You have to try harder

Well I'm SICK... I owned a 1675 for 25 years and had to sell it Christmas a year ago.

Why because I bought it when I learned to fly. No longer flying, but I still want a Pepsi!

mrhy · 20 April 2013, 10:05 AM

I just had the black bezel changed to the pepsi about a week ago.

Flyjet601 · 20 April 2013, 10:32 AM

Here's my circa '84 16750.
Had this one a long time.....

Always loved the Pepsi. Sets it apart from all the other sports watches in the Rolex line up.

Nnatan · 20 April 2013, 11:45 PM

My Peps

T5AUS · 22 April 2013, 04:58 PM

I brought this GMT off Andrew Shear back in 2007 and wore it almost daily for the first few years but sorry to say I have gone off her lately so she rarely gets a look in these days, afraid the sub and the transitional speedie get all my attention at the moment

tum177@305 · 22 April 2013, 05:09 PM

Had mine 4 years
Most everydays

The Fretking · 23 April 2013, 12:33 PM

This is my dads 1966 1.49XXX purchased at the Lajes AFB Officers Club. He wore it everyday, for every task. I follow his example and rarely take it off.

Armyguy03 · 23 April 2013, 12:46 PM

I got mine a few moths ago and it's seen ZERO wrist time. I have a "gala" event next month in NYC and I'll wear it there.

Kobin · 23 April 2013, 05:16 PM

Some beauties here, thanks for sharing!

I am starting to seriously appreciate Pepsi GMTs, preferring vintage though. Initially I found them too colourful if you like but I might be wrong there.

Has anybody here ever regretted buying one?

strafer_kid · 23 April 2013, 11:09 PM

Some real beauties here guys!

kelly56 · 24 April 2013, 01:24 AM

I've owned my 1675 since 2009. I wear it a week or so out of the month. To me the Pepsi is the iconic Rolex.

tightlinez · 15 May 2013, 09:45 AM

My 16710 just back from service..

therolexguy · 15 May 2013, 10:37 AM

-How long have you owned it...?

LESS THAN 48 HOURS! LOL

-How much time does it get in your rotation...?

It just slept with me last night.

-Why you own a Pepsi, not a coke or black bezel insert...?

Because it's a more interesting colour. All other rolexes have black on it's bezels. Blue and red is a non-existant colour in any other models.

greekbum · 15 May 2013, 12:29 PM

Some Radium Pepsi

tfduff723 · 15 May 2013, 12:33 PM

Here is my 16710. It is a P serial that I have owned for 6+ years. I have all three inserts as well. Additional (crappy) pic of the same watch shown with a coke bezel & super jubilee.

The classic GMT Master is just a great watch for sure

Speed Metal Army · 16 May 2013, 12:52 PM

Here's mine.1968

RLX-lvr · 16 May 2013, 01:02 PM

What a collection SPRINGER!

mrhy · 27 May 2013, 03:18 AM

I have it about 3 months
I bought it with a black bezel ,But checked with the RSC here in new york,to make sure they would change it to the pepsi.
I wear it about 5 days a month.............By the way my eye doctor has one he bought in 1973 in geneva for $175....next appt. will take photo

Boopie · 28 May 2013, 02:24 PM

Those are great! Our neighbor, a watch collector, came over to our Memorial Day BBQ today sporting a 1970s Pepsi dial that he recently purchased. It has the "open" six on the date wheel. It is a great looking watch.

wangany17 · 29 May 2013, 07:50 AM

Mine is on the left with a new friend's Pepsi on the right. So awesome and fun to meet folks from TRF and VRF in real life.

Broncoma · 29 May 2013, 08:15 AM

These are all great watches.
The Pepsi Rolex will be my next purchase.

Redz13 · 30 May 2013, 02:54 AM

Hi. Im new with the pepsi.

Just got a Z series model which was told a 2007 model. Still need guidance on the whole pepsi.
Bought it second with minor scratches that really show on the bracelet. Any idea on my next steps? Besides of course enjoying this watch.

Should I be bringing this to an AD? But the watch boutique told me not to get it serviced and Im not sure why. Thanks! Mine came without the box but with a certificate.

pacifichrono · 30 May 2013, 03:30 AM

My 1675 from 1968...

GMTMTIF · 30 May 2013, 10:34 AM

A 1969 build. Had mine since 1972. Its a classic Tiffany. It had a great reputation for reliability and as best mechanical watch in country. Got it to reward myself after my service in Vietnam. I wear it every day.

What a beauty!! I am so glad you shared with us.

Vincent65 · 30 May 2013, 06:59 PM

Here's another pic of mine on a new strap - 'Jürgens' handmade in Germany from German WWII grey leather flying jackets. Leather NATOs. I got two, so one for the 1680 RED SUB, too. I'm not usually too keen on leather straps for sports Rolex, but I love these straps - vintage leather, with some significant history/lineage, and the solid brushed ss hardware is superb, I think.
