THE current question about Pepsi

Hello All

Firstly I wish you all a happy new year

Secondly, I have THE one million dollars question

Who is able to say if my watch is a MK1, MK2 or even a MK3?



Thank you

Just look on the price tag!
Sorry, couldn’t resist, no idea. The bezel looks very pastel.
Nice watch either way

Looks like the pastel pink/purplish hue I saw the first batch .

Did you get box and papers ? Original date of sale at the AD will give a clue .

Whoa. No you have the new Mark 4. That is awesome. I bet that one is worth like $3K more as you have that limited edition one.

My guess, MK1. Here's my wife trying one on in May 2018 under bright AD lighting.

My guess: Definitely not an MK3. I think the blue is too dark to be a MK1, so I would roll the dice with MK2.

THE current question about Pepsi

Concerning all insert color speculations if it is a Mk 1,2,3 please don't forget that light conditions and different viewing angles can fool you significantly.

Did anybody compare in detail if the numbers on the inserts are slightly different in size or form? Sorry if that was already answered somewhere else, I did not search for other threads yet.

Below is an example for light conditions, which even optically changes the red insert part (area 6 to 10) into a light blue!


A very small tilt of the watch under identical light and camera conditions gives you the following image


Last of a short photo series with identical settings except the viewing angle


Of course I took all photos with the same watch (bought in October 2018) and the same insert.
