Pepsi

My Pepsi is a little over two years old. I bought it new from the AD in October 2022. This is my daily watch when I’m not wearing my Royal Oak, which is worn mostly in the office and for special occasions. The Pepsi looks just as good as it did the day I bought it thanks in large part to the ceramic bezel and jubilee bracelet, neither of which show much wear.

Not much beats a Pepsi in an ///M!




Let’s see yours!

Right there with you brother. Beautiful shots

Bought mine from my AD in Dec of 2018 after the Basel launch and looks as good today as the day I bought it. The jubilee is so comfortable and doesn’t show wear like oysters (especially ones with PCL’s)

It still makes me smile every time I strap it on, which is often

Saw one on oyster today at a local AD, can’t say I love it on that bracelet. Far nicer on jubilee. Also saw GRNR on both oyster and jubilee. Again, it’s a winner on the jubilee.

Pepsi on Jubilee! My #1 favorite GMT and grail! Beautiful pics guys. Glad to see you're fully enjoying them.

Great wrist shot. I can't get the blue on mine to pop like that. Maybe I haven't hit the right lighting yet.

Great watch. I’m in the minority and did not like the wearing experience of the jubilee so flipped my Batgirl. But I wanted a GMT - came down to Pepsi or Root Beer. Kind of a 50/50 jump ball - so the oyster on the RB pushed me over. I really wish they had a coke.

The only thing that beats the BLRO for me is the BLRO with both bracelets.

Well said and I concur with your thoughts on Pepsi. To me nothing matches the colorful charm of a ceramic Pepsi on jubilee.

Feel the same way! I know too much Pepsi is not good for you but I can’t help it :-)

So this thread has put me into a tailspin!

Been thinking about what the next addition to the collection would be and had narrowed it down to a Speedy Sandwich (kinda feel that any collector has to have a Moonwatch at some point) or a Batgirl (I don't own anything with dual timezone functionality and I travel enough that it would be a useful function).

BUT damn, those shots of the Pepsi look great (and that's coming from someone who always orders Coke over Pepsi!!!). Help!

There is no one who can help you here with Pepsi addiction :) Just get the watch!

Great pics guys.

Man, I’m torn- been waiting with my AD forever for a Daytona… and thought I better stick with only one ultra high demand request.
I think I’d actually wear the Pepsi a lot more.
I have the all black GMT and it’s probably my favorite watch right now.

Do it. Using your own logic if you feel every collector need a speedy than the same
Can be said of the Pepsi. It was the GMT that started it all. Make sure to post incoming pics of your new Pepsi when you get it.

The Pepsi really is a classic, and it's great to hear it's holding up so well. The ceramic bezel and jubilee bracelet are definitely a winning combo for durability and style!

The Pepsi in every form (year) was, is and it will be a classic icon, beauty and easily one watch only.
Great watches gentlemen, I don’t own one but sure do like and appreciate.
