Pepsi will NOT be discontinued

[tenementhall]

I think next year they discontinue the Batman and replace it with the Coke

Both fulfill the same role (logical representation of day vs. night, blue or red both work for day and black makes sense for night) unlike the Pepsi (classic colors) or VTNR (novelty/Rolex green)

Nothing is difficult to get from A.D. if you spend a whack of money in jewellery you will get both the next day.

For those AD’s who’ve told fellow members the Pepsi was discountinued they may want to apologise to them for making them look fools

Lack of supply.

ADs saying they had not seen one come in for months. Not sure if that was hearsay. You cant trust the internet, but you also cant trust the BS from ADs. I feel they tell you what they read on forums.

Peoples bezels cracking.

Reported production issues. Maybe true given the 3 marks of the Pepsi bezel in 6 or so years.

The Coke bezel patent that was leaked.

The Pepsi will never discontinue. Its history is too deep with the brand. That would be like saying they won’t offer a black sub.

Even with bezel issues they’ll keep it in the catalog. They’ll just ramp down production to bare minimum while they solve the issue. I’d say the next GMT upgrade will be bezel material. The new black/grey is a place holder during development.

Right…. It’s crazy that people think they are scarce lol!

I’m wondering if the shades of blue and red are different.

Really hard to work out how true this all is. I’m on holiday in Japan at the moment and I can say if you are willing to go grey you could have Pepsis running up and down both your arms and legs with ease, they are everywhere. In fact Rolexes in general are everywhere. Spend a few days wandering around and you’ll realise that the ideas of any of these watches being scarce is laughable. They’re just not in the AD windows. Makes one wonder..

I was recently in NYC and visited the diamond district, the same can be said for Patek, AP, or Vacheron. If you have the Green you can get whatever watch you want yesterday.

They've been hot ever since launch. I expect them to come down soon, however. This world is in rough shape - people hurtin out there.

Not by much, but perhaps by around 2K if we're lucky. Let's see!

Has the Sprite on jubilee always been priced $550 more than all of the other SS GMT’s on Jubilee? Or am I just noticing it today because of W&W? If the price difference is strictly due to the increased production cost (if any) for the left hand drive Sprite would that end the debate on the BLRO production problem, seeing as how the BLRO is not the most expensive?

I've never heard about this happening ?? I've had mine for 2 years and wear it daily - is this common amongst the Pepsi specifically??

Yes, the Sprite has always been $550 more than the other versions right from the beginning.
