My favorite Pepsi has a blue face!

I saw the blue dial WG Pepsi, and it is BY FAR my favorite Pepsi by a long shot! It is THAT stunning.

The blue dial makes all the difference. The black dial just does not fit that watch for me now. If you own a black dialed version, do yourself a favor and don’t look at this version

I would love to see one in person. I think I love the blue complement to the bezel.

Do you own the white gold as well? Wondering what you prefer about the steel version?

I do not own the WG. Nothing against the watch, I like Steel Professional models more than PM, for the classicism, heritage and purposefulness.

With the new Pepsi the black dial, on either model, looks better to my eye but I understand the appeal of the blue dial’s exclusivity.

I would like to see this side-by-side with the WG Sub. It’s not the same blue, is it?

Stunning either way

Have you tried to tell the time on a meteorite? Virtually impossible. I love it, but it is very hard to read and not just saying because I have the blue dial.

I don’t own it but there’s a meteorite DayDate at a local AD. It’s not any worse than a DJ with gold dial/ gold hands/ gold indexes/ gold fluted bezel.

Sorry, I thought we were only talking about the 126719BLRO and not other models.

The black dial shows a nice contrast (that the blue dial lacks) and is the classic Pepsi look....so I’ll stick with the pleasing traditional look.

Well, unless you are purchasing white gold, you don’t have a choice.
