Told my AD I didn’t want Pepsi but yet I was allocated
So 9 months ago after purchasing a Ym and TT sub, I told my AD that I wanted a Pepsi. That was in Sept 2019.

Fast forward to Jun 2020, I told her that I didn’t want a Pepsi anymore, but put me in for a Hulk instead.

2 days ago, she said I was allocated a Pepsi and boy, I am always a fan of oyster over jubilee but when I tried on this watch. It blew my mind and the jubilee on the Pepsi is one helluva watch.

Pepsi is way nicer. Nice choice! The hulk is interesting, but the bright green that reflects in the light is too much. When it’s overcast and that deep forest green color shows up, it’s amazing.

Hahaha yeah. Agree with the jubilee comment too, it's so comfortable. I've always preferred the BLRO on the jubilee to the oyster bracelet but doesn't appear to be popular opinion.

I agree. I thought the same Thing When I put on the BLNR jubilee. It’s amazing!

Congratulations. I have to agree with you about the Jubilee bracelet being first class. I have always preferred the Oyster Bracelet until I got a modern Jubilee. Now I really like the jubilee.

Interesting. Seems like a tactic to sell a watch that you were waiting so long for and then decided you didn't want it, but then all of a sudden they have it waiting for you. Meanwhile many other people I'm sure are waiting for it. Am I wrong?

For the record, I think you made the right choice to keep the Pepsi over the Hulk. I would.

What size is your wrist. Could be the angle, but it looks ginormous on your wrist. Great looking watch though.

Congrats on the BLRO! I agree with you entirely on your thoughts of the jubilee, I had the same reaction.
