what is going on here ???

Never really cared for the pepsi before. Have been saving for the new explorer and am almost there. All of the sudden i love the pepsi. Saw 2 people wearing one the last couple of weeks. Now im looking all over just to admire pics of it. What the hell is going on?

Ha! I've been looking at Pepsis today too. Spent a couple of hours browsing online for 1980s Pepsis....

I can never decide on what I want next. I just figured that I would buy what I thought was best at the time.

The Pepsi is the one watch that made me fall in love with watches in the first place. I can't believe I've never owned one. I may need to remedy that.

I'll tell ya what's going on, you've equated the lofty priced blro with the classic. Now all of a sudden, there will presumably be no SS pepC. That second hand Pepsi is starting to look like a bargain, and a safe one at that....

Yes, there is something about the pepsi bezel inserts that simply draws you in...

GMT Pepsi-- outer space flights and speed flights, worn by both Culp and Cosby on I Spy, by Yeager and by Selleck on Magnum and several movies. It's hard not to love the history of that GMT combination!

i must admit. I'm yet to come around to it it. Perhaps I like the one half black as I have the BLNR however could easily have a coke version to but the pepsi both in watches and drinks I have the same feeling. If its all thats there, ill take it however I would prefer something else

Just love the PEPSI --- It was the watch that defined ROLEX for me when I was a kid.

I think you're suffering from a rare offshoot of the original Stockholm syndrome - sort of a mutation, if you will.

Rolex marketing at work!

Could be worse...it could have been cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger,

I am thinking of buying one and need some help!

Should i be concerned about watch not having the original papers? It has box and 12 month warranty from a reputable shop.

Attached are some pics, anyone have an opinion on what its worth? Its a 2005.

I'm in the same boat. My gf hates the bi-colored bezels.

I do keep debating between that and the black ceramic; not sure which I want.

I'm not worried of a crazy spike in prices; the Pepsi has always been popular so there are tons of them out there.
