Could be the case in your area, but I received a Pepsi on oyster in December 2023.

I don't think your AD is lying. multiple SA's at various AD's I have spoken to have told me that they are seeing far less Pepsis in the last 8 months. I don't see why they would lie to me as we have had these conversations while Im wearing my own Pepsi, so they know I have no interest in that watch and they don't need to brush me off the way they normally brush off people. I don't believe the discontinuation rumors, but I do believe that Rolex is having some sort of issue with the bezel and they are definitley not producing as many as they normally do.

I am in no way connected with the Rolex charity, nor any AD...
But, here is a simple question regarding the 'how hard it is to make a bezel'.

Say I got one and I broke the bezel and I want it replaced. The RSC tells me a month (tops), then I break it again and again. What will they say? Wait a couple of years because we don't know how to make one?

Taken into account the quantity of Pepsis at Chrono 24 2023/24 in any given country I call this bull***t.

Another plausible factor is Rolex could be working on making the BLRO ceramic more durable as it has been know to be the easiest to get hairline cracks in from the beginning of its PM release. It uses a different compound of ceramic and is fired at a different temp and that could be why it is more prone to cracking. Rolex could easily be working on that or has been over the years. That may also count for its hue variations over the years and not searching for a more true red and blue color as many have interpreted.
