For an out of the box Rep really impressive, only prof crystal and you’re ready. DW and bezel looks also very good „like“ gen. Nice piece

Was hoping the QC’s were horrible to stop me from ordering one :bang: but these are looking pretty good.
The QC's are really looking nice! Any recommendations as to who can do the gen crystal install for me in the US? Tnx

Nice watch, crystal is (almost) the worst I've seen. Check out this beauty, haha
while QC seems to be going good on this....movement is right....all things considered....its a decent watch.
my hang up is that the colors of the bezel for any pepsi aren't close. anyone else having this issue?
avoiding the debate and i have purchased 2 already last one being a GMF but it broke. I just can't seem
to squeeze the trigger.

Given the fact that there are 3 versions of the gen BLRO and that all colours look different on photos, videos, the internet and even in RL depending on the lighting, I would have no problem with this Pepsi. I think it looks really nice and personally prefer it to the BLBR (as in brown LOL) of the much vaunted Noob. I prefer the smaller case and the aluminium insert of the 5 digits pepsi so I will not be buying this myself but if wanted one I would get this.
Hey guys, greetings. Long time lurker here. I'm on the verge of buying the VRF pepsi watch and it's going to be my first rep but I have a few questions.
- Is it ok to purchase directly from the website via credit card? Anyone had trouble with fraud after the purchase?
- What is the turn around time from purchase to actually receiving the item?
- How is the movement on this watch so far? I have read horror stories of a GMT movement failing a few days after purchase but not sure what factory the watch came from and what movement the watch was running.
- How likely will the parcel get seized in the home country's customs? Did anyone run into this scenario in one of their purchases?
- How do you guys get your reps maintained (i.e. routine service, lubrication, etc)? Quite a bit concerned taking it to a third party watch service center.
- Has anyone got seized at the airport by wearing a rep watch? Im worried about putting the watch inside the carry on bag, going through the scanner and get questioned thereafter on the watch's authenticity.
here is the quick lazy answer. For more info, do some searching.
1) no, credit card isn't the best option. Transferwise works well though.
2) depends on your TD, whether the model is in stock, how quickly you accept QC pics and the country you ship in. Anything from 7 to 30 days.
3) This one should be gucci
4) not likely, triangle shipping exists. Just don't worry about this.
5) get it services at a rep friendly watch smith -> no one cares and they have seen thousands of reps before
6) this doesn't exist. Myth to fearmonger (?) anyone else wanna chime in? No, no one will check whether your cyclops has a black hole effect lol.

I got nabbed. Customs agents said they spotted the speed bumbs from a mile away. By the way, if you're wearing a noob pepsi don't say 'careful, it's a timebomb' at the baggage check.Only happened when I was wearing SH movement, they never spotted a VRF so your good with this one.

Call spongebob. Or ask your lawyer for a platinum sharpie, some q-tips and 4 minutes.

I have already approved it, so I will upload a photo.
QC looks like a really well made watch, better bezel than Noob, case and movement?
