Totally surprised to receive my Pepsi GMT so early!
I was resigned to getting my Pepsi next summer when I received an email from Adam Spiers (of Michael Spiers suppliers by appointment to Lord Sugar)that my watch was due in!Sure enough it’s now with me much to my huge delight.
I did ask Adam four years ago to secure a Pepsi but at the time there was considerable speculation whether Rolex would perfect the necessary Bi Colour bezel.After Basel 2018 true to his word Adam duly put in my order with Rolex.
It’s 30 years since my first GMT which was the Fat Lady-sadly in my naivety I sold it due to the dial starting to yellow.
However I have acquired in addition to my Pepsi The BLNR and CHNR to complete the trio-all of them beautiful timepieces.
I do regret for not still having the Fat Lady which started my fascination for the Rolex GMT Line

Lot of Pepsi incoming threads lately. Seems this model is more available initially than the 2017 hot models were/are (Sky and Sea Dwellers)
