Two Pepsis go into a Light Box

[pepsiretail]

Thanks for all the replies, very hard to keep up!

Here is a pic before they went into the “dark box” lol

Expanding so the blues are at each side helps, they really are quite different.

There’s an argument that it is nonsensical to consider the inserts as matter of fact mk1, mk2 and so on, although there does seem to be specific time periods that appear to coincide with clearly distinct color variations, 3 as far as I’ve seen personally. Now of course there may be slightly variations within those three groups which is why I won’t argue about whether or not mk1, 2s and 3s are a thing.

But that said, there are variations, and there are people that straight up disliked the earlier variations And absolutely love the second and vice versa. So while you clearly don’t care about which variation you have, It’s nonsensical to think most people wouldn’t care. The colors are so different that it might actually affect your decision on buying the watch.

It’s like buying a car, the dealer telling you it’s Only available and three different blues and you saying, yeah I’ll take any of them. If you love all three variations, yeah of course, any will do, but if they’re different, they’re different, and most likely people will always have different perspectives and preference on the colors.

lol I just checked some of your threads so do you really want to go down the who cares road? lol eg.

“Who Here Has Been Singing the Song Wrong All This Time”?

I care because, as Chadridv said, I love that I have my version. It's like Rolex made me a watch exactly to my tastes and then immediately stopped production. It is near certain to never be available new again. Plus its extreme rarity means whoever I leave it to will care a great deal!

I got the call from my AD today and it’s clearly a mk2.

Sure!

Agreeance and dissent are a daily occurrence on this thread and the right of every member. Your so called extreme rarity based on one persons dogged opinion does not make it a fact, extremely rare or even a MK1. Keep fighting the fight and I’ll continue to still not care and I also have a new Pepsi. Nice 126710 bye the way.

I’ll also vote my thread was more original but your also welcome to your opinion! Lol

Hi Jona, how are you today?

Yeah, a modern stainless steel Rolex sport model only made for a few months, I think it qualifies as extremely rare

Your concern for my welfare is noted and logged.

Perhaps you should get one of these:

And we can ascribe a specific Angstrom measurement to the bezel colors.

If the “dogged opinion” you mention is referring to my post, I’d like to clarify, I never said it was extremely rare or even rare at all. I merely said the early production clearly have a different blue color than the others. If you don’t agree with the color variation I think you should get your eyes checked. Mk1, 2 or 3, or rarity doesn’t have to play a roll in that statement.

I actually looked into that! lol

If you spend enough time going through their products you will see that it really is not doable. I’ve actually called people about it lol.

Here’s the thing, I don’t need that (although I am salivating at the prospect) to tell the difference between mine and others in person. In fact I can just look at any Pepsi in real life and know right away if it is different than mine. That’s because I’ve spent so much time with mine as I was one of the lucky few who got one so soon from their AD.

I am glad you pursued a means of documenting the different bezel colors. I am not saying there are or are not, but quantifying it would be helpful rather than one person sees the difference and another does not.

It's obviously not a case like a flat vs pointed 4 which can be readily identified.

As far as value, I guess time will tell. As an aside, I met my perceived dual time zone need with the TT SkyD.
