I like the new movement... and the Pepsi is nice, but I’m an Oyster bracelet guy.

Jubilee looks awkward with the larger case. Disappointing releases but no doubt they’ll be extremely popular.

The WG Pepsi is still on the Rolex site... Unexpected to say the least. Why would they even offer that model when you can get it for ~1/4 the price in steel?

EDIT: With a blue dial! Didn't notice at first glance

I really like this, I'm off into town to ask to swap my name from the BLNR list to this. And I was so close to the top of the list now! Aargh

Prefer oyster on sports, and no updated movement for the subs.

Well that should at least lessen the pressure for a BLNR :D.

Ironically for the "bling effect", the jubilee makes the new pepsi to seem to have a higher value/prominence than the PM version.

Looks like they have changed that dial to blue to differentiate the two.
