Why Thank you. I totally will.



This just landed. Took it to my AD to verify that it was 100% Authentic.
I held my breath until they finally nodded "yes".
Now I just cant wait for my Pepsi Insert To arrive :)



Thanks for all the advise and info when I was researching this beauty.
It really came in handy.

My AD offered to buy it on the spot, stating tha he had a customer already
lined up for it. I passed and said I was gonna a wait quite a long while before flipping.

Thanks again :)

Congrats, the GMT is probably my favorite Rolex of all time. Wear it in good health, and can't wait to see some Pepsi pics.

No problem. After the watch, shipping, paypal fees, having it Authenticated by an AD, Adding another link (I have thick wrists), replacing the Clicking thing that makes the bezel click (that was the only thing that needed repair) and ordering a Pepsi Insert (so I can have the coke and pepsi, Im in it right at $4,500. But of course its worth a Million Smiles that I have already given it today

I find it odd, people give replicas so much credit. If you couldn't tell why all the relief for the authentication?

Agreed, I looked at it through and through (doing everything but opening the case) and it looked good, but you never know. All sorts of nightmares could be the case. Like a Frankenwatch (outer Rolex and inner crapternals). It was only $80 and well worth the good nights sleep.

PS.
A buddy of mine has a Fake Pepsi (Ive never mentioned it to him before that I could tell). How can I tell, you ask? I have never seen a pepsi rolex with a Maxi Dial and Super Case before
