The beauty of the Pepsi bezel

I've been wearing it for 3 weeks now and I can honestly say it will become my main watch in the rotation. Let's briefly recap what I've experienced so far; The bad: 1. The strap is definitely not Rolex quality and a bit lighter. It feels secure and very comfortable but doesn't exude quality.2. The bezel had a slight offset and did not fully align with the 12 o'clock mark. Very low.3. Luma is not there. The clock also uses two grades of phosphorus. The hands and 12 o'clock marker on the bezel glow fairly quickly and brightly, but the hour markers are much dimmer. Pros: 1. The watch looks much more expensive than it is. Many many more. Shipping to my home from the US cost me a little less than half what it cost in South Africa and even at that price it would have been a good buy.2. The dial is luxuriously blue, especially outdoors in the sun. It's absolutely gorgeous. The photos don't really do it justice.3. The timing is excellent. I use the WatchCheck app to see the time on my watch. I am currently testing the position of the clock for nighttime rest. This slightly decreases overall accuracy, and even with that I'm better than +2 seconds per day at the moment. It is excellent accuracy.4. Size 40mm is perfect for my hand. It's such a civilized entity in our age of worm puck hockey pucks. Do I regret the purchase? Not even close.
