I've located an "M" Pepsi at a local AD & I don't think I can resist it, lol. It's at one of their other stores out of state & they're supposed to call me back Mon/Tues to confirm they can transfer it here. Just got my SS Daytona last month, the thought of a 2nd Rolex purchase in just as many months seems crazy as hell to me but I really don't want to miss out on the chance of buying a Pepsi new from AD before they're all gone. I feel like I'm being ridiculous for wanting another when I already have 2 but the sickness is so hard to fight. Maybe I need a methadone prescription, lol. I thought I was over this addiction after the Daytona acquisition. On a positive note, I'm not a fan of the newer models coming out so maybe this one will be my last.

uhhhhhhh.. You've come to the wrong place for this kind of help.

BUY IT...or I will!!

Thani · 26 May 2008, 06:38 AM

Go For It

SPACE-DWELLER · 26 May 2008, 06:43 AM

Allen, somehow the most interesting Rolex watches just seem to come your way all the time!

How do you DO this?!

I want that skill, too!

etp095 · 26 May 2008, 07:14 AM

as long as you've got the dough,i'd go for it.this is not the place for advice on not buying another rolex.

mike · 26 May 2008, 07:24 AM

If it really sings to you the GMT would dove tail nicely with the Daytona and Sub.
I would make sure I wanted the watch for what it is and not some feeling it may be hard to get in the future though.

Good luck.

PhilM · 26 May 2008, 07:25 AM

Looks like it's a done deal, now all you need to do is post the pictures

pwrslider · 26 May 2008, 07:49 AM

........and if and when it comes time to flip.....let me know!

colemanitis · 26 May 2008, 07:54 AM

We can't help, we have the exact same problem. Buy it if you want it and can afford it.

Scarface · 26 May 2008, 07:57 AM

Well done

topcat30093 · 26 May 2008, 08:08 AM

Why don't you put down a deposit and pay the rest over a few months.
That way it may seem thats its been several months since you last bought a Rolex.
Just a thought.

Chris B · 26 May 2008, 08:13 AM

We have to know when to cease an opportunity, don't deny yourself go for it, there's gonna be times when you're flush & your hearts desire can't be found

Magik · 26 May 2008, 08:33 AM

By no means am I a wealthy person (monetarily speaking), but when I had a chance to get my M Pepsi only a month after getting my Sub-Date (which took me about 10 years to pull the trigger on) I went for it. I certainly love it and am finding it to be getting more wrist time than my Sub-Date recently.

astcell · 26 May 2008, 02:50 PM

Allen, I wanted my TT GMT II and it was going to ship in a week, so to tide myself over I got a Panerai. I went back the next week and got my TT GMT. When I walked into the store I was wearing my SS GMT that I bought only 3 month earlier!!!

So in my book, you're moving too slow.

shedlock2000 · 26 May 2008, 03:27 PM

Err, i dont really understand what your asking? or why the need for this thread? It was a done deal before you hi the new thread button. If it wasnt.....it should have been!!!

Go get it man, its a no brainer, you know you will regret it forever if you dont. one of the last pepsi GMT II............hmmm

Let me take just a lil while longer to think about it..........

MOVE MAN, MOVE!

jasonbellevue · 26 May 2008, 03:32 PM

I will help you with your problem, Allen.

Just PM me your AD and I will take care of your problem.

Hamilton Carvalho · 26 May 2008, 04:09 PM

Get it first then think about it; trust me it works.

You need to buy it or you'll regret it. Life is short....

HDHNTER · 27 May 2008, 07:52 AM

Thanks for being the great sounding board I knew you all would be....fricken enablers, lmao. Waiting on the call from the AD to confirm it's being transferred. The sales rep told me that Rolex frowns on transfers between stores in different regions/states but that he was pretty sure he could arrange it. Hopefully he comes through. Of course pics will be posted as soon as I have it if all works out. If he doesn't come through I'll post where it's located for other members. They also have a "M" GMT II "Coke" at my local AD which I tried on and confirmed a wiggle test pass. 5% discount was offered up quickly as well.

Tools · 27 May 2008, 08:24 AM

You won't regret this one...........

neutrons · 27 May 2008, 09:39 AM

My M series Pepsi is on the way and I just bought a GMT-IIC. I fund that the IIC didn't sync with me, but the Pepsi does, so I will flip the IIC soon...can't wait for the Pepsi. Get it and enjoy it for many years!

Scooby · 27 May 2008, 10:46 AM

Not sure I see a problem here Allen.

Also, are you in NoVA or down by VA Beach? My AD had a couple of pepsi/coke GMTs yesterday, at least one of which was M. He was telling me about a guy who called, asking about serial numbers, hunting for a 3186 in an old style GMTII.

VA Beach but this particular AD is in Richmond. It was a face to face visit for me so different guy

East Bay Rider · 27 May 2008, 12:55 PM

If you don't get it someone else will. You deserve it more. Go get it.

gtbike72 · 27 May 2008, 12:59 PM

Buy it, if you have the $$$$ if not ask for 0% for 12 month

That's exactly what JJ said when he started collecting sheep, then they broke out and now cover the whole country.

zak98 · 27 May 2008, 09:58 PM

yep.. buy it.. i just got my gmt II m series pepsi a couple weeks ago, becoming scarce, and when you see them "previously owned" the price has increase about 20% over the last few months. if you can swing it financially i would buy it.

ROLEX MAN · 27 May 2008, 10:45 PM

If you can afford it. massage your soul and BUY!

HDHNTER · 28 May 2008, 02:59 AM

Just got the call confirming it's being transferred. Haven't committed to buying it yet but I'm strongly leaning in that direction. As soon as it arrives the AD is putting it in the safe for me until I get over there to check it out. Chances are once I see it I'll end up bringing it home. I'm drawing the proverbial line in the sand after this one though...no more watch purchases for a year.
