Wow, that’s one watch that does not get enough credit. Very nice brother! Love the old school, vintage 6542 coin edge bezel, pretty dial, and unique snowflake hands. Tempting...did RSC ever tell you what was the issue?

No they didn’t tell me but I’ve heard different reasons but newer 2019 onwards watches don’t seem to have the issue so I guess Tudor sorted it. Some Rolex GMT’s have also suffered that problem in the past!

the ultimate rep Pepsi would be...

VRF base (with new movement), GMF dial (because its the only one available, mine had terrible lume applied), rep hands, Noob pepsi insert (best available right now), and gen crystal..It would be the white gold version. If you have to source the jubilee bracelet then it puts you in the noob pricing.

Or wait until VRF or ARF comes out with Pepsi--took ARF over 2 years to even come out with a GMT..and VRF (batman has a terrible insert).

Or Noob watch, gen crystal..GMF dial, and look to drop in the new VRF movement.

Options are very open and new at this point..
So far, I don't spend any time modding so looking for solid out-of-the-box. I'm not even that picky with flaws, probably fine with ICHS even, but on a Pepsi, nailing the bezel insert colors and transition is pretty important to me. Noob is looking best, just wish its red and blue were lighter.

Before I spend the big rep money on the Noob, any thoughts on the BP, especially its insert? For the price, considering that till our dream ultimate rep Pepsi shows up.

Beauty! I got mind today as well, just curious does your bezel aligns to 12 o'clock, mine does not everytime I align it, it felt like there was a spring pulling it back.

it's like a smidge on the right..i can fix it..i just don't have the time yet...easy fix..
