Many congrats. Saw the blue dial BLRO on Monday, it's stunning.

Congrats. Both watches look great. Just got the call for the root beer in everose. I'm debating this or the white gold pepsi. The blue looks a bit flat to me but have yet to see one in person.

I think this one has gone top of my favourites list. Its a stealth bomber of watches. My rosegold rootbeer almost draws too much attention and I often find myself trying to hide it when I'm wearing it.

Unless you're a Rolex guy, this one just looks like a steel GMT from afar.

When you get near it you realise it has almost a champagne whiteness to it and somehow the polished areas are even more mirror like than the steel pieces.

When held it just feels immense. Top draw and a wolf in sheeps clothing.

A lot has been said about the blue dial. I think its absolutely wonderful and one of the reasons I was sold on this watch. I'd call the blue almost an airforce blue. Not dark enough to be mistaken for black. And not the in-your-face blue found on the smurf (no offence to smurf owners). Its spot on in my view.

I think there's a lot of milage to this watch. Because of the blue it can be worn casually with jeans etc, but due to the sheen and the level of finish it can also be used as a dress watch IMO.

Big thanks to Finwatch and his great pick up thread. This is your fault brother lol.

Time for the stickers to come off.

Finally for those that have never had a PM watch. See below the weight difference between this and the BLRO.

This watch is IMO and without a single doubt the top Rolex ever made !

I can't congratulate you enough

Wowza! Congrats on the WG Pepsi - that's quite the pick-up in addition to all your recent adds. I think this is the first new WG Pepsi (with the new blue dial) I've seen here. Enjoy it in good health!

lord91 · 20 July 2018, 05:46 PM

Congrats on your new toy! Is this blue dial gloss or matte?

HL65 · 20 July 2018, 06:46 PM

Between this and the blue smurf Sub, it doesn't get much better. Great pics and congrats! It's a beauty!
