Chomping at the bit.............

I don't know, maybe it's the unusually warm temps. I typically wait till it's officially spring or daylight savings time. I had an itch to scratch. Out with the coke, in with the pepsi.



But then that's the beauty of the most versatile watch Rolex has ever produced. Each bezel exudes it's own personality. Add straps & bracelets and the opportunities become endless. Will Rolex ever release anything like it again?

I opted for coke.



I blame it on the autoconnect.

I suspect not any new one would have a ceramic bezel, not aluminium which is so easy to change. I have Coke Pepsi and Black Bezels and each one changes the look of the watch. Factor in different bracelet Nato or leather straps and it makes it really versitile.

Beautiful watch you have there Dan.

Highly doubt it, my friend Dan, that's why the demand for that beauty is huge!
Enjoy the spring and the beauty

Very nice. I'm hunting for a newer Pepsi bezel to go with my Black, Coke, and Faded Pepsi bezels. Why are they so hard to find?
