just doesnt feel right here.

Thanks for the pic. Can’t wait to get mine!

Here the same idea as an owner of the BLNR.

[Pol1]

Perfect pictures, thanks a lot.
I already own the BLNR but my interest in the Pepsi keeps lasting.

Dynamite review. Thx

Well the "color" of "white" light make a difference on how your eye perceives the color (as does the material that the light is bouncing off of). Candles are just under 2000K, Incandescent/Halogen light is around 2600-3200K, fluorescent lights are generally in the 3000-3500K, sunlight on a clear day is around 4500-5000K. The "Cool Blue" LEDs are in the 6000K and up range. So when the Kelvin rating is lower, things tend to look "warmer". When the Kelvin rating is higher, it starts to take on a blueish hue.

So by changing the "color" of the white light, you can see how your target material "looks". Depending on the material, dyes used, etc., the color variance can be quite a lot. One of the biggest criticisms of the photos from Basel was that it was done in indoor/jeweler lighting and that people thought it would look more blue/red in the "right" lighting. I was one of the people who thought this might be the case which is why I used my flashlight to see what it would look like with the lighting being on the other side of the Kelvin rating. Since the LED emitter on my flashlight is actually "bluer" than natural sunlight, I thought it would help make the purple-blue look more blue and it would cool the red.

The blue on the BLNR is really affected by light but it goes from a dark blue to that brilliant blue as in my photo. In the case of the 126710BLRO, despite the lighting difference, it's still definitely purple-blue and pink-red. So in my mind, it's always going to be purple-blue and pink-red no matter what the lighting situation. Of course, cameras/filters/etc. can make it look more solid blue/red, but that's not because of lighting, that's because of editing/manipulation.

As I said before, I understand the limitations of materials and dyes and based on what I know about how Rolex achieves these bi-color bezels, I can fully understand why the color are the way they are. Due to the limitation of the process/materials/whatever, it can't be as red and blue as some people want. The red has to be that particular shade of red in order for them to achieve a color on the other side that is as blue as possible. If they make it "blood red", the blue portion would most likely be Prince-grade purple.

Now if they did a Coke (which is what I thought they should do), I'm guessing that could make the red as red as possible because the black dye will just overpower it which is the reason why the BLNR has such an nice blue.

If you're talking about the all brushed stainless steel AP RO bracelets (the normal ones you see on most AP RO's), then HELL YES. The Super Jubilee has the three center rows fully polished and due to the curvature of the individual pieces, it reflects light EVERYWHERE. Granted, I was in a store where they have "jewelry" lighting (lighting that really makes polished metals "pop") but I would imagine it has this effect under most lighting conditions.

Thanks for the detailed "light" explanation - very much appreciated ....!!!

[EdwardC]

Great side by side shots. Thanks for sharing

[postal007]

Thanks for the side-by-side shot. I can see the difference pretty clearly!

[Nycturbovr6]

Great picture. Really shows the differences. I can't wait to see it in person

[TakeYourTime]

Well done, thank you !
For my taste the red is "too pink" but I wish everyone good luck to get one!

[ladiver]

Pepsi looks great.
