Just saw the new pepsi and rootbeer!!!

Thanks to the OP for sharing the pictures. Sadly, this is probably going to be the last time we see them in an AD's window for some time to come - let's enjoy it while we can

I’m sure discussed elsewhere, but the Pepsi seems to have not worked, for such an iconic watch it feels rushed and compared to the BLNR is nowhere near as crisp. That said everyone Rolex is willing to produce will sell easily and why not I’d buy one. This watch will retain if not gain value regardless and on that premise alone demand will be very high. Part of me feels a bit disappointed that they could not make it as I feel it should be another part knows my connections are not strong enough to get this any time soon and at least I won’t experience the jealousy when someone gets a Daytona when the Pepsi incoming threads start.

Whilst the root beer is not my taste, I think it works a

Hey, does the new GMT come with the option of an oyster bracelet OR the jubilee????

From your photo, there's a Pepsi GMT with the oyster bracelet on it, unless that's the BLRO white gold version?

New SS Pepsi is jubilee only. Previous bracelets will not fit

Are the bezels on the SS and WG the same color? Maybe it’s the lighting that makes them look different to me. Thanks for the pics,

The root beer is fire. That is the first 2 tone that I have liked. Might cause me to reevaluate 2 tones generally. The rose gold one is unbelievable.
