I noticed it but only after someone pointed out the Pepsi.

So I didn’t notice the Pepsi either from the start

For sure! Bonus because everything is sized correctly when we swap watches.

That Cellini certainly looks nice, but the Sub, though... that's one of the greatest of all time.

The SD43 is great, but my wrist is always ready for a break after wearing it

Couldn't agree more. The sub is perfection. The SD 43 is gorgeous but wore me down.

Does your brother like the cillini?

He's not a huge fan of dress watches in general. He likes it, but not like I do. He wants to swap his Sub for my Pepsi next time we see each other. Not sure I can part with the Pepsi just yet. I've only had it for a year now.

I like the fact that a dress watch is a total change of pace from sports watches.

I'd like to go used on the Cellini but they are far and few between.
This post has made me want a Cellini. That said, I prefer the current hour markers, rather than the Roman numerals.

Sub looks amazing, but since you seem to have a larger wrist, and a 40mm gmt, how about the SD43?

I agree completely. The one I tried on (in the picture) was the one with Romans and it was stunning. But in pictures I prefer the clean dial layout of the non-Roman version. The mk2 (non-Romans) will probably age better.

A rose cold Cellini will almost certainly be my next pick up.
