Any Pics of a GMTII with Rehaut Engraving?

THIS QUESTION PERTAINS TO PEPSIS and COKES ONLY!!!

I have heard opinions only on TRF that this was WAS made with said engraving...and other very adamant opinions to the contrary.

Has anyone ever seen the GMTII (PEPSI or COKE) with the Rehaut engraving? Best of course is, anyone have a photo of one?

Just bloody curious.

Bill this was bothering me too. I wanted to purchase a Pepsi and needed to find out if there was one out there with the engraved rehault. I reached out to Thomas (Wempe) and called the the RSC (NY) and was infomed that Rolex has never produced the "Pepsi"/"Coke" GMT with the engraved rehault...

Sorry... I did not mean to say a GMT II C. All of those are engraved.

I meant a GMT II - Pepsi, Coke, or Black.

Here is a pic from the Rolex product pdf (downloaded from official website).

You can see the engraved rehaut. I can verify this, my GMT Master IIc has this engraving.

Hey Sam, how are you?

That's what I thought...but I have been so wrong before. I heard others swear that the last Pepsis & Cokes had them. But I am beginning to think it is an Urban much

Sorry, didn't see your correction. Probably uploaded around the same time. This is the new ceramic bezel model.

Sorry...Wish I could edit my Original Post Headline...I just tried to touch up the content.

I know...ALL GMTIIC's have the engraving.

Asking about Pepsis & Cokes!

Thanks!

Bill all is well. If the myth is true on the Pepsi engraved rehault I would love to see one in the flesh. Thanks for starting this thread. Though Wempe and the RSC confimed this does not exist I am very curious if someone out there can prove otherwise...

I don't think engraving was introduced with the 16710's.
