Just got my GMT Pepsi

I got the call late Sunday afternoon from my AD, my Pepsi had landed and would I like to collect?!!!
I was like a kid at Christmas yesterday morning, Off I went to the store. I was told stickers had to be removed in store, I was allowed to remove my own stickers in store, the warranty card retained for 1 year. The Watch hasn’t been off my wrist other than bedtime.
AD reiterated everyone else’s comments regarding availability of all Rolex models, even the less celebrated models are thin on the ground.

Not quite sure how this helps Rolex, seems like a strange business strategy, but who am I to judge.

Rolex are well known in the right circles for being Anglophiles so at last it is paying off.

First time being British has paid off since the Empire ended... but we've been getting the raw end of the hype deal since 2016 so this is just make up s*x.

Yes. I want to wear a Jubilee bracelet to bed and slice up the missus or bang the ceramic bezel on the headboard.

Seriously, congratulations! I hope all our British friends get all the SS Rolex they desire.
