....The GMT Master II PEPSI, the more I see it, the HOTTER I reckon it looks!

Having joined this forum earlier this year after purchasing my 1st Rolex (16613) M series new in HK, I feel the need for The Pepsi. Someone warned that this forum will lighten the wallet and make us go crazy

, didn't believe it at first, but it's starting to make sense now.

Where is the best place to buy a late model and what should I be looking at paying? All inputs pros & con appreciated

Me too... If i get one, it will be pre-owned and purchased from the rolex forums, they are going for under/about 4k.

Speed · 9 August 2010, 11:49 PM

I think the pristine ones are going for more like 4.5 to 5 K...

Cosign...I have not seen them fall under 4k in a while

x2 Bill, I'm seeing mint 16710s go for 4.5 to 5k.

I would stick to buying from trusted sellers here...

Speed · 10 August 2010, 12:16 AM

Sadly the "Stick Font" variants are going for even more - with or without the newer movement. I know, I know.... very controversial. Silly little font and 3186 movement do not merit the extra $$$ according to many---but it is what is.

I have never seen a GMTII with an engraved Rehaut--but some folks contend they exist. Any TRFer have one of these????

Zed Homme · 10 August 2010, 12:56 AM

Never seen one Bill.

I got my 16710 for 3700, you guys are making me think I got a good deal. It's an older watch with lug holes but has a rsc warranty. It's in excellent condition with just one tiny nick in the bezel...

sea-dweller · 10 August 2010, 01:02 AM

I love my Pepsi GMT II, and prices are around 4.5-5K, for the nicest models. Post photos when you get yours !

sakuraba · 10 August 2010, 01:07 AM

Haven't seen an engraved rehaut either.

It's always a good idea to pick up a pepsi! But you gotta hurry. They don't make them anymore, and whatever's out there is only going up in price.

jekuo · 10 August 2010, 03:33 AM

I wear my M series Pepsi all the time, and now have 2 of them. One for me and one for my son when he gets a little older.

pradeep · 10 August 2010, 04:26 AM

I hope he likes it!

DFM1 · 10 August 2010, 07:33 AM

How could he not! Its beautiful! Now I am getting interesting in them too.

niseko · 10 August 2010, 07:49 AM

Would you take me up for adoption? We could have the paperwork done ASAP!

:r ofl:

andrew79 · 10 August 2010, 10:34 AM

One with an engraved Rehaut would simply top the purchase off (if they exist)
Will have to contact the AD in HK and find out if they do have stock or can source me one. I'll be head'in that way again in December

darthmouse · 10 August 2010, 11:20 AM

I've been drooling over this thing since I saw a security guard wearing one at a speech by the First Lady...

Ha! I better ask my wife first. Lol. Actually, the Pepsi was the only one of my watches that my son actually said he wanted. He does have good taste if I do say so myself.

andrew79 · 10 August 2010, 12:37 PM

James, your pic really make me want it.... LOL

cmedina · 10 August 2010, 12:38 PM

i've never gotten used to the pepsi...i think it's because my parents bought some very cheap replicas of the pepsi, so it's ingrained in my head that i don't like it.

bodybump · 10 August 2010, 12:45 PM

I just love them all!!!!!
