CF Pepsi picture leaks BLRO

[spotcom]

he’s just not replying to me I guess, lol.

It was a Chinese Holiday yesterday. He replied to me this morning. Pre-ordered the Pepsi on Jubilee for $20. Will pay after I get QC pics.

An interesting payment option. I doubt many dealers would do that but Li knows it will sell in seconds if you don’t come though.

Not sure about the insert, it’s too much like Noob and not enough like VRF lol!

People that are saying the insert is a step up from Noob are lying to themselves... that shit is bad

I'll still get one if it's confirmed the VRF insert is compatible

It’s better finished than Noob overall in the numbers etc but just cannot get past the red. Would love to see some true daylight shots of this watch. I’m gonna ask Li if he can take any.

I think Rolex, again, changed the colors of the BLRO again this year.

The other day, someone was posting pics of a new ad incoming and it was a Pepsi. The OP posted a ton of pics where it almost looks like a coke bezel because it’s so dark.

So there is a wide variety of color out there on the blno 126710 that will prevent anyone from looking at a rep and dismissing it based on insert color within reason.


Imagine how crazy all those hulk builds would have been if the 116610LV had as much variation as the BLNO?

Anyway, the colors don’t look that bad to me. I certainly don’t think anyone could look at the insert and call it out based on the insert color alone.

Then why not just go for the VRF?

Someone on the reddit thread is a Chinese local who had one and was not a fan of it

VRF is mk1pepsi clean is mk2 pepsi clean red looks so orange in sunny day，the blue not Purple I am a Chinese fake watch collector，I returned cleanF yesterday.

I said i just don't like the color ,I prefer the colors of VR VR is Pink and purple clean and noob factory is Blue and orange

gen mk2 red is not orange????and I do not know why cleanfactory red Looks dirty.it is Hard to say，but If you own a cleanF pepsi, you know what I mean.

The CF has way nicer fit and finish than VRF in my opinion. It feels higher quality judging from previous CF I tried. Everything is superior aside from the insert. Finish, crystal, feel etc. And also I prefer oyster over jubilee. The VRF on oyster has horrid SELs

vrf VS clean bezel VS noob

I just ate the dials blurred out?

Several TDs were advertising that the VRF/ROF insert was from CF. but those are clearly different.

ROF

I can’t help but think so much of the issues with the red is simply the way smartphone cameras process and manipulate reds.

But red aside, this looks to be the first Pepsi insert I’ve seen with vary passable transitions and that for me is enough to grab one.

There are a few gen vs CF pics here of them side by side, if that was the case the red on the gen would look bad too.

Agreed. I can appreciate everyone's attention to detail and comments. Makes it helpful when deciding what the buy. With that, Clean Factory's Pepsi GMT looks great. Half the comment say "This looks great", the other half say "I'll wait for V2". LOL

Colors look REALLY close to me, too. So far, it's the best one that's currently available or will be available...

That’s kind of my point, I’m yet to see seperate images (Gen or rep) that look exactly the same every time. Side by side is ok, but there will still be variation. A few Centimetres closer or further from the light source and even changes in angle to the light source makes differences. That’s why you see different shades on the same bezel, let alone a seperate bezel next to it.

Except I never seen one Gen that looked like murky brown in any lighting and I haven't seen one shot of the CF that looked good in any lighting. If it walks and talks like a duck...

Just pre-ordered a batman. Thanks for all the great info and contributions in this thread.

Any news on a CF LN? Just asked my TD, I would love to pre-order one of those too if it will also be available in the near term...

All these Pepsi insert arguements reminds me of the ZZF Hulk when it was first launched........then the VSF emerged......
Well ofc at last all the Hulks shared using the same CF inserts.

You must be such a fan of ducks.
