What can I say? The overall quality is excellent, as with the most CF watches. Just buy it, you’ll be happy.

Definitely a damn good watch. The price is too high on the latest version in my opinion but the market doesn’t seem to agree with me. So what do I know.
I’ve held off buying the latest version because of the price. However I’m definitely thinking about pulling the trigger on a v3.

Can't agree with you. For this price you get a lot (great bezel insert & movement), build quality (except for bezel action) is also great.

You’re right, hell, I know you’re right. I even admitted that I was wrong. I guess it’s that I don’t see it as better than all the other watches by 30-40% to justify its additional price. The price of all reps are ridiculously high but the Pepsi takes the prize. It’s in the neighborhood of the Daytona and no where near as complicated a timepiece. The market even supports your opinion but to me it’s overpriced. The previous version is reasonably priced but it doesn’t have the proper bezel. I’m stuck at present but I’m sure I’ll pull the trigger on the latest and greatest Pepsi in the days to come
I already have the 126500 from clean, does anyone know if the GMT oyster is the same exact bracelet as the daytona oyster? In that case I’ll opt for jubilee and just switch with the daytona when bored.
They are not the same, ends links are different.

Clean really should shine their rehaut just a tad. Finished this today and is much better imo. Hard to capture on my phone.

This new Pepsi v3 is incredible, in your opinion is it worth making mods such as polishing the rehaut, replacing the cf crystal with a deep one with a gasket of the right height to enlarge the date to 2.5x? It seems so good to me that I have some doubts, of course the fact remains that the combination of clean glass and clean gasket enlarges the date a little more compared to the gen. What do you recommend?

Some of the jubilee bands have the old misprint of STEEL INOX. Not all but some so you might want to check yours really good if that matters to you.
I just pulled the trigger on one with Andiot. He said it’s about 10 days before his next batch arrives. I guess I don’t really care. It’s kinda like a trademark of Cleans anyway.

I mean if you are pulling the crystal, you might as well do the rehaut. I've always felt that the rehaut on the CFs have been nice but a tad too matte. I can't speak for deep crystals as I used a gen full AR on mine.

Bezel insert - UV effect and more gen like
That's about it
They apparently changed the bezel action to make it better but idk i'd take that with a grain of salt
