Beautiful GMT
The cert looks OK except 2 of the perforation pins on the stamping unit that were punching the zero must've jammed when embossing. They just didn't plunge down when the operator pushed the button.

Enjoy the watch--the Cert looks fine to me also. Again it isn't like you can go out and use it toward the warranty.

Please correct me if Im wrong but from all the Pepsi bezels Ive seen, the red continues slightly into the 8 on the "18" and by the 6 it looks like the blue shows through under the red.

I am no expert but it all looks good to me You have already had the experts chime in saying it is all good... Padi and SteelerFan, it doesnt get any better than these two veterans
Enjoy your new watch and get some sleep
