I have arrived!! GMT II Pepsi

I am now the proud owner of a A series (2000) GMT II Pepsi!! It arrived today from Dallas and from our illustrious forum member Springer!

This is the full meal deal complete with all booklets and even the original plastic protectors. Nice to have a complete package just like it came from Rolex!!

She's a beaut! More formal photos will be forthcoming. (ie. some without the dust and fingerprints)!

And as I was trying to have some foresight, Mr. Steve Mullholland provided this Coke bezel to me at his cost! As soon as I get tired of the Pepsi look, there is a Coke in the waiting. Thanks Steve!!

I would highly recommend picking up a black insert as well (especially if you don't have a SS Sub or SD). Mine came as a Pepsi & I loved it thinking that would be my favorite insert. Then switched to Coke & loved it even more. I thought Black would be my least favorite but after making the switch I find that Black is my top choice, followed by Coke & then Pepsi. Love all three & it's great to have the options, just need that Jubilee now.
Congrats on the superb acquisition.

Very nice Rich!!!!

I was all set to suggest, "all you need now is the Jubilee" when I followed your last photo link. You beat me to the punch. The jubilee is a no brainer, you will love it. Enjoy your new GMT....I think it is one of Rolex's best ever designs.

Looking good Richard. I was wondering why I was posting in your other post regarding bezel removal. Congrats!
