Pepsi at Turdneau...

Hmm. Perhaps I’ll just pop over and pick one up during my lunch hour...

i love it when they advertise unavailable watches. Its almost as bad as when Harrods released the first print advertisement for the LE tudor that had already been 100% pre sold before the advertisement even ran.

What's the point? Come in and ask for it so we can laugh in your face and tell you to dream on.

What a weird turn of events. I would have never thought I couldn't buy a Rolex I wanted from an AD.

I saw that ad a couple of days ago, and my first reactions was, "Oh, sweet, they're offering the jubilee on a regular GMT!" Then I realised that the poster had just faded in the sun and it was the usual Pepsi.

Why advertised something that they can't provide? Bait and switch?

You might be able to get a Pepsi soda but doubt you’d be able to grab a GMT!

Sitting at the departure gate in Dubai International waiting for my connecting flight to Cape Town. I stopped off at the Rolex counter and asked the salesman if they’ve received a GMT Pepsi yet and his response was that it’ll probably be a year before they receive their first May have been said in jest, maybe not.

I use to work at that building in the background of your photo! Man, sometimes I really miss my quick walks over to the Ferry building. Great coffee, raw oysters, ice cream, charcuterie, and anything else you want (except a Rolex Pepsi ) all in one place!

I’m sure you could also find a Diet Coke. Another kind of soda you won’t get at Turdneau.
