Incoming

The grey prices for this beautiful piece finally reached the amount I was willing to purchase it for from the grey market.

Here it is finally with the oyster bracelet.

Something very interesting also. The watch comes with each and every sticker and all tags etc. from the AD. I find this amazing as we all know that the AD’s remove all stickers.

A part of me is thinking this is perhaps the only pepsi with full stickers. Should I just put it in the safe and sell my CHNR to acquire another one to wear ? Or should I just remove all stickers and enjoy this GMT Pepsi ??!!

Decisions..decisions

E-N-J-O-Y !!

Great watch,
concerning the stickers, you know,
all the AD's remove the stickers in OUR watch,
but for some reasons they leave them all in someone else watch...

enjoy your wonderful watch
and remember: you bought a watch, not STICKERS !
So enjoy the life with your new wonderful friend on the wrist!
ciao!

Wear and enjoy it.

It's nice you got it with stickers intact, even through a reseller. Having the stickers just further enhances the notion that this is YOUR watch and that YOU are the original owner... not someone else's. You can't get any better than that when buying "Pre-owned" (which is what every watch purchase is outside of an AD). I also love that the new warranty card no longer has someone else's name. There are no psychological barriers to your ownership experience. It's time to remove the only remaining barriers, which is the fear of wearing because of "is it safe?" or "help I've got a scratch/ding/dust/discoloration".

If you're not going to wear it there seems little point in buying it. But that's your business.

Leave the stickers on and put it in a safe immediately. You should be able to retire on the profit you’ll make in 5-7 years, guaranteed.

Full sets of rolex stickers are easily available on the net now. Just another opportunity for scammers making a few more quid!
Wear the watch and enjoy!
