Spotted in London

As many here I am on waiting list for hopefully for a Pepsi. While traveling to London I thought I would check to see what the UK stores had.

First store I stumble across in the city had this pair in the window. Of course it was a grey market dealer but was great to see one in the flesh for the first time.

I know half a dozen friends and colleagues with that "limited edition."

What was their asking price on the Pan-Am party edition?

A few days I looked at their website and they two Pepsi's in stock, and at over £17k each, so yeah, about double the rrp.

I've just looked again, and now there's only one listed at £17,250....so some mug with more money than brain cell count has bought one at that price.........unreal.

If that price was paid by someone. All you can deduce is they have more money than sense and are very impatient. OR could have been someone who wanted the watch and knew there was so way in hell they were gonna ever get one from an AD. I still like to think the former. Lol

the irony is a huge part of the appeal of these hot watches across a few brands is the fact that they are "worth" so much over retail. Non-buyers become buyers in these conditions. Don't forget the only reason they are this popular is because "some mug" buys them at these prices. If they didn't you might not want the watch either, even at retail, if you lost 25% or more if you got bored and sold it.

There’s two on there at the moment - one for £17,250 and one for £17,450. That’s over 256% of list price! Crazy times.

Wonder what the British definition of limited is, legally speaking - seems like some false advertising there unless this dealer is claiming that all SS Rolex are “limited editions”

Funny how seeing them side by side in the window like that, and if I weren’t familiar with the hype/demand surrounding the Pepsi right now, I would have picked the BLNR between the two.

You are 100% correct, without the hype the BLNR has the nicer colour mix and the nicer bracelet.

Having said that our minds have been played with and the Pepsi want is stronger!
