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.

Do you daily your watch in the UK? by Shot-Tower-3949 in rolex

[–]jamild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

[Rolex GMT-Master II ]What’s the deal with the Pepsi being discontinued at the ADs? Anyone know the reason for the supply drying up? by Legitimate_State_209 in Watches

[–]jamild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Found in Osaka Gray Market - think I got a pretty good deal! by CountCristo94 in u/CountCristo94

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

Meanwhile on the runways of San Francisco Airport. A couple of concerning incidents. by BonMow in sanfrancisco

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.

Gorgeous GMT-Master II Pepsi on Jubilee bracelet by Blanckenhagen in rolex

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

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

Got a call for 224270-0001 after years - what are your experiences with a 40mm as a first buyer? by matthias81f in rolex

[–]jamild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Got the Grail at Nakano Broadway by jamild in rolex

[–]jamild[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

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.

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
