NOOB Pepsi GMT 126710 BLRO mini review

can‘t upload pics atm, but it is the same from more distance

I wouldn't accept. What surprises me is how can they have such big variation in the 18 transition. The same factory and the same assembly line is supposed to machine produce these and hence all of them should have same cookie cutter look (maybe I am assuming how it should rather be )

I would reject til you get one closer to the already off "normal". Hopefully that's a one-off and not a new batch.

30 - 40% into the 8 is "normal" and can be tolerated, only because that's as good as it gets. I don't hate mine, but I would hate that one.

With correct red and perfet transition it would be a fantastic rep

I would accept yours, that is ok.
I ordered 2, the second one had a poor rehaut engraving, cyclop was totally misaligned, bezel inlay was ok, like yours. So 2 are rejected.
The first one with the wrong transition had a perfect rehaut alignment. I could have build with 2 watches 1 good one. Let us see how the next 2 will look, will update here.

Maybe is not worth to buy it but, speaking about bezels, i think it could be a nice improvement:

But that is not ceramic. that is not for the newer GMT 2 models, sadly.

I think a genuine ceramic BLRO bezel will set you back a whole lot more

You can find aluminum inserts that will fit perfectly in a 6 digit ceramic bezel well. You need a high tolerance for deviation from gen though.

Highly unlikely a gen Pepsi ceramic insert will ever be available for sale for more than a very short period of time and it would sell for $3K, possibly more.

And lets not forget, it need a better movement (not the timebomb crap)

So i have just received my QC photos from Trustytime... is it is me or is there an issue at 6? It doesn't seem right. Would appreciate some feedback. Thanks

6 on the insert or 6 on the dial? There's a little reflection near the insert 6 in your third pic, not an issue IMO.

The only thing I see is a little higher than "normal" transition at 18, though not quite as bad as guru's posted above. Your rehaut crown is one of the best I've seen, typically they are off to the right. This is looking more like a new batch of inserts.

It was 6 on the dial, I also think it is a reflection. I agree with the 18 being higher.
I've asked Andrew to check the watch again.
Thanks for your advice.

Noob is a winner in my book. Case looks decent, SELs on bracelet looks gen,, insert is best I’ve seen so far, price though..shocking

Negatively shocking.

Update on QC pictures
I rejected 2 Pepsi last week, got new QC today
First one has the same issue with the transition line at 18

Second one is much better

Rejected the first one again. Told Lana what the problem was a week ago, now they brought another with a not acceptable transition line. Do not understand what is going on. Looks like another week for the next QC. Looks like there is no communication between the team.

2nd one is about the best transition point I've seen. They just get another one from the factory and show you what they got.

Crooked 12 on that second one , But have seen gens with it worse ! You want the GMF dial in anyway makes a bigger difference than the tiny bit of red in the 8
