Was not a fan of the colors, at all. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...37f02d35ce.jpg

I'm not a fan of the Pepsi colors or the Jubilee bracelet.

I am due to receive either the 126710BLRO and/or the 126711CHNR by late September. So fingers crossed!

I'll let you know. I'm #2 on an AD list.

Lol most definitely need a tan. Colors are sadly not off. You'll see for yourself if you haven't had a chance yet.

I can see why, it’s pink and purple !

:thumbsup:

A question on the jubilee bracelet. How hefty does the jubilee feel as compared to the oyster bracelet?

That looks terrible and the jubilee only makes it worse. I think jubilee and I think old man watch. We all know why Rolex did this.

In my opinion the modern Rolex are the best ever made! Really a Fan of 6 digits. Very nice Pepsi!! Thanks

Funny how perception is different....next to the D-blue, I think the BLRO looks exceptional.



Yup, I thought the same!!! That’s probably the first pic I’ve seen of the 126710 where I’m seriously stoked with the colours and the overall package [emoji106][emoji106]

Idk, I really love the GMT like but something about that jubile bracelet just doesn’t tickle my pickle.

rebel_1 22 May 2018 10:51 AM

This watch seemed to have provided the WG BLRO an uptick! I’m glad I bought mine when I did! TBO, I’m looking forward to trying on the “Dummy” version next week at my AD’s Rolex rollout! I’m also partial to Rolex PM sports watches now so the SS version doesn’t really interest me. Also, if I were to get a new Rolex on a jubilee, it would be a DJII.

Qinhan 24 May 2018 12:01 AM

The jubilee is actually starting to grow on me although, like most, I would have preferred an oyster.

Here's my obligatory side by side shot at our local Basel party. I'm likely to get "the call" by the end of the year and not 100% sure yet if it's too redundant.

Boaters 24 May 2018 01:03 AM

Looks like a beauty to me but still want to try one on.

I can see that You love purple (according to Your avatar)

:chuckle:

Snow-Dweller 24 May 2018 02:19 AM

I adore GMTs. I have a WG BLRO and like the bezel. Three months ago I bought a DJ41 with Jubilee, which love.

One way or another I guess I’m going to like this watch!

Wow, next to the BLNR the colors look awful, the blue is lilac and the red is pink. Given its next to another watch its not the exposure of the pic and obvious that the colors really are off.

of the haters this is my estimation

10% wouldn't buy it even if it was the aluminum colors as they dont like GMT's
20% probably it is truly a color issue that they dont like
20% dont like jubilees and are not open to it an any situation
50% saw the waitlist and then decided since they were not getting it anyway, they now dont like it:chuckle:

My take exactly.

Bring it on - I love it.

Best of luck for them to sell selling.

Whats interesting is that it ships in 6-10 days, i think i saw.

Does that mean first shipments of pepsi will hit some ADs next week (before it goes to grey dealers)?

Great pic with all three for size comparison. I own a DDSD and it fits great on my 8.5-inch wrist and I have thought about the Sky Dweller but held off bc the size is 42mm. However, in your pic, the face looks much larger than the DSSD and I can only attribute that to optical illusion with a super-thin bezel by comparison.

In person, does it really hold its own from a dial size perspective against the DSSD? I have a PAM 422 and it has virtually no bezel and therefore make the DSSD look small. Thanks for your help!
