The best thing about the new pepsi is the solid Jubilee with adjustable clasp. Even so, I wouldn't trade my 16710 pepsi for one.
Even the GMT hand looks kinda pink. Will need to see this one in real life.
The gmt hand looks identical in color to the five digit.

It does look way more red on the promotional photo (rendering?)... at least it looks "reder" than the pink bezel in the photo above. Too bad, I was digging this model a lot.

I've seen a bunch of the old white gold model. The colors aren't great. It's not horrible and the watch is still pretty cool.

I’ve only seen a couple of the PM model, but they all seemed too pink and lavender.

The two-tone is looking better and better.

I really like the all rose gold version of the brown one. I like the TT version too, just not as much.

It could be my first fat cased Rolex. FOMO makes me want to wait for a jubilee version of the TT.

Nice! That is gorgeous. Wish Sinn would put out a 101/102 reissue.

thanks guys, I really think this is one of those brands that should get a little more love. I've been browsing their site and they make some really nice pieces

Both look nice and I'm glad to see Breitling finally started brushing their watches.
Right, they took forever to figure out to start brushing them.

That's a really nice watch. They tend to fly under the radar, and I am still really happy with my HS100.

yeah they do fly under the radar, I also just found out that they use a top grade 7750 in the watch that they adjust before they send out.

Looks like the Longines Heritage Military is finally hitting ADs. My local Longines AD pinged me the other day saying that they had one in stock and I see that the Hodinkee Shop just got them in as well. Cool watch, but I still can't get past the 'age spots' on the dial.

ok, "faux vintage" lume color is one thing, but "faux dial patina" is crap.
