Drool-Worthy Wrist Shots Of SD And Pepsi GMT

After one whole day of waiting, finally some shots that cast these glorious new pieces in the proper light (pun intended):

Nice. Thanks for the pass on. That Pepsi is jaw dropping. I imagine as will be the price.

I think I saw in the article that the price is 36,400 Swiss francs.

Not sure what $36K swiss francs equals to in US dollars but is sounds expensive!

That SD is delicious. I'm in love.

The BLRO... I want to love it... But the red just doesn't look quite right. Maybe it's the lighting.

The 16710 is still perfect IMHO.

That Pepsi is awesome. I can't believe that it is coincidence that the bezel insert looks like the original bakelite bezel insert in color. If it is intentional it is brilliant on their part. It makes me want one all the more...

Not coincidence. I was just checking it out on the Rolex website. They mention the bakelite comparison in the description. Genius on their part...

Not really excited about the Pepsi GMT. For $43k you'd think they'd spice up the dial a bit and write GMT Master ll in red like the anniversary LN. Or blue date wheel, something...
It's ok and just like the BLNR will look great in different lighting but The LN still holds a minuscule more unique position.

The SD4c on the other hand is absolutely a home run. The matte dial looks just fabulous, I'm in love sure.

Thx for the post.

Lets' get a white face with this blue and red bezel. We'll call it "The Ugly American."
