Time to sell? Rolex GMT-Master II PEPSI 2 years later...
Ойын-сауық
What’s up KZread!
As we all know time changes many things. It’s been 2 years since my first taste of unobtanium. For my 30th birthday the Rolex gods blessed me with one of the most in demand steel sports watches in their catalog. I was over the moon, happy as a clam. I finally got my Pepsi. Now two years later. Many trips taken, and many hours on the wrist, how do I feel about it today? At one point I declared this watch Rolex’s best modern steel sports watch. I raved about it in many reviews, recommended it to many others. Has anything changed? Is it time to sell?
Hope you enjoy todays video

To sell that watch would be crazy. It’s the grail of grails. An exceptional watch with everything: character, class, versatility, wearability, and it’s coveted. Keep keep keep.

Love the cap Negroni! I wear my Pepsi with everything! It takes confidence to wear the red and blue. I’ve worn it with jeans, shorts, suits, chinos, you name it. Who cares about “matching.” I was fortunate to get my BLRO in June 2018. MK1. Wearing it now actually. Never sell. Enjoyed your review!

I got the call for my Pepsi oct ‘23 and it’s on an oyster. It’s so comfortable as a man with smaller wrists. I got it by waiting my turn and buying other things too and kind of justified the game by telling myself I’d flip it at the end. But I can’t part with mine now man. I’ll sell the other watches before I sell this one.

I'm the guy who feels a little panicked about discontinuation of the Pepsi this year... So I made my first purchase from the gray market this past Friday just days before we find out if it's discontinued this year. Feels like gambling, but now I'm even more excited to see what happens tomorrow. Either way I'll be happy and probably won't sell for the time being at least.

@@Watch_ur_kicks no, the peak price on Pepsis was back in early 2022 when everything else peaked. They were in the 30s at that point. Currently you're looking at around 23k for brand new. In any case, I'm happy to have one. A few (or several) thousand dollars here or there isn't going to change that.

Not very original. But one of my fav besides “fuck em if they can’t take a joke” sadly those two are taken.
Strange how you have come up on my stream maybe it’s a sign . After around 12 years balls deep in the hobby baled out around a year ago and have had zero interest since then . Don’t think I’ve worn a watch since October . Have seven rolex in the bank that couldn’t give a shit about and will be soled on at some point. When you leave a hobby and the obsession leaves there is no interest whatsoever. When I do get round to selling it will be good to bring in some cash .. may in fact look into ditching the Pepsi …
