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.

Indeed! Thanks Thanks buddy. Ha! Thanks much! Thanks my brother out west. Agreed! Cheers and thanks Thanks Cru! Thanks! Quote:
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. Quote:
Indeed. Best. Thanks much. Be well.
