I dont get the Pepsi

[charliemario]

could someone please tell me why so many people want Pepsi?
honestly I get Daytona, and I get the snoopy omega.
just this Pepsi.
it looks like a joke. blue and red, what, is it Stars and Stripes?
also the concept is silly. blue and red for day and night, like a kid's doodling

oh and I posted already and it got removed.
some Pepsi extremist please let the thread live :)

[JacksonRain]

I'm not sure what you mean. But I have both, and I can tell you that although I think both are beautiful, there have been several times that I have glanced at the Pepsi and felt this wow almost mesmerized reaction and appreciation for the watch, and I have not felt that way to the same degree with my stainless steel Daytona, or Hulk. It's definitely one of the hottest pieces for good reason.

From the engineering and beauty of the bracelet, to the bicolored bezel, the history that heritage, the date... Just love it

Great first troll post.

Red/blue are the original GMT watch colors from 1953 when it was designed. They matched, and represented, pilot cockpit instruments.

The upper, blue half represents the sky and safe flying, while the lower represents danger and ground impact, similar to the artificial horizon, the primary instrument.

Usually we do delete troll posts such as this, because it is little more than a kids doodling with silly context. However, the GMT does have history, so perhaps some good will come of it.

Well played

[REFZ]

The popularity of the BLNR and BLRO GMT is mostly based on hype.
It's the same watch as the GMT LN but with a colorfull bezel but people are willing to pay 150-200% extra for the colors because it's the latest and greatest thing you see on social media.

This info makes the thread worthwhile imho. This is very interesting. Thank you for taking the time to share.

Thank you, I also am not a fan of the Pepsi but your explanation puts the colour scheme in context for me and perhaps the next time I see one, it will feel different.

I did not know this bit of history. Very cool.

Also, to the OP (who I assume won’t be returning to this thread anyway): You don’t understand the Pepsi because it’s like a kid’s doodling, but you like the Snoopy Omega which literally has a drawing for kids on it? Weird post all around.

That's not true. The attitude indicators in cockpits are blue and brown representing the sky and earth. How does red fit in? Lol

I thought that was the artificial horizon?

I suppose it does no harm to be occasionally reminded that not everyone is waiting for a BLRO. A glimmer of hope.

It's called an attitude indicator.

Well said.

OP,

If you wanna be taken seriously do a little research before you make a fool of yourself.

Fighter pilots from several countries years ago favored this watch...Also international travelers of course...

Excellent info.

BTW. I think OP was ignorant and lazy on the topic, really don't think he was trolling though.

Amazing, terrific information. Never knew this. Something good did come from this thread.

Again, it has NOTHING to do with an attitude indicator, so that explanation is incorrect. I has everything to do with Panam colors. Red is the obvious choice for daylight, making blue the PM color.

I prefer the BLNR simply because of the night and day concept of the Blue and Black, That said I would gladly trade it for a ceramic BLRO if it ever comes out?

Go to "Jake's Rolex Magazine" and click on history of the GMT on the right column. A historical design that's been around since 1955. Unmistakable look, heritage--a true homage watch. Read how many astronauts and military pilots have worn the Pepsi. I own 3 Rolex but the "Pepsi" is "THE" watch in my book. Being a commercial airline pilot I will enjoy swapping out between my Batman, Tudor BB GMT and Pepsi when I fly. Been on the waiting list for 2.5 years........
