That's funny Harry. Naw, mine's good. We were moving the light around on the bezel while I was trying to snap the pic. But, I am like the others curious for someone to try this on one of the other GMT to see what happens.

The red under UV lighting is reminiscent of the first shades of red on the early releases of the ceramic BLRO offering, according to some.

I used to have a TT CHNR where the black would bleed into the brown under certain lighting conditions and the insert would occasionally look all black when it was lit just so. I didn't do the UV thing on it. If I had to guess I suspect it would have been black. Hopefully someone will supply some photo(s). |

Here’s my 2023 Pepsi next to a 2023 sprite and 2023 sub LV (Mk2) and several other Rolex and other stuff I have in my collection.
If your bezel doesn’t do this it’s not real….. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thank you all for the kind reply. I'm sorry for not being able to reply sooner, as I was out of the country for work.
I contacted the seller and discussed the situation. He claimed that he had never heard of the "red thing". He bought UV light and showed me that not all of the Pepsi he has turned red. However, he has allowed me to replace my watch with a brand-new one that turns red. I feel like a child who just wants a watch that turns red. He said he'd return the older watch to the AD and ask about the red thing. I also asked the Manila RSC about the "red thing". They said they don't have "any memo" (this is what the RSC lady said) that requires pepsi GMT to turn red under UV light. I tried to post pictures, but the forum won't allow me—something about needing to post a number of times before I can post a link or something. I only one picture of the older watch under UV light and would be happy to post it here if allowed. Again, thank you all for the reply and apologies for seeming to just disappear. |

Thanks for this—exactly what I’m worried about. I’m planning to have it “serviced” in the local RSC this week to see how if fairs. I’m really hoping it’ll all turn out well though. I’ll definitely keep you guys updated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

What’s really frustrating is that the seller is a well-known retailer here with hundreds of references and a big store in the mall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Incomplete information, you ask if its fake when you have no posted pictures of the watch or even the box. How are we suppose to help you?

Again sorry for just jumping the gun. I’m still trying to figure out how to post a few pictures of the watch here since TRF says I still haven’t reached the required number of posts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Uv lights are under $10 and they probably make about 10c. If you knew Amazons real revenue stream you would know they could care less about the small number of TRF members with BLROs.
The issue with the UV light is how Rolex makes the ceramic bicolor for the BLRO so any post ceramic should glow this way and the post stating some newer clones is also true. I’d stay far away from this dealer… |

Again, apologies for jumping the gun. I'm still trying to figure out how to post pictures of the old watch. TRF requires a number of minimum posts to post pictures.
