New Pepsi GMT owners perspective

1) The watch is amazing!
2) The bracelet fits the watch perfectly. Balance and the look is just right.
3) The colours are not as controversial as the pictures show it to be.It looks dark blue and a pinky red in most lighting conditions ... even it bright sun it's still blue and red. The purple comes out on the camera sensor when over exposed.
4)The case, dial, bracelet, and bracelet, all perfectly made for the watch. Balance on the wrist is just right.
5) Something robust about a Rolex movement. Moving the quick set hour hand and date feels solid as does everything other adjustment. Makes the Patek and AP feel a lot more delicate.

Over the moon to be able to get this!

Congratulations on your great looking SS Pepsi! I think this is a winning combination. Rolex movements have a great reputation of being robust and durable, probably from their tool watch heritage, something the PP & AP don't really have. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy and wear it in good health. Cheers!

A very nice watch. That said, I'm far more jealous of the jubilee than the bezel. I would put one of those on my BLNR so fast.
