New Pepsi Precious metal - white gold?

Well, just watching The Apprentice this evening and happened to spot Sir Alan wearing what appeared to be a more chunky version of the Pepsi.

I may be wrong, however, definitely PM and looked more robust than the normal GMT line.

Just my opinion but it definitely looked different than the normal case and was not stainless steel.

Any assistance would be welcomed......

Dimensions are the same as SS although the weight is significantly different.

Looked like a 126719BLRO, and perhaps with mk1 bezel.

My error; a Mk1 bezel would really make it a 116719BLRO.

For some reason it looked like a larger case. Maybe my eyes playing tricks on me.

Not disputing the weight, however it visually looked larger than my Pepsi. Could have been the camera angle making it appear more substantial.

It's a very different watch on Oyster, I know what you mean.

He’s a midget so it’s an optical illusion

The wrist of the wearer makes a huge difference indeed.

We were watching Property Guys last evening and Sterling Brown of This is us fame was wearing a Submariner that looked like a deepsea

Indeed, I was thinking that too. He's not the biggest chap and thought that may be the case. The bezel look very vibrant compared to normal. That may have been the lighting conditions though.

Like Brian said, wrist size plays a big part in how the watch wears or appears.
Also, Oyster wears larger than Jubilee.
