    Coke to Pepsi

    I’m sitting on a bench in St James’s Park admiring my new insert after a swap by the lovely people at Rolex. #Happy Boy!

    Wondering why people with no interest in watches are on a watch forum?

    I was there at 11:30 and collected the watch at 12.
    If you were sitting next to me you had a lovely dress on
    Would have been nice to have met you!

    They blew away the dust and charged him a storage fee...

    I thought they were closed to personal visitors at the moment, I guess the building refurb is complete.

    I was told they close on the 5th for around 9 months. The office will still be open but personal callers won't be able to go in.

    Hopefully it's just the angle, but the insert looks misaligned.

    It’s just the angle as it lines up perfectly.
    I was almost thrown off the Coca Cola London eye while wearing it though.

    My 16710 Coke GMT has also just gone into Goldsmiths for a Pepsi bezel change, pick it up when I return in two weeks but looking at these I can’t wait, simply the best looking Rolex bar none in my eyes...

    Back in May I did a similar thing and had St James change the black bezel insert on my 16700 to a Pepsi. I can’t believe I didn’t do it sooner.

    It was £55 retaining the original insert.
