New arrival...non ceramic pepsi


I flipped my K serial coke GMT 16710 for a Sub-C last year. I love my Sub-C, but had seller's remorse immediately.

This Z serial just came along with a black bezel & I couldn't pass it up. Now its back from Chicago RSC with a new pepsi insert. I've learned my lesson...this one's a keeper. Still undecided between coke & pepsi so I guess I have to have 1 of each.

I Love it! Pure horological excellence! I recall you thinking about the 216570 when Rolex started to trickle them into the States... Did you get the chance to handle one?

Yes, tried on both the white and black. Like them, don't love them.
