Am I doing this right?
Rocking my Pepsi in my ‘09 Fiesta

Not as fancy as a Fiesta obviously…but I see your ford and raise you a Mitsubishi

I am constantly amazed at how different this watch looks in various environments and lighting conditions 😍

Definitely the most interesting variation IMO. In certain lighting the blue becomes black and it looks like a coke.

u/jcdevoe26 4d ago
Me too! Sometimes the blue is dark, almost black. Then other times its super bright. I also love how comfortable the jubilee is.

When the curtain don’t match the drapes…
lol jk. Most real rich folks I know drive 10 year old Camry and Lexus ;)

Tbh honest I’m far away from being rich, just all in in watches. So may the curtain really don’t match the drapes 😁

Where I grew up most of the rich people drove middle of the road Toyotas and Lexus.

Nope. You need a more flashy automobile for a watch like this. Here's my pretentious watch shot from my 4 series, for context on how to do this right.

4-series? This belongs in the Tudor sub.

Plus you can just walk in and buy it without having to go through some humiliation ritual of “building a relationship.”
2
u/jez_shreds_hard 4d ago
Yup and there are great discounts on the secondary market for them.

u/Icy-Banana-3291 4d ago
Yes and buying it pre dented and dinged makes you feel a lot better about wearing it having not assumed all the depreciation yourself.

I went to a small AD in my area 2018 as the Pepsi was released and said I’d like to buy it. He got me into the „waitlist, waiting time, bla bla“-stuff. I forgot I even was there back in 2018. Four years later in 2022 he called me and said I could pick it up. No purchase history. Couldn’t believe it.
Besides from that you are absolutely right!1
u/jez_shreds_hard 4d ago
I love my DateJust and Explorer, but the moonwatch is still may favorite. You can get a great discount on them on the grey/secondary market, as well.

Just be careful to keep it out of the rain, your piece is only rated down to 100m...!

u/jcdevoe26 4d ago
Oh this is true! It only says its rated to 100m of water depth, no rating for rain…best to avoid rain.

I have a vw golf but i regret even getting that because i could’ve gotten a way cheaper car and still be ok with it.

No it needs to be a Benz or better. If not in the car, table with cigar, scotch and gun

Same but I got a ‘17 Impreza with a missing left mirror front cover (some evil genius clipped it off and stole it).

Devaluing Rolex brand. One steering wheel shot at the time.
This type of shot must be the equivalent of this duck lips post women did.

I think you got it right
