Anyone else as frustrated as I am?

Easy remedy get yourself a 16710 then you can get 3 quite cheap to buy inserts then 3 watches for the price of one.Get a late model then except for a clasp and very expensive slither of ceramic its basically the same watch.

I've come to terms that I will be getting this piece. Of course I have to see it in person first. My only concern now is the heft of the WG and how comfortable it would be as a daily wearer in comparison to the BLNR - one of the most comfortable watches I own.

Except for the fact that one is SS and the other is solid gold.

It's a joke of a watch, a money grab shunning history. Should be in SS.

Vincent65 · 9 April 2014, 05:16 PM

Meh… it's all just materials and colours, basically - same movement and functions.

loads of money to spare - get gold ROLEX
not so much - get steel ROLEX
none - no ROLEX

Very nice of them to cater to all of us!

HL65 · 9 April 2014, 07:16 PM

Upset no....Glad yes! Love these threads!!

As for will they make it ever in SS? Not a chance---sorry that ship has sailed.

Not bothered the new Pepsi is in WG as I will get the Pepsi GMT TT that will come out next year.

Darlinboy · 9 April 2014, 08:36 PM

And once again, Rolex rolls on.

The PepC will do well for them I am sure. It's a great looking watch!

The 18K WG Sub is extremely comfortable to wear....I have a 7.25" wrist.

Upset with Rolex?

I had 2 in one game once and we still lost.

No, I don't care that the pepsi is in WG.

Good thing they did not make it in platinum. 99 percent of us would be SOL!

HogwldFLTR · 9 April 2014, 09:38 PM

I'm more frustrated with Rolexes costing two to three times the cost of Omegas. I'm happy to buy that which I choose to afford and not buy that which I choose not to.

superdog · 9 April 2014, 09:41 PM

Hysterical.

Upset?

No. I will never ever be upset about something so small.

Not that they should be viewed as investments, but Rolexes do also hold their value much better than Omegas. That said, the barriers to brand entry are becoming higher, as the "prestige" race between Rolex and Omega carries on.

AK797 · 9 April 2014, 09:42 PM

If the blue and red were as vibrant as on the old Pepsi then maybe, but the new colours seem more muted so I am not so interested.

Randy · 9 April 2014, 10:20 PM

I would rather have a M serial Pepsi in stainless than a WG Pepsi any day!

That was my first thought. But then I saw the photos from the '2014 pricing' thread and changed my mind.

The colors in those images really pop.

Friedl41 · 9 April 2014, 10:50 PM

Upset not. A little sad, yes. But this is a fine look, too: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1397047797.787790.jpg

Wait what? I thought it was in SS and the bezel was bakelite? Oh man better call and get my deposit refunded. Shoot thanks for giving me the heads up! Boy was I wrong :(

hehe

Better tell Grady. ;-)

He keeps insisting Rolex will make one in steel on each one of these threads. Perhaps he has inside info? :-D

I doubt I'd buy a new SS Pepsi anyhow. PCL's and a nasty list price would turn me away. Besides, my late model 16710 is a modern classic that doesn't need to be replaced.

I just don't see Rolex doing that. They have never made a stainless version of any watch that looks just like the WG model. What would make anyone think they will with this one?
