Rolex Pepsi from AD

[dubins930]

Yes, such a great reduction in allocations for Pepsi. The prices will soon be in the millions for a BNIB example

They told me if I wanted the watch now it would be on Oyster but I can swap the bracelet, which I gladly agreed to. The bracelet swap will take a few weeks but I’m fine with that…

Picking it up on Tuesday.

Congratulations, looking forward to the incoming

Thank you! I was reluctant to post here until it was in hand, but wanted to answer the OPs question.
I have to say given the rumors I was quite nervous that I wouldn’t be so lucky.

My AD said she was going to wait to tell me to enhance the surprise factor, but my wife told her that it would be better to tell me now

Those were the exact words my wife used. It’s not on the bracelet I want but they will let me swap it…it was either that or continue to hope and wait

Yet the factories in China are able to produce superclones with 100% exact same results !!!

If an organization as big as rolex who mass produces their watches have issues creating a simple ceramic bezel then it’s a shame on them. They pride themselves on craftsmanship well majority of the work is done by robots and machines anyways.

not 2024, but December 2023... I asked for a BLRO for my 40th in mid November... My AD called two weeks later to confirm I would get one in December before my birthday. After 4 weeks I got the call and collected my GMT BLRO on Jubilee!

I have a good relationship with my AD, SA and GM.... also a fair purchase history with them.

Will the Daytona be in the Billions?

I got mine in Sept 2023.

I was able to get a Pepsi on Jubilee in October of 2023. The SA was surprised to see it. She stated that she hadn't seen one in months.

I got two Pepsi's in 2023.

I don't know, I think it looks great but on the wrist the Jub is a bit flimsy and is overpowered by the head, the Oyster is more sturdy and balanced I think. Nice to have both but if one I would choose Oyster. Jub for sure on a DJ.

Completely agree. I'd go one step further and swap the pcl oyster for a brushed bracelet from a 114060 with the glidelock.

Daytonas are becoming a bit more common. Will always be the flagship, but the Pepsi is more rare right now.

I'd hate to see the Pepsi GMT discontinued. To me, that is the Rolex GMT. I'd like to know that if I ever did have the opportunity to purchase one, that it would be available.

I don't know if there really is a bezel issue; does anyone for sure?
Seems the two-color ceramic bezel came about after alot of effort in development. And when they had finally worked it out, from then forward they seemed to have no issues. Seems odd they would have problems this far into the two-color ceramic era.
However, I do see a couple of possible reasons for an issue.

1. After the covid matter their raw materials for the bezels may be of a lower quality, and they may be struggling with developing additional in-house processes for material refinement.
This would not be surprising, as I've noticed a significant drop in the quality of products and services across the board that still persists.

2. Maybe they are exploring new processes or methods that are proving to be challenging.

But we can't know unless and until Rolex makes a statement.
And they are very good about playing close to the vest.
So all anyone has is speculation.

But the speculation can be fun.

Can you elaborate this? Does this mean if no BLRO on display/exhibition, zero BLRO inventory?

Could it be they can only produce X amount of 126710 models and it’s easier to produce the blue black or Green . Leaving the Red blue as more scarce.

Got mine summer 2018
