Hope Rolex revamps the bezel colors like they did on the Sub LV. The colors just ain't right on the current Pepsi.

Once they can get the colors to be true red and blue like on the old aluminum bezel insert, I'm in.

They did this for a long time in the 80's, 90's, and 2000's not sure why you would think they won't do it again.

Those were inserts... not a true comparison.

Its a mass produced watch. They aren't rare or scarce.

Ask an AD if they are scarce or look on the 2.5x price on the Grey market and hopefully that's an indicator.

There's no shortage of them on the secondary market which initially come from.......AD's. Its a mass produced modern Rolex. No shortage of them out there.

It's the least produced Rolex watch in past several years. By your definition there's no shortage of any modern Rolex watch.

ADs are getting 0 Pepsi's right now.

Congrats! Did the same thing in November. It’s an iconic watch & near impossible to get from an AD. Wear in good health!

Since Ads are getting 0 BLROs I wonder if that’s a sign they are going to 41mm case

Regardless of the fact they didn't discontinue, it will still be a high value watch and i think very very hard to get out of an AD.

I think Rolex need another stainless grail watch like the Daytona to make ppl buy more of what the dont want. The Pepsi will be it.

I hope people remember this next year when they say the Pepsi, Starbucks, Batman or whatever is about to discontinue. It is all dealer hype.

Why I pulled the trigger on the Pepsi 126710BLRO

You made your decision. Just stick to your guns. Justification isn’t necessary. You can start caring about what others think when they start depositing checks in your watch fund.

Wait, what? You’re buying a second Pepsi on a different bracelet?

Why not just buy the bracelet. Rolex allegedly (according to Ben Clymer) stated at W&W that they will make either bracelet available for purchase through an AD.

I heard this too and am really hoping it’s true. I have mine on an oyster, which I prefer, but want a jubilee for variety.

OP, I hope you are enjoying your watch. I wanted one also but my AD told me it was not going to happen. About a month ago I was in his store and he gave me the BS on the Pepsi being discontinued because he saw so few of them in recent months. I think the discontinue rumor was started by grey dealers, doing what they do best, create hype and rip you off. If you are enjoying the watch, that is all that matters. Wear it in good health.

So you got scared into buying a watch you thought was going to become harder to get, off the back of a YouTube video, put together by the largest platform of used watches sellers in the world?

I can see your FOMO was real, I mean, you only had 6 other GMTs to tell you the time in other parts of the world... heck, you could cover nearly all world time zones in this watch box alone!

I think the phrase, 'hook, line and sinker' applies pretty well here. All the best though mate

I have a 2020 Pepsi bought on grey because my AD said I had very little chance of getting one in the next three years. So I paid the premium.

I was back at the AD today picking up a Rolex for my wife. My AD said that they had 1/4 of the Pepsi supply in the past 12 months versus prior years, and that he’s had no indication that will change at all.

For those saying it’s false scarcity

Where are the 2024 listed for sale by grey?

Used dealers are probably still trying to offload their 2023 models at inflated prices…

But anyways :

Congratulations!! I was talking with my AD this week and they mentioned that they haven’t received a single Pepsi for some time now. It’s a great watch to have!
