Could it be for real??? 66% cut in pepsi production??

I asked my AD a couple of weeks back when I was in collecting a new SkyDweller … the manager said they haven’t seen any change in the number of Pepsis they are getting delivered. Personally would seem strange to me that Rolex is having production issues on a bezel they have been making for nearly 10 years now.

If there is an actual problem with the Pepsi bezel, Rolex will solve it a it will produce tens of thousands again. The Pepsi is the most popular model that Rolex sells currently, more popular than any GMT or Submariner or Daytona bar the Panda. The dogs of steel are getting hard to sell now, popular steel models and TT will be a little over retail or even under soon. There is no logic in stopping the Pepsi model. Every business needs to make money and relies on it's most popular models to do that. If less Pepsi is reaching ADs now, that will improve soon. Maybe Rolex is diverting more popular models to Bucherer now is the reason for the lesser supply to ADs. No AD knows what Rolex plan is and that's a fact.

Allegedly the AD in my area hasn't received a BLRO since February.
I also have the suspicion the case will move to 41mm, like the sub and sub date. Perhaps Rolex is getting the remaining 40mm cases through the pipeline before releasing a 41mm case.

I keep seeing people calling for this on the forum. FWIW, I would like for them to slim the lugs down similar to the new sub proportions, but I don't think it is happening anytime soon.

Just released the GRNRs this year and VTNR last year in the current 40mm case. I think they are happy with GMT proportions for now or they would not have spent the money on R&D for those watches only to manufacture them for a year or two before having to make modifications to the production process for a new case. Just my opinion.
