Spotted in London

As many here I am on waiting list for hopefully for a Pepsi. While traveling to London I thought I would check to see what the UK stores had.

First store I stumble across in the city had this pair in the window. Of course it was a grey market dealer but was great to see one in the flesh for the first time.

Wonder what the British definition of limited is, legally speaking - seems like some false advertising there unless this dealer is claiming that all SS Rolex are “limited editions”

Funny how seeing them side by side in the window like that, and if I weren’t familiar with the hype/demand surrounding the Pepsi right now, I would have picked the BLNR between the two.

You are 100% correct, without the hype the BLNR has the nicer colour mix and the nicer bracelet.

Having said that our minds have been played with and the Pepsi want is stronger!

Virtually everything man-made is 'limited edition'.

Act now while supplies last!

For a limited time!

Collect them all before they're gone!

Don't miss this fabulous opportunity!

Spotted in London

We to Harrods near Kensington this week and they refused to sell me a Tudor Bronze/Blue even though they had one. They did have a huge amount of every other Black Bay.



I did order a an extra strap for my M79250BB-0001 Bronze/Blue at Watches of Switzerland for an outrageous price of over $US 300 with clasp and (catch part) whatever that was. They wouldn’t have sold it unless I had the serial number and found a picture of the serial stamp in my phone pictures. 4 week wait coming from Switzerland they said. Not being able to post it to the United States, a TRF Member said I could have it posted to his local UK address and he’ll forward it to me .


Pictures of what I saw around the City of London













I saw a lot of SS OP’s but no GMT, Subs, explorers or the big diver watches. A few Yacht-Masters
