Thanks everyone. I had my first “Rolex Pepsi” notice in the wild. My little rural section of the country and a guy in line at Burger King at a travel center noticed my BLRO and sheepishly asked “If that is the Rolex Pepsi?” I was stunned. He was polite and said
“I have never seen one in person”. I said, yea they are pretty rare these days and he seemed rather “star struck”. I am sure he was just passing through going to the PSU game on Sat.
It was a positive experience but shocked in my little “John Deere” section of the state had someone notice and he probably was just as shocked how the hell a Pepsi is in such a rural/conservative area.

I’m late to the party Mystro

Happy 50th and congratulations on your BLRO, it’s truly a stunning watch

Your review was great and covers off all the reasons why this my favourite reference including: caseback, jubilee comfort and bezel colors. I also own a 2018 (new from AD). The legibility of the dial is what stands out to me the most as it’s juxtaposed against the playful colors of the bezel. That’s what really struck me most when compared to my divers.

Enjoy it in good health

Nope, BLNR was traded on. I repositioned my collection a bit. I don’t get rid of many Rolex models but I will say I have never lost any money with any of my Rolex models regardless what I paid for them in the secondary market not that that is a major concern for me. I enjoy the hobby immensely and never look at this as a investment.

Beautiful watch. I'm on the list at my AD to celebrate my own upcoming 50th with the new sub, but after that I want a Pepsi on the oyster bracelet.

Where did you get those little felt pads? Those are great. I'm sure they even reduce the slight rattle sound that the clasp makes when touching or shifting on top of the bracelet links.
