If they can't make ceramic Pepsi bezels they need to go back to aluminum. I prefer aluminum anyway. And they can thin out the hideously thick lugs too.

What I have found with generic ceremic Pepsi inserts is that the red portion is never solid. The top side is coated in red ceramic or something.

@John-wf5if 5 месяцев назад

It won't be discontinued. Also, when you get one you'll love it. Easily the most favourite Rolex I own. Proportions, history, colouration. Hits on every level.

@insearchoftheperfectwatch934 5 месяцев назад

One major error that you have repeated here without doing your due diligence: Rolex did NOT invent the GMT watch: Glycine invented it a year before them, but the pretty boys at Pan Am wanted a Rolex version of that watch. Like Toyota, Rolex took somebody else's idea and made it better (in this case, terms of esthetics, not quality--albeit Toyota makes a reliable copy of German cars).

@@james6846 Because I much prefer the Sea Dweller over the Pepsi. The 43mm 50th Anniversary Sea Dweller is an incredible watch, and in my opinion, is underrated and undervalued at the present moment. It doesn't hurt that the profit from the sale of the Pepsi means I only have several thousand dollars invested in the Sea Dweller. It was a no brainer.

@gaffs82 5 месяцев назад

Like the steel Daytonas, I think Rolex will reduce the production numbers of the Pepsi massively, thus giving ADs another near unobtainable watch for buyers to try and obtain by spending more. Either that, or they discontinue and bring the Coke out in white gold. There are production issues with the ceramic Pepsi dial. Only black can perfectly cover the lighter color on the lower half of the bezel.

@bngr_bngr 5 месяцев назад

Maybe they allocated those bezels to the white gold GMT.

Steinhart bezels are made of two pieces and glued together. Rolex does them in one piece. Apparently more difficult to produce.

Hello and thanks for this video. This watch is surrely one of the 10th most overhyped watches of all times (and overpriced on grey market also). Nothing interesting about it. All have been said and viewed before.

@insearchoftheperfectwatch934 5 месяцев назад

I owned one for 14 years (GMT I not II) and liked it. It was easy to read at a glance, and yes, I needed the GMT function. Mine was on the oyster bracelet. I don't think that the Pepsi bezel should be on the current bracelet.
