Incoming Pepsi; wondering if too blingy for a daily?

Roger Lococco · 11 August 2019, 01:20 PM

No. It’s perfect. A beautiful and highly functional watch.

First, congrats on the incoming watch.

Why would it be?

Yes, I'll take it off your hands so you aren't to flashy.

Nope, I wear mine as a daily.

GJ-PGMTII · 11 August 2019, 01:36 PM

Well my wife keeps commenting on how she, "loves how it sparkles", and "keeps noticing the strap", so .... yeah it’s too blingy.

But I can’t stop wearing it, since I’ve loved it since the mid 80s.

They should’ve put the oyster on the SS and the jubilee on the WG.

Of course it is. That's the point of it.

GB-man · 11 August 2019, 02:08 PM

It’s possibly the most easy to spot as a Rolex among the SS line. It’s a beautiful piece but make no mistake, people who know anything about watches at all will know you’re wearing a Rolex from 10 feet away.

Who cares really

Rob CooK · 11 August 2019, 02:11 PM

Perfect daily

In my opinion it is because of the Jubilie. Just personal pref of course.

Boaters · 11 August 2019, 02:23 PM

I think it looks great

Tools · 11 August 2019, 02:23 PM

it was good enough for Chuck Yeager and Magnum PI.

Thanks for all the replies! Pics coming soon.

dibarch · 11 August 2019, 02:27 PM

I think it’s truly beautiful I saw one in person for the first time on somebody last week the colors are amazing.

That’s essentially why I was asking.

Timesensitive · 11 August 2019, 02:58 PM

Guy at the next table to me at lunch today had a Pepsi / Jubilee (I think his wife was wearing a Hulk). Definitely noticeable in a good way, but not really a blingy look to me. Looked like a classy sport watch. The DD40 YG I was wearing, however..... LOL

The Pepsi on Jubilee had a really nice look in the metal, from 5 feet away :) Get it and enjoy it!!

As an aside, I was in an affluent shopping area at the time and I would bet I noticed a dozen various Rolex references over a few hours. Myself, my wife & daughter had 3 between us, so we added to the count for sure. Of course, there were also many others including a few Cartier's that caught my eye (maybe next on the list). Odd to see that many in the wild - but not that unexpected in some areas.

Cheers

MHB · 11 August 2019, 03:02 PM

To be honest, yes I think so. It is an obnoxious looking watch. I would go 16710 for half the money and not even think twice.

Agreed. Wish it was on an oyster. Hope they offer it in the future

Frendrick · 11 August 2019, 03:22 PM

For me, yes. Blingy in a good way, although not very suitable for daily use IMO. The attractive looking bezel, plus the eye catching jubilee makes it a blingy piece. That is also what makes me thinking of selling it as I’m not being comfortable being so “flashy”

although it is very very very comfortable for daily use.

Pongster · 11 August 2019, 03:22 PM

Nope

Blingy if you put diamonds

Verdi · 11 August 2019, 04:02 PM

It’s got more bling than I wish to have....mainly because of the jubile bracelet.
Watch would be perfect with a brushed oyster.....

Only problem is 16710 isnt half the price its actually 3k more.....not sure obnoxious is a fair description though

huba01 · 11 August 2019, 04:42 PM

Perfect allrounder

Xtralarg · 11 August 2019, 04:43 PM

It's a beautiful watch, far far from bling in my opinion.

kans86 · 11 August 2019, 04:51 PM

Definitely bling, if compared with a Sub or Daytona for example. But it is beautiful and fine to wear.

Dchan83 · 11 August 2019, 04:56 PM

Not at all...classy band coupled with the sport design Makes for a great watch

For some, no. For me, yes. A professional model looks better on a brushed oyster bracelet, IMHO. The GMT on jubilee looks busy and blingy.
