Great video as always Sir! I loved the wrist shots, they really showed off how the colors of the bezel change depending on the lighting! I am supposed to get my Pepsi later this year or early next year, and I have opted for the jubilee bracelet version, mainly because it was the countless pics of the Pepsi that made me admire the Jubilee bracelet to the point that I traded my Oyster bracelet white dial DJ41 for a Jubilee version in blue (sprung for the fluted bezel as well this time). My Rootbeer and Bluesy also already have the Oyster bracelet, so it will be nice to have 2 of each type.
