So I wasn’t a big Rolex collector to begin with and I got a call from my AD that two of the most rarest iteration of a Daytona and Pepsi are available for purchase. I spoke with my good friend who I’m happy to call my mentor — he said I cannot go wrong with both of these ever especially at the price.

Left is the Pepsi Meteorite in white gold and the right is the Daytona 8 Diamond in white gold. The AD said that these are at least 18 month wait ONLY if you’re in the executive list. Both are much more rare than any Pepsi and Daytona to date.

Did you wear both on each wrists for the photo? lol.

Congrats! Amazing opportunity for sure!

Rado63 · 26 March 2020, 04:49 PM

Wow! Cool pair! I hope you were also offered a Steel GMT and a Steel Daytona to go with.

Happy buyer.

Woah! What a double incoming!! Congratulations

interestedwatcher · 26 March 2020, 05:04 PM

'why these models are normally an 18 month wait' the AD said to the man who wasn't on a wait list that was being offered two of these watches.

Nice get, but I doubt the ADs story.

Agree. Sounds fishy.

Happy for you on your excitement

I would still prefer the more popular and plain model (black & blue dial) - More timeless and won't go out of fashion

Rolex is not the of main stream diamond jewelry, neither using Tiffany and Co diamonds, hence no no on the diamond Daytona

Wow. Great buy congrats op.

Beautiful pieces. Enjoy

Ny325 · 26 March 2020, 05:18 PM

I won’t be surprised if AD dealers start trying to unload Rolex pieces at MSRP, or slightly below. The tables have turned with this pandemic. The demand, at the moment, won’t exceed supply. Our country is in a economic crisis. And so are Rolex AD.

I wonder if some of the smaller family owned ADs will survive this? I’d like to think so.

Beautiful combo ... congratulations!

However, I do believe the Rainbow Daytona is a bit more rare. ;-)

AD is pulling your leg with the wait time lol. PM is cool and all but I hope they offered you SS as well. Congrats and wear it in good health!

watchmework · 26 March 2020, 06:11 PM

So you didn’t know they existed, you’re not into collecting and you seem to really care about how rare they are....interesting, congrats on the watches.
