Thank you, I consider myself very fortunate.

I don't know if I'd say Pepsi is a halo SS piece from Rolex, but having seen one in the flesh pictures do not do the watch justice. The bezel really pops, without being "too much"

Pepsi has always been popular and in high demand, daytona is the pinnacle of rolex refined watches

I have had many more comments on wearing my GMT than the Daytona.

It's hard to say for certain, but I would guess that Rolex aimed to develop another sought-after model that buyers could invest in.

How did the Pepsi suddenly become a Rolex “Halo” Piece?

Because

The BLRO is a cool watch and one of the hype pieces from Rolex. I like it and own it but based on value it would be one of the first to go if I need funds for a big trade or sell.

BLRO has always been my favorite watch model. No desire whatsoever for a Daytona in my collection.
Collectors complain about the bezel colors on the ceramic BLRO yet go crazy over BLROs with faded aluminum bezels which I find amusing.

The only problem with the ceramic Pepsi now is that it looks more like a Coke due to its muted blue

My sources tell me BLRO is now above Daytona in terms of “you won’t get it”.
That can’t be true? I got allocated a Pepsi but was basically told not a chance on a Daytona by my AD.

Pepsi is almost impossible to get... on par with Daytona and in 2023/2024 Pepsi is a bit harder.

I don’t think the king of the crown is the Daytona or the BLRO. The submariner has a strong hold with that position. That or the datejust. As far as hard to get, the SS Daytona is much harder to get from my experience. I could have had the BLRO but went for the BLNR instead.

That's not the proper use of the word "halo" when it comes to manufacturing. Rolex is kinda boring in their designs and don't really have a halo piece. A PP grandmaster chime or a AP skeleton double balance in ceramic would be closer to the proper usage of the term "halo".

Both are beautiful watches but I am slightly toward the symmetry of Daytona plus I have smaller wrist feels much more comfortable. Debating to put up Pepsi for sale but end up pull off the ad
