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

In the end due to the colors, GMTs (apart from the new GRNRs) are pretty loud watches. That is and has certainly been attractive for a lot of buyers in the past few years, but I don't think this will be the case in the future.

I certainly remember times, when really no one wanted a GMT. You couldn't give them away for the longest time, especially the WG surounds 16750s. I am really fascinated by the fact that after the introduction of the new Pepsi everyone seemed to forget and vintage GMTs have soared. No one wanted them for years. They always traded below subs for example.

Since the Zenith, Daytonas have always been the Rolex grail. I think that won't change any time soon, regardless of what some dealers will tell you.

Back in the day, all rolex could be purchased at a discount and some sat in the case for month, including the Daytona. those days are long gone.

Why do humans climb Mt. Everest?

Why do men seek to drive fast cars?

Why are just under half the people on Earth less than average?

Because some things are self-evident?

When did people start caring about sneakers? They're just shoes made of plastic and some cheapish leather.

The Pepsi is only for the most discriminating clients, leaders and visionaries in our society.

Never been a fan of the ceramic BLRO (and I have been offered it twice). The "burple" colors are an embarrassment to the original version, and the cartoonish sized numerals on bezel do not help either.

Just do not see its attraction, but to each his own.

Owned the BLRO. 5 digit is the better piece by far.

I would definitely prefer GMT over Daytona. The color choices makes matching/pairing a joy and the GMT function is more useful for me than chrono.

Whether BLRO is above or below Daytona, as long as you enjoy it, nothing else matters. Definitely enjoying mine more than
