Looks great, you must be one of the first in the UK? I think the GMT looks lovely on that bracelet.

When my black GMT arrives I might see if a jubilee could be purchased with it.

It's beautiful, but I think they've designed bracelet interchageability out! Which is pretty poor show!

Thankyou! The good news is that I hear of some aftermarket bracelet makers who are seeing a gap in the market...

Beautiful watch OP, very jealous! Can’t see myself ever getting one though despite being on the “waiting list”

That’s doable with a DJ41 jubilee bracelet...

That looks nice, will a Rolex dealer sell you just the bracelet?

Ive always thought the Pepsi would look even better with a blue dial. Ive just bought myself a Seiko PADI Turtle and the blue face really pops in the sun. The Pepsi would really look amazing with a similar dial.

The white gold model has a blue face now.

Side by side is an interesting one! Hope you enjoy it op, not my cup of tea.

[Eddh]

Got to say... side by side... I prefer the old one!

[AJB88]

Very nice. Prefer the jubilee bracelet.

One of them is running fast, or slow, or just wrong.

Great to see one in the wild. As someone else said, probably one of the very first in the UK.

What do you think of it, particularly when compared to the original?

Can’t get out of my mind an original mini sat next to one of the newer ones.

So were stickers taken off for you and warranty card retained by the dealer? Did you buy it from a UK dealer and was it a chain or independent?

Not prying, just interested. Thanks.

Only by a day or so...

To be honest I prefer the older one, but well done anyway - hope you enjoy it!

I just can't get my head around the jubilee bracelet compared to the oyster.. sorry.. not for me. Looks cheap on that bracelet.

Looks mint! Would also be nice on the (stainless) sub bracelet, or the explorer II bracelet as those are both fully brushed

My friend has the Batman and the centre links scratch pretty easily

Are the new ones all white gold now

The first ceramic GMT Pepsi was/is white gold. This came out 2 years ago. The new model being discussed on the thread is steel.
