Incoming Pepsi! My lucky day

Got the text today from my sales associate to come in. Didn’t tell me what it was but I had a feeling it would be good. This is a tough one to get in 2024 and extra special because it’s to remember my grandfather by who just passed last week.

It was meant to be!

So sorry to hear about your relative. I guess it makes this piece extra, extra special.

Sorry to hear, condolences to you and your family!!!

Proudly wear it in his remembrance!!!!! Crazy occurrence, I recently got my 126710BLRO on Oyster in Sep. my dad passed away in July, and he gave me his 1675 Pepsi back in 1998, so I too am wearing my new Pepsi in remembrance of my dad.

I did pay homage to the original 1675 Pepsi and swapped the oyster with a 97200 bracelet with a glidelock.

Cheers my brother!!!

5 years ago my dad passed as well and I cherish the Rolex datejust he gave me just like I know you cherish yours he gave you. I always wear his on days I feel like I need him with me. Congrats on your watch and wear it in good health brother

Big big congrats! This is a wonderful homage to your father. I have a similar feeling, both my father and my dog, the two most important living beings in my whole life, passed away some months ago and the BLRO that I received last month, for specific personal reasons, has been a way to commemorate them, so I understand you perfectly.

Enjoy your watch and its special meaning. For you and for him!

Sorry to hear about your loss; what a beautiful way to honor your grandfather’s memory. Those pieces that hold meaning beyond the watch itself are extra special, and the timing couldn’t be more perfect. Can’t wait to hear what it was—sounds like your SA came through with something truly memorable.

Thank you for the kind words… came through with a Pepsi and it’s very special :)
