Only happened when I was wearing SH movement, they never spotted a VRF so your good with this one. This keeping me from buying the arf batman :(

Are u serious? You are telling that airport custom agents may check autenticity of the watch you are wearing?????????????? i always flight all around the world with a rep at wrist and a couple of reps in the baggage, and never had any problems......some years ago (2011), i went to Thailand for holidays and met NARIKAA (she is smart and very nice, guys, let me say it ;-) in her shop in a great shopping center (it seems it was in Bangkok)....i returned to Italy with 5 reps ;-)

I'm gonna stick my neck out and say that he was NOT serious. In fact, I don't even think he was that subtle about it. (Funny as hell though)

This watch looks like my perfect X-mas gift!

On PT I see 2 versions , one with oyster and other with jubilee bracelet and with different movements. What is difference between sa3285 and sa3186? I am looking for most reliable. Thx

For me this came out of nowhere as I was considering the Noob.... now I´m very close on pulling the trigger on this VRF.... could this movement be problematic as the one in the Noob?....decisions...

All VRF GMTs come with the (RWI named) VR3185 movement, which is the best rep GMT movement available. The oyster version (116710) is engraved 3186. The jubilee version (126710) is engraved 3285. There are no other differences in the movement.

Thanks, all I needed to know to go for it. After several years waiting, finally a decent Pepsi rep on the horizon for me :)

Got some QC goodness for you guys for the watch that's on its way to me! The 18 transition looks very good to me, and the colors look great too!

Enjoy the watch in good health!! If you like it, that’s the one.

We have been critical about Noob 18 transition, well the VRF transition is wrong too. The red to blue transition should happen on the inner rim of the 8 digit, in VRF it happens too early and Noob too late :D

no cranberry in these photos :-(

Ferrari red bro. It's pretty, and too bad Rolex didn't use it. It harkens back to the Pepsi of heritage.

I'll probably get one because I like it, you can't wear any rep ceramic Pepsi's near a gen anyway. Too bad about the cyclops flaws - these pics don't show it.
