Crystal and cyclops is sick! Best i've seen on a rep. Insane blackhole effect and clear just like the gen!

Bezel movement feel is just like arf, feels smooth Love the dial and markers
Insert is very nice imo

Movement is feeling good, little dry. Everything working perfect
All dates are dead center
Good bracelet with smooth screws ease to do.
Clasp is a little tight but with get better while using.

Solid watch from vrf and a lovely price! If u love pepsi buy this gents!

Looks like a very good quality watch bro, congrats. They did a much better job with the insert color transitions than on the Batman. I like the blue color, the red is a little bright to ever get it near a gen but it's pretty!

Update: watch is on the way to me, should recieve tomorrow. :) not sure what I am getting if they did something to it.. Advice?


lol. Again, here in the USA things are different and I’ve heard stories of people in the USA just getting their watch. Sometimes with taxes, sometimes without. But I agree with kj2020.

in the USA it depends on a lot of things including the agent who seized it. Also, in the USA it is not illegal to own counterfeit items, only sellIng them is illegal.

but if they think it is gen, they may ask you to pay taxes on it so telll them it’s yours (maybe?- but I don’t want to take responsibility if you get arrested).

however, I will say that in these crazy times customs departments for a lot of countries are over worked and understaffed. Not only that but many countries are now in search of things they didn’t care about 2 months ago. Like they may be searching for equipment related to COVID only.

I’ve had many packages intercepted by customs and only got 2 package passed to me after it passed customs and that was 1.) a Panerai and 2) some Gucci items (and they excellent quality.) because Both are such good quality, I don’t think they were capable of identifying those items as a replica. However, during COVID times, I’ve had several packages opened by Chinese customs and us customs and passed on. Word is they were looking for ppe or medical supplies/equipment.

am confused, we went into lengths onto the different Pepsi releases ( original ones) and how the V1 and V2 actually were close to what I though is this exact color. Now I am reading it's not ? The Noob is closest to V3, the one most in circulation. Did I get this wrong?

it’s none of them actually. while the blue is close to mk1, the red actually is way too bright and also doesn’t match with mk2 or mk3

reminds me more on older pepsi aloy bezels ..

Looks very nice but the red is very orangey to me. Still I like it better than some of the diarrhea-brown we have seen on some of the Noobs.
And a better movement and a better price! There is a lot to say for this rep.

Here is one on youtube which seems pretty bright but still yours is brighter and more orangey. The red in the gen does change a lot in hue depending on how the light hits it.
I have to say the blue on the rep is also off, the gen is much more purple-ish to my eyes.
But the transitions are good and I don't see a speed bump

There is just no good rep ceramic pepsi bezel yet, at least none that is close to gen. The noob is nice looking but missed the shade of blue in the red and vice versa (hence the brown look that some mentioned)

Dude, it’s the white balance of the shot. Do you think his hand is that colour? He’d be dead.
