Congrats Don!!!!!

Stef_Call · 10 October 2007, 09:09 AM

Congrats !! Bet you end up wearing it all the time :) It will be hard to take that beauty off :)

BiG JeEzY · 10 October 2007, 09:14 AM

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

The GMTII Pepsi is becoming more difficult to find in brand new condition nowadays. Its great that you were able to pick one up before they will no longer be available in brand new condition once and for all.

Plus, there is still the uncertainty if Rolex will make a pepsi bezel out of ceramic or not. If we never ever see the pepsi GMT in production again, it will just go to show how special your watch really is.

Enjoy your watch in the very best of health!

Great choice..

Great watch..

gha · 10 October 2007, 09:17 AM

Sounds Great! I am sure that this has been answered, but is the age/date the only dif between I & II ...?

That and also the earlier GMT Is had a different movement than the ones seen today. The older ones, like the GMT 1 I own, does not allow you to "jump" the hour hand in one hour intervals.

gha · 10 October 2007, 09:27 AM

Oh well, more quality time spent when setting/adjusting the time.

EvEr34 · 10 October 2007, 10:16 AM

Congrats Don. Great watch you'll love it. I'd have a hard time parting with mine. (red/black)

What will your watch be doing during these times?

That's what I say. You've had the watch for three days already!!

Seriously, congrats on the new watch. It's a great feeling.

Jedi · 10 October 2007, 01:26 PM

You'll be very fond of this watch I'm sure.

When I got mine, it was difficult each day to either wear it or the Sub, but now I've managed to alternate them.

Enjoy it, you'll love it.

SPACE-DWELLER · 10 October 2007, 05:59 PM

Congrats on getting the "Pepsi"

Here's a photo Bo... fresh off of my wrist.

SPACE-DWELLER · 10 October 2007, 08:09 PM

An absolute BEAUTY!

Thanks a lot for posting it!

Jedi · 10 October 2007, 08:13 PM

The 18hour marker looks a bit different to every other one I've seen here though, Bo.

On most, the red/blue mark occurs just above the 1, between the 8.

Small matter, but somehow it bugs me.

Also, apologies for not having the bezel lined up in the shot!

And the186Element, please post a pic of your Pepsi!!

the186element · 11 October 2007, 07:10 AM

Maybe some pictures this weekend.New camera/Rolex not enough time.

I would not worry about that

Rolex has made various versions of the GMT "Pepsi" bezel insert where the BLUE and RED "cuts" the numbers in different ways.

I believe Mike posted a pic of those differences just recently?
