I got a Pepsi Submariner

Hello guys, i stumbled upon a rolex submariner wich has a pepsi bezel and white background. I've never seen one before and that makes me think it's fake, if you guys could tell me anything i'd really appreciate it. On a sidenote, it's not mine, it's a friend's but i find it intriguing somehow.

I stumbled upon a post about non-existent Rolex. It appears as a post of a human, has words and even sentences but lacks any common sense when you put them together. Not my post, not even my friends, not even a real post, but soooo intriguing

I think I know what's going on here. There are 2 possible scenarios:
(A) An Albino or White Face Sub
Your friend has a customized Rolex Sub whereby the rotating steel bezel has been replaced with an aftermarket Pepsi insert and a corresponding white dial

OR

(B ) Did you see a 3 or a 4 hander watch ? A GMT is easily missed at first glance if the GMT hand overlaps the minute hand. Perhaps your friend has a Frankenwatch a.k.a Rolex Mod watch. It's basically a Rolex Pepsi GMT Master but the original black dial has been replaced with an Explorer II white dial .The principal idea is of course to aesthetically mimic a Rolex Albino Pan Am a.k.a Vanilla Pepsi GMTI once had a Timex Indiglo that looked exactly like the one in the photo

It is possible to put a GMT pepsi bezel insert into a Submariner bezel but it doesn't do much good as there is no 24 hour hand to correlate to it. However, Rolex did not make a white dial Submariner.

With aftermarket parts any sort of frankenwatch is doable.

Some of you guys are pathetic, bashing me while searching for some info. What i can guess is that you guys have no friends whatsoever, living a digital life compensating for the lack of the real one. On a more serious note, thanks those who where actually helpful.

Actually Rolex made a white dial pepsi GMT for Pan-Am executives. No modification would have been needed. https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/Al...MT-Master-6542

It is one of the best Rolexes ever made.

I believe Rolex did make a white dial "albino" sub. It would not be a pepsi bezel, and as pointed out above you would know what it was if you owned it. http://static.squarespace.com/static.../?format=1000w

A lot of first time posters pop up here asking if their Grandfather's/friend's/uncle's watch is real, and it does make some members here a little jaded.

Don't take it personally.

The watch is a bad fake. It's a mishmash of Rolex styles and models and is so wrong on so many levels. It deserves some modification with a ball pein hammer.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that watches those things. I don’t have a clue why either. It’s the train wreck thing I guess. Just to hear the way they talk about them as if they are the Mona Lisa makes me laugh. They love them some abalone.

That was the watch you were referring too ?
Jeeezzz...I was cracking my head trying to figure out your friend's mysterious Albino Sub!! Even Rolex made about a 100 of those Albino Pan Am GMTs
Ok. I wasn't expecting those photos you posted but thank you very much. Now go and tell your friend ,Meganfox17 says

->That's a Fake watch made in China , somewhere between Hong Kong and Macau.There's a hologram sticker on the backcasing that reads 16233 isnt it ?

You could order it online at aFundeal.com and the listed price is USD 158.99 , discounted during the festive holidays

-> Even so ,that's not even a genuine fake and those watches are available in my local fleabay market in Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur. Seasoned bargain hunters could get the watch at one third of retail price

--> The watch is fitted with an automatic Zhu Ming movement made in Guangdong , China

--> Halloween is coming real soon.Your friend's white dial blue red bezel fake Sub would be offered at a special online price of USD 29.99 + Free Shipping !

Ok.That's a Wrap guys. Agent Fox signing Out. Peace
