Shoutout for Ommsen (Christian)! A Pepsi story...

This is a quick shoutout for Ommsen (Christian) - the man from the winning team in Germany!

A month back I bought a 16710 with a black insert. The seller threw in a non-original pepsi insert (pictured below).



Being a bit obsessed with all that is rolex I needed an original insert so used our great resources here on TRF and reached out to Ommsen for the buy. A couple of weeks went by and nothing; the package had been lost in the mail and I feared that after many deals with TRF sellers perhaps this one had gone bad.



Emails to Ommsen and he said he would send another insert with no charge to me! I was surprised but waited....

Today a package arrived! :)



Very grateful Christian! Many thanks man.



TRF stays strong. Great community we've got going ladies and gents! Be well folks.

There is indeed. The font is a little off on the aftermarket and the color in the sun in particular is also a bit off.

Indeed. Best.
