8800 CHF puts the Pepsi at about the same retail price as Hulk, meaning we can expect same premium prices at about RM45-48k ... maybe ?

Considering previous Pepsi references depending on vintage, are hovering averagely in the mid-30k, I guess this is a good sign for collectors.

Well it's sort of a heritage piece. Look at those Rolex GMTs from the 50s and 60s and you'll see where they were heading with the design cues. Sans crown guard, etc.

Ya I think so too, maybe to also give further extend the Tudor stable.  If they had launched this design under the Rolex badge, God knows how that would affect prices of the original GMT ref. 6542 which has now become super rare & expensive.

Not just Rolex, Tudor also released a Black Bay GMT!!! And Pepsi for the matter!!!



Hmmm..... Looking at the Tudor GMT carefully I'd say Tudor would have got me at Hello if they had implemented the Gilt dial instead of the white markers. Liking it a little less now.

Yup, the cake is out of the bag now with the S/S Pepsi GMT, and other pieces. And the original WG Pepsi GMT has gotten a new blue dial and WG GMT hand. And those slimmed down lugs on the DSSD made the piece more wearable and less on steroids now. Me likey!















Gmt tt is so good looking

A bit underwhelmed by this Baselworld!

I expected something on the Explorer series. Even the Subs keep their old 3135 movement.

I quite like the Tudor Pepsi.  And a lot of the other releases.

Notables to me, other than the Pepsi/Diet Pepsi:

- the blue GO, as well as their skeleton perpetual
- the Omega 70th anniversary collection
- the steel Bulgari Octo

One of the best Baselworlds in recent times, IMO.

Meanwhile Omega released some yawn worthy stuff which erm... made me yawn. I love Omega too, that's why i'm feeling a little disappointed.
You're kidding right? The new SM300m alone is worth it imo. It's just an improvement in every way! Master Coaxial movement, display case back, luminated bezel, ceramic wave dial (FUCKING FINALLY ITS BACK) and a redesigned helium valve (pointless but cool).

Can't wait to see it in the flesh this coming July.

Well one man's yawn is another man's lawn I suppose. The 300 didn't work for me when Pierce Brosnan wore it and doesn't work for me now. I do love the 2500 Planet Ocean though. I would be ecstatic if Omega could somehow make their coaxial movements slimmer but hey, what do I know. Glad it floats your submersible. To each his own and a toast to diversity! Cheers buddy!

Rolex should have a sky dweller in 39 or 40mm.  It's current size in my opinion is too large unless you have large wrists.
