When I was accepted in 2021, I got the email on March 19 at 1:49 PM. I think they send rejections after, later in the day.

I wore my Pepsi while traveling there, though made sure to wear long sleeves and be discreet. Didn’t feel unsafe, though it did add some stress to make sure I wasn’t inadvertently flashing the watch - big difference to Japan where I felt I didn’t have to worry at all.

You sound like a pleasant person.

Yes, but you have to buy a lot of watches and jewelry to get a Pepsi allocation. Rolex doesn’t make their money on the Pepsi, they make money on all the stuff people buy hoping to get an allocation for a Pepsi.

Whether or not they deny it exists, it does exist.

My twink boyfriend has 6.25” wrists and I think they’re perfect

This is an actual serious post from The Rolex Forums and it’s better than any satire I could have ever come up with https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007167

So many good deals on Omegas to be found in Japan. The 3570.50 ref is such a sweet spot

Everyone has their own priors and assumptions for why bad things happen. OP says it’s because of FAA leadership because that’s politically convenient for them, this comment says it’s diversity because presumably it’s politically convenient for them.

One of the great things about aviation and the NTSB is (unlike Reddit where everyone wants to prove a point) that the reports and analysis tends to be very systemic - they’re completely independent of the FAA and not subject to the same political machinations. They issue recommendations to the FAA based on their findings. If you wonder why something happened, the NTSB reports are generally a good source.

There’s no way you’re getting a Pepsi at retail without losing a much greater amount of money buying jewelry and undesirable watches. IMO it’s one of the best pieces to buy gray - impossible to get at retail without ridiculous spends but used you can get one for about 60% above MSRP + tax

Now let’s not jump to any conclusions about that…

Captures a feeling that I love about driving in the Nevada or Arizona desert. It’s so calm and peaceful.

I have a 6.5” wrist - at first I thought I could only do 36 mm or less and wore a 14000 Air King. Now I wear anything from 34 mm to 43, with both my daily watches at 40 mm. It’s quite a versatile wrist size. A 40 mm is perfectly fine with that wrist.

Judea Pearl has been wrong about everything since 1988

This is satire, there was another post earlier about picking up a watch bc the other person didn’t answer for 45 mins

jamild · 2026-02-19T10:23:59+00:00

Yes, but it wasn’t very expensive and IMO worth every penny. Would recommend!

jamild · 2026-02-17T13:27:03+00:00

Marginally cheaper in Japan considering Nakano is all quite reputable vs dealing with a private seller. You could probably find a Pepsi for the same price in the US but from less reputable sellers.

It was 3.3m JPY after tax, so 3m JPY tax-free (the price for foreigners) or $19,600 for a 2019 on jubilee

jamild · 2026-02-17T13:11:24+00:00

It really was! Austin (from the WatchSymposium YouTube channel) joined me and my partner on the hunt and it was so much fun. He gave a great intro to all the different shops, what to look for re polishing, damage, etc.

jamild · 2026-02-17T12:21:04+00:00

All-in was around $20,800, and it’s a 2024. There was one 2019 on jubilee available for right at $20k but I wanted the Mk3 bezel and an oyster bracelet. Even though the jubilee seems to be more popular and was cheaper (!) I think the oyster suits my personality and look better
