Golden thoughts about Pepsi...

More and more often I hear that he has already eaten too much, that other versions are much more interesting, because Pepsi is an old boring with no panache... Where is the truth?

It’s polarizing for sure. Most love it, some prefer the BLNR, some flat out don’t like the colors.

Personally it’s my favorite Rolex ever produced.

One of my favorite watches especially on the jubilee bracelet.

The BLRO is one of my favorite references and has a foot in the past and the present. No matter the configuration of metals or bezels it works so well for me. I have owned the WG version but moved it along for the SS BLRO on Jubilee. Something about the colors and the shiny bracelet does it for me. I have looked at vintage Pepsi's and passed but have added a Tudor Pepsi that gives me that vintage vibe without the vintage price.

I recently was lucky enough to get the pepsi in meteorite (well I guess its been about a year). I absolutely love the watch and truly think it's a special piece when I put it on. Part of the deal I made with my AD was I would trade my pepsi on jubilee in towards the meteorite pepsi to help me alleviate some costs. There are days when I miss the steel version on the jubilee bracelet. Truly a wonderful watch fits well and is super comfortable.

I don’t know how anyone can’t love this reference. I guess there’s something for everyone in the Rolex catalogue.

Not one for me - not really a fan of any GMT.

You’re right though - Rolex has something for everyone.

This is iconic

The original Pepsi is the real deal.
Newer version, not iconic just updated.

Your version is a real legend, although older references with scrambled eggs on the indexes are also delicious.

I realize I might be crazy...but I love these 16710s so much, I am actually considering selling my modern BLRO and buying a complete set 16710...probably insane to even contemplate.

Not crazy at all.

I’ve thought I’ve thought about that as well. I’m glad I was able to finally try a 16710 on my wrist. Now I know for sure that the modern iteration is the one for me

That IS insane! The newer reference is better looking, in my view. Also, it’s new. Don’t do it!

the five digits are great without the HUGH numerals on the bezel. I don't why Rolex enlarged them to make them clownish size. Go for it

Truly my favorite Peps...
  • Bezel color is vibrant with the aluminum Bezel
  • Case design (especially the lugs) are thin
  • Wears like a 39mm timepiece

I have a bud contemplating the sale of his BLNR for this watch. Your Pepsi is stunning!

It seems like old people really like this watch, a lot more than young people do.

How do you know? Could be true, just don't see a way to track it.

Income also matters, younger people are just starting out and don't have as much to waste on watches. $20k street price for a Pepsi - it's a lot to bite off. I'd be putting that toward a house down payment if I were starting out.

It was just a personal observation and of course I could be totally wrong.
I've been known to be very wrong. Frequently. Just ask my wife.

Interesting take.

I would’ve thought the opposite based on the members that I know here who own the 4 and 5 digits.
