VSF New GMT Pepsi 126710 with Clean and GEN Comparison

[Steve McGarrett]

dumb question and no clue about pepsis - ive been looking at pictures for around 30 minutes now and I cant seem to find the difference between a pepsi with a bezel lip and without one. Is it really just that there is a gap between insert and outer bezel?

To me it looks like this has a lip for example?

The photo is not a good example, as the edge/lip is barely visible due to reflection.

The Pepsi bezel INLAY is made of a different, more fragile material due to its colors. To protect it better, Rolex has made the outer edge of the bezel wider - also known as the lip.

This does not refer to a gap between the bezel and the inlay. Google for gen Pepsi and Batman bezel and pay attention to the outer edge of the bezel - on the Batman this is hardly present, on the Pepsi the edge is about ~1 mm wide, so much bigger.

Thanks for clarifying. Then following this there would be a lip at the 8/9 marker on this model and pic correct?

I received my tracking number on Saturday and my watch was delivered today, sometimes I love FedEx. Now just a waiting game for my Oyster bracelet.

Update us on how the CF/ARF oyster bracelets fit. I'm looking to do the same on my Batgirl.

Usually no problems fitting CLEAN bracelets to VS watches

This detail only matters if you're trying to scam people

Mate, you're right! Even though I think "shit, but already having a clone on my wrist I'm trying to fool people"

I’m loving vsf the Pepsi on the jubilee. Does anyone know where I would be able to source extra links? I have a huge wrist so I wouldn’t be super surprised if I need 3. I needed 2 for the oyster bracelet.

I tried places like Amazon and uncle seiko but the sizes are slightly off. Kinda thinking of asking if I can just buy an extra bag bracelet?

Any advise is appreciated

I know some TDs would happily sell you some, otherwise you might just have to put up a WTB listing and buy it from another member here. I think jubilee links from any rep factory that makes the datejust 36, or GMT will work.

I have been buying from pure time. I will reach out to them and ask if they have extra links, or just a 2nd bracelet since I will probably need 3 or even 4 links.

If they don’t have it available I would love a tip on a different TD I could go through.

Thanks!

lol. You would think but my vsf link experience has been a journey. I purchased links for the sub oyster bracelet from eBay, Amazon, and uncle seiko and none of them fit the vsf. I was able to sand down the US version enough to make it mostly fit. The gen links are so expensive that if I need 3 of them I may as well just buy another vsf.

The vsf Milgauss on the other hand, 2 links from uncle seiko and poof… perfect size. Maybe I will have the same luck with the jubilee but buying links from vsf would be ideal, but without knowing where they are sourced, I don’t know how to search for them on Ali.

You can buy a complete jubilee bracelet from CLEAN for 100usd shipped NonTD.

For TD and non TD, it's much better to tell them you need extra links WHEN you order.... they can either request from factory or add a bracelet to your order. Generally if you're bigger than 7.5-8\in+ you will probably need some links. And in my personal experience, they will either give discount or be more willing. Sourcing single bracelets and parts are very low "value"/"profit" items for most dealers.

I have a 8' wrist so while the Jubilee on my Pepsi technically fits it's not what I would call comfortable (even with the Easylink open and moved to the outside mounting hole).

I just ordered two Jubilee links from eBay so hopefully they fit. I have no issues with Oyster bracelets fitting but this is my first rep I've ordered with a Jubilee so I know next time to asked the TD about extra links.

I ordered on jubilee and added a 95 usd clean oyster to the order, so i can switch anyway

Hi, could you share where you bought both the watch and the Clean Oyster Bracelet from. Would be happy to know, thank you.

Since you have an account since 2021 and this is your first post: No. Do research on where to buy watches. its so ridiculous....

You could try buying a Pagani design watch with a jubilee bracelet, they will be very close.

Instead of being helpful, you’re just criticising people. Not everyone has 10 hours a day to talk about watches. And research does mean asking questions, which he is doing. If you can’t be helpful, at least don’t discourage people.
