Awesome review. Did you attempt to see if the oyster bracelet fits on the adjusted case of the SS Pepsi? Maybe I haven't done diligent enough research, but I remember this was a question a lot of people were asking around the time the SS Pepsi was shown at Basel

Hi mate,
It does fit and requires minimal work.
I was going to (still might?), do a video of it and how to change it over.

Refer to this forum post for a look in the meantime :)

Hi mate,
Thanks for that.
Still working through the best format etc, however i think I’m on the right track.
I’m a person who likes information without blabbing on, so hopefully that shows through long term.

Thanks for joining me.

Great review,
Not sure you sold me on the Batman on the review tho. :)

TheRtHonA · 25 July 2018, 04:55 AM

Great review, love the side-by-side.

It's a tough decision but the way the bezel pops on the batman and the oyster bracelet means it slightly edges it.

116710 brother! lol I had to double check thinking i've been using the wrong ref number

They’re both special . I regret I passed on a Batman years ago... but I love the jubilee on the new Pepsi... on my wrist it wears beautifully, along with the smaller lugs.. I belove rllex was going for a patina look on the Pepsi... and made it duller than other ceramic bezels. The Batman is gorgeous as well. No one asked, but those are my thoughts. Thank you for the great review and video.

Hi mate,
I too think that the Pepsi has a little throw back vibe to it.
Thanks for the feedback :)

blah114 · 1 August 2018, 09:30 AM

I wonder in the long run, after the hype... I can see the Batman going up in value if discontinued.... above the Pepsi.if a coke comes out... wow, will that be something else. When I wear the Pepsi, it’s so light... I don’t even notice it. When I wore the Batman at store, it was a bit large for,me. Then I bought a deep blue later that year, so who knows. I don’t think the Pepsi is being praised for its understated appearance enough. And I believe, or would like to believe, that’s what Rolex intended.... the white gold Pepsi bezel seems to pop more, if I remember. The red is more “brilliant” on the white gold version. The honest truth is the Black gmt is a bargain right now.... that’s as nice as the Batman, to me.

Thank you

blacke90 · 6 August 2018, 12:46 AM

This might be a stupid question, but is the blue on the Batman the same blue as on the Pepsi? The Pepsi looks more purpleish to me. Could be lightning?

I don’t have technical specs.. but the Pepsi blue is dull either because it’s different or because it doesn’t have gloss. I’ve seen the two pieces side by side. The Pepsi blue is very dull whereas the Batman blue can be spotted from far away.

blacke90 · 15 August 2018, 04:34 PM

Thanks for the response. I had someone who kept telling me they were the same, but to me both look very different from each other. I do agree that the blue on the BLNR seems pop or standout more. I have not seen the Pepsi in real life yet.

Yep, the blue is duller than the Batman for sure. I always thought that the Batman blue was dull, until I got my Pepsi :(

blacke90 · 17 August 2018, 02:48 PM

Big Congrats on getting your Pepsi!

Just watched the video, great review. I also prefer the Batman over the Pepsi.

Beautiful pieces

raclaims · 28 August 2018, 02:16 AM

I got the "batman" back in 2013 and rarely wear it any longer.

Got my pepsi this weekend...I think the pepsi is the winner for someone like me who has a a few watches in the collection...the bracelet makes it stand out vs just another oyster bracelet rolex...plus I really like the red much more than I expected after seeing the WG version
