Pepsi production rumour?
Has the rumour that Rolex is having trouble getting the colour of Pepsi bezels been substantiated at all? The rumour goes that ADs will be receiving fewer Pepsis this year due to this issue. Is it true or fake news?

I did hear this directly from my guy. He’s never told me any BS before.

The SS BLRO has been in production since 2018, the WG even longer than that. They are suddenly having production problems with the bezel insert? Sounds absolutely ridiculous to me.
PS: some people have been whining about the inserts since day one. Simple solution is don’t buy one. My SS BLRO received in December 2018 is beautiful, been enjoying it for over four years now. |

My opinion, fake news. Rolex has perfected the blue and red coloring on the insert for quite some time. They make 4 or 5 different bezel inserts for the different variations of GMT’s on their catalog which means their production may get shared across all those variations.

If Pagani can create a ceramic red/blue bezel, I have a hard time believing Rolex would struggle in doing so.

Any manufacturer can stick two halves of a bezel together. And many do to imitate. The story here is that Rolex produces the BLRO bezel as a single piece, which is apparently technically difficult to do with blue and red. |

Just because they finally got the colors right doesn’t mean there aren’t problems producing at scale and consistently meeting QC standards.
The more GMT variants exist employing black, the more apparent this becomes (and the greater the incentive to divert production capacity. Even more true now that there are additional TT/PM pieces to produce. Just not worth it. Plus, if passing QC is an issue those need to go to WG versions first. Not only is it a much more expensive watch, but BLRO is its only variant. Planned steel watches can always be re-designated BLNR (or with slight mods, VTNR) or even TT with some advanced planning. |

I find it hard to believe since they’ve been making them since 2014.

Grey dealers must be getting desperate in order to maintain those inflated blro prices that hardly anyone is paying these days..

Hard to believe after all this time that they’re having any issues. Just doesn’t make sense from a production point of view IMO

Yes they've been making the blue/red bezel for several years but they've been getting a lot of cracked bezels back for service replacements so Rolex have decided to investigate and seems stopped shipping them for the time being. |

I recently got an allocation for a Pepsi and my AD told me similar things - Rolex is slowing down Pepsi production due to bezel / color issues. Sounds like this might actually be accurate.
