Openworked Daytona pepsi. Might be an MK1 but I'm not sure

WILLIWALKER · 8 February 2020, 07:23 PM

Model with overturned horns, Wow !! ��
+ left hand !

RJRJRJ · 8 February 2020, 07:27 PM

Whats going on here? Is the dial on the backside? Looks pretty awesome tbh.

mailman · 8 February 2020, 07:58 PM

It's a Destro which makes it even more rare

swatty · 8 February 2020, 08:04 PM

I see what you did there

padi56 · 8 February 2020, 08:06 PM

As we all should know according to the net and many watch forums all Rolex are rare. But must admit that one is a bit more rare than the other watches produced in there thousands each year.But it looks like like a MK4 or MK3 or was it a MK2 or MK1.

Basel 2020, Daytona LHD with Pepsi bezel confirmed?!

Speedbird-1 · 8 February 2020, 08:36 PM

Hahaha!
Excellent, Bas!

I trust, that's NOT your handiwork, on the top left lug?

Bas, you'll have seen the Rolex parts lists. Do ALL the 126710 BLRO ceramic bezel inserts have exactly the same part number?

Pongster · 8 February 2020, 09:22 PM

How do you tell the time with this one?

Ooops. I forgot. You can always check the phone.

No this is one of those guys with their own springbar tool and aftermarket springbars...

Yes all the 126710 blro ceramic inserts have the exact same number. Rolex does not give a rats a$$ about mk1,2,3,etc

MTdweller · 8 February 2020, 09:40 PM

Wow. Rolex QC is slipping, crazy these are making their way out of the factory . . . but I still love it!

Nah it's the RSC personnel fault, they let a complete idiot like me work on daytonas and GMT masters, and this is what happens

Number3 · 8 February 2020, 09:57 PM

Is this model worn upside down to protect against bezel scratches? ;o)

Noah860 · 8 February 2020, 10:15 PM

Oh man I love a good Basel leak!!! Guessing it’ll only be in platinum or white gold. Wait, will the clock always read 41:30, that’s confusing.

HogwldFLTR · 8 February 2020, 10:16 PM

How much do you want for it? Would you trade a Platona?

Fat_ninja · 8 February 2020, 10:23 PM

Crown is unscrewed. You'll get moisture inside.

A one of a kind vs a mass produced platona?

no no no

That’s an easy fix...if you know what you’re doing

Pongster · 8 February 2020, 10:35 PM

But before anything else, i think i need to see it mounted on a bracelet first.

Or is it a pocket watch?

77T · 8 February 2020, 10:37 PM

Bas - you have hit upon a new way to make the Daytona even more popular!

I do see some truth in your humor, though. All the drivers who compete in endurance racing like Rolex24, 12h@Sebring, Le Mans, WEC, etc. are time zone hoppers as well as Daytona lovers. I’d wager that many of the civilian owners are in same boat (er, car).

The existing Daytona Bezel is fairly obsolete for practical use in measuring speed or units. But a rotating Pepsi bezel plus a GMT running train added to the chrono and a 24hr. hand would be a great result.

Yes...I know it needs a mock-up but you have the parts right there...go bold young man!

Heart broken...(and relieved)!!!!

ROlesorusLEX · 8 February 2020, 10:45 PM

I recently bought one of these new style Pepsis you've got here from a place called Horology House, and I am looking forward to receiving it 2 day express.

Someone has already offered me a MK 5 Batgirl if I give them this watch and $5000.

Is it worth it?
