Pepsi popularity to in-the-wild sightings is totally out of whack

Yeah. I wouldn't either.

Im in Dubai and can confirm this even

closest i came to in the wild - stopped by a Walnut Creek, CA AD a couple of years ago. a lucky guy was in the back section picking up his BLRO with his whole family. SA was showing him how to set it. i congratulated him as he wore it out. like a bigfoot sighting it's so rare

[train-time]

My BLRO will be two years old in April... it's still sitting in the box, so it hasn't been seen in the wild, yet!

[EEpro]

Wearing mine today. Snow blowing and YMCA duty. In the wild for sure.

[B2 Stealth]

Way to go EEpro! Wear the damned watch!

[fishingbear]

Haven’t thought about it but now that it’s mentioned; I have only seen one other 126710BLRO in the wild besides mine.

[Sglass]

Wearing mine today as well. I’ve seen a handful of other people with them. I don’t think they’re all that rare.

Subs are a common sight for me and a few datejusts. It’s not often I see anything else (I only recall seeing one BLRO). Its one of the things that put me off the Sub and appealed to me about my Explorer II - I’ve never seen anyone else wearing one!

[PureCoconut]

I have one and wear it every day. Wanna come see it? Haha.

[Land_Jet]

I have never seen a steel BLRO in the wild but I have seen a white gold meteorite GMT.

An unbelievable piece to see in person.

[Ruvv]

I have noticed this too

[Onequik135i]

I never see BLRO out in the wild. I remember running into a local Best Buy sales guy wearing a 16710Blro back in 2018 ? I complimented him on it, it was a gift or something during his early school years. Other than that just see Subs thru the years & one 116520.

[brandrea]

I recall seeing one either now that you mention it.

I can get mine to come off. I managed it yesterday after two weeks of 24/7 wearing enjoyment. But it was difficult to remove.

[Beto737]

I’ve never seen anyone else wearing one so far..

[Ibiza]

Most times I see the colour scheme, it is another watch pretending to be a GMT. Lots of homages but I've seen a few in restaurants and bars.

[chris242]

Agreed, I’ve seen more platonas in the wild than Pepsi’s

I live in Hong Kong, where I see Panda Daytona all the time, or 116520 (white and black), but I agree, I have only seen one Pepsi in the wild.

I probably see more PM Daytona than Pepsi in Hong Kong. Batman seemed to be everywhere, also the rootbeer (TT), but agree, no Pepsi.

[jetguy22]

Just one here in LA Sofar. Then again, I’m not always staring at peoples wrists.

[crownprince]

One of the reasons is that it is dangerous in some international cities. it is best to play it low until the crime rate is reduced

[John Doyle]

You should visit the middle east sometime :P

I wear long sleeves pretty much year round, so no one would ever notice the watch I’m wearing, unless I roll up my sleeves. Even in the summer, it’s long sleeve T shirts.

Scotland here too. Much the same, its long sleeves unless it's one of the days for tee shirts.

We may not have the weather, but I don't think there is any town or city or any backstreet in the whole country for that matter that I wouldn't feel safe wearing my BLRO with a tee shirt.

Scotland

[Vipes]

I’ve seen one in the wild. Guy was a pilot. It is pretty uncommon to see one in my area.

[Lesnerelli23]

I can probably count on my fingers the amount of luxury watches in general that I’ve seen in public and half of those were on one family I was seated by in 1st on a flight from detroit to Las Vegas.

Notably the eldest had a YMII, there was a BLNR and a yellow gold Daytona on oyster flex. The women all had a variety of Lady TT DJs.

I’ve never spotted any kind of Omega which surprises me as another member mentioned.

I did see a ceramic sub on an arm hanging out of the window of a 60’s Camaro at the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit. And I saw the platinum Daytona at Universal Orlando.

A few others would be Drs wearing DJ or OP and I just remembered I saw an ExpII polar (5 digit) at a HS football game.

I’m sure I’ve missed seeing a ton of cool pieces in Vegas but my wife and I stay pretty low key and don’t really hit any popular tables. We enjoy cheap auto roulette and observation lol.

I went to the Indycar race a week ago and there were Rolexes everywhere (and lots of Omegas as well) and I did not see a single ceramic pepsi.

[StairLight530!!]

I have two friends who both own modern Pepsis on jubilee. They both have told me out of all the rolex they own, the pepsi gets the most attention. People will comment on it or approach them about buying it off their wrists. They both don’t wear it much for that reason

Sprites and Pepsis are still difficult to obtain from the AD.
