Wow, Pepsi on oyster?

So, I finally was able to source a Sub Oyster with Glidelock.


Wow.

This bracelet definitely changes the feel of the already stunning Pepsi.

Anyone else?

Looks unreal. Maybe how it should have come to begin with!

That’s exactly what I’m saying! Or at least give us the option.

As long as your happy. IMHO the jubilee looks better and wears better. Admittedly I haven’t tried this bracelet swap though.

I look forward to a ceramic Pepsi on an oyster from Rolex; even better a Coke!

X2 the oyster looks good as a change of pace but I much prefer the look and feel of the jubilee. Admittedly I’ve looked into what sourcing an oyster bracelet would entail, with how expensive they cost my thought was why not spend the extra 5k, buy a Sub and then you have a whole additional watch! that’s what this hobby does to you I guess.

Which pins did you use? Looks great! (So does the jubilee.)

Wish it was never discontinued on the brushed oyster bracelet.

Nice swap. I’ve done the same. 2x the choices for a bracelet.

Love the combo.

Only thing that throws it off for me is that the bracelet doesn't align with the lugs for both length and depth/height. Makes it look slightly off

I've had mine on an Oyster 93250 just to try it and liked it quite bit - but I'm a fan of the old clasp on the 5 series watches. It was more about a "looks" thing to try it on a brushed bracelet.

I dont have a lot of strong opinions when it comes to watches but the Pepsi looks so much better on an oyster bracelet vs the jubilee.

Seeing these pictures (several threads now) shifted my Pepsi interest from 0 to thinking about one to replace the SD43 as my daily.

Let me know if you have any questions...the BLRO replaced my SD43 as my daily watch and I have no regrets.

Looks great! Which spring bar did you use? Any fitment issues between lugs and end links?

Nice

I've been on the lookout for a bracelet first. Even thought about buying a cheap no box/papers 114060 to get the bracelet.

I've had yellow and rose but can't bring myself to spend that kind of coin on white gold.
