Crystal Pepsi - 126719BLRO

I really would love for that to be the common name for this one, fits too well.

Seems like a mixed review on this one but I personally love it, let my AD know I'd be happy to put a deposit down on this one.

From my personal experience, any PM Rolex is pretty easy to get in a short period of time. If you're a serious buyer in this range you can get almost anything in a month. Hopefully, that remains the same and I'll be able to enjoy this one soon!

How about Haley’s Comet. You only see one once every 75 years.

Personally I feel like this is unique in a good way. It's not for me personally, but I can appreciate it for what it is.

I’m coming around on it. May be the whitish though. This in white and I’d throw it on the list. I actually have no Rolex list for 2019. Kinda liberating

In this photo it has black hands so it's pretty legible. In other photos it has gold hands. Which is it?

There is something about this that has my interest. I kind of like it, can not wait to see one in the flesh.....there may be a possibility for me on this one. Somehow, I am excited!

I really like it, it reminds me of the Pan Am management white dial Pepsi of yesteryear

This is the mythical unicorn watch, if I had the funds I would buy it, big time

Like the name...not sure about the watch yet.

Big fan of the meteorite Daytona, but this one doesn't sing to me for some reason. And I am more of a GMT guy than Daytona. Maybe that will change if I see in person.

This is actually the only watch I like from Basel this year. Absolutely stunning with that meteorite dial

I like that it evokes the white-dial Pan-Am GMT. However, I can't help but think that an actual white dial would just plain look better.

I'm a little surprised Rolex is still trying to push the PM version of the BLRO colorway. I think everyone expected them to let it go after the blue-dial version didn't draw much interest. I wonder if Rolex feels like it needs more PM sales to support the development costs of bicolour bezel. It's not like Rolex needs the money, but it does feel like they really want to keep that bezel on a PM watch for some reason.

For me I am not in love with this with the blue dial, the color of the blue is too dark. Adding that light dial on white gold makes for an incredible contrast of color on the bezel.

I think this watch is just awesome! Just wait for the celebrities show off this new GMT, then suddenly everybody loves it.. I mean it´s a little bit like that albino "unicorn" GMT Master from the past right?

Please post some pictures once you get this Crystal Pepsi!
