Not sure how effective holding the warranty card for 12 months is going to be. Do people really care? The guy who bought one for $22K. How much discount would he expect?

At $22K I bet David can include any warranty work as required.

Well seeing as they are asking 22k over here I’d guess you can add 5k usd for the isles of WIS misery.

Congratulations to all in the UK who received their beautiful SS Pepsi GMT's! Very exciting indeed. Hopefully the Rolex Pepsi shipments hit North American shores soon. In the meantime keep those pics coming. Cheers!

$22k? LOL - at that price just go buy the WG one. No point buying SS at that price point.

Absolutely agree.

If you wanna spend 20k on a Rolex.......I’d say get a DD.

The new Pepsi makes sense at it msrp price not higher.

Great photo, the colour of the bezel insert is certainly reminiscent of and a fitting tribute to its predecessors.

This whole market is a teenage wasteland. Everyone is overpaying for everything...We’re all wasted.

But yeah I’ve conditioned my wife likewise.

By now she’s so good at brushing off overpriced watches that I couldn’t imagine trying to start over with another

Clicked on this thread for the fifth time at least to check out the pics. It is hard to mistake this reference for any other with the jubilee bracelet.

I'm a little suprised that this costs only £250 over the BLNR price...considering the new movement, new bracelet and case redesign (albeit slight to take the jubilee).

I actually think it could be higher, just seen WF have a 3 year old Nautilus for £40K, retail is £22k, these were 33-5K a couple of months ago.

Yes, and considering the song and dance explanations they gave over how hard it was to make this two primary colour bezel, which we now can see a few years on looks indeed to have been the case, they could have put £1-2K on the SS and still had long waiting lists and hype, but they keep persisting in ignoring the state of the market with their pricing that just makes the grey market even hotter.

I think more closer to £18K with sellers like WF.
