Openworked Daytona pepsi. Might be an MK1 but I'm not sure

WILLIWALKER · 8 February 2020, 07:23 PM

Model with overturned horns, Wow !! ��
+ left hand !

RJRJRJ · 8 February 2020, 07:27 PM

Whats going on here? Is the dial on the backside? Looks pretty awesome tbh.

mailman · 8 February 2020, 07:58 PM

It's a Destro which makes it even more rare

swatty · 8 February 2020, 08:04 PM

I see what you did there

padi56 · 8 February 2020, 08:06 PM

As we all should know according to the net and many watch forums all Rolex are rare. But must admit that one is a bit more rare than the other watches produced in there thousands each year.But it looks like like a MK4 or MK3 or was it a MK2 or MK1.

Lol getting in on the mk version fun. Just minor variances in the batches to me.
Don’t think anything definitive on the bezels to me

That is exactly what it is.

Basel 2020, Daytona LHD with Pepsi bezel confirmed?!

Speedbird-1 · 8 February 2020, 08:36 PM

Hahaha!
Excellent, Bas!

I trust, that's NOT your handiwork, on the top left lug?

Bas, you'll have seen the Rolex parts lists. Do ALL the 126710 BLRO ceramic bezel inserts have exactly the same part number?

No this is one of those guys with their own springbar tool and aftermarket springbars...

Yes all the 126710 blro ceramic inserts have the exact same number. Rolex does not give a rats a$$ about mk1,2,3,etc

Looks like you'd have to take the watch off and turn it over to tell the time, or am I missing something here...?!

Thanks Bas,

That's interesting.

Assuming, of course, that there IS a variance of hue in these bezels.
I was wondering, in say, 10-20 years time a client brings his 12670 BLRO in for repair 'cause they've damaged the bezel, and lost the ceramic insert. How would a watchmaker know which 'colour variation' was correct to that particular watch?

Bluepilot15 · 9 February 2020, 08:46 AM

It’s clearly been polished.

There's definitely a difference in hue, there's no denying that.
But say you own an early blro with 'mk1' and for some reason you accidentally break it you will receive whatever batch they're making right now. And if that somehow affects the value, well too bad...

How do you tell the time with this one?

Ooops. I forgot. You can always check the phone.

MTdweller · 8 February 2020, 09:40 PM

Wow. Rolex QC is slipping, crazy these are making their way out of the factory . . . but I still love it!

Nah it's the RSC personnel fault, they let a complete idiot like me work on daytonas and GMT masters, and this is what happens

Is this model worn upside down to protect against bezel scratches? ;o)

Noah860 · 8 February 2020, 10:15 PM

Oh man I love a good Basel leak!!! Guessing it’ll only be in platinum or white gold. Wait, will the clock always read 41:30, that’s confusing.

HogwldFLTR · 8 February 2020, 10:16 PM

How much do you want for it? Would you trade a Platona?
