Quick question about the New Pepsi
I read about the 3 bezel variants (mk1, mk2, mk3) since the new model came out in 2018
The latest variant (mk3) being the darkest blue and deepest red vs the others
Question that I had was how the latest variant (mk3)
looked in the sunlight?
I was at the pool earlier this summer and saw someone with a Pepsi and the bezel looked purple and pink in the sun.
Is that an issue with all of the variants because of how the colors are applied to the ceramic bezel and how UV light hits it? Or did that issue go away in later models/variants?

Some thoughts.
These images visually confirm that Mk1 bezels are prone to looking purple or pink, especially in bright sunlight. Mk3 bezels, while far less likely to shift, are still ceramic and under certain angles or UV-rich environments may show subtle changes — thou...
I didn’t realize there was an MK3 Pepsi
Mine (which I got in 2020) I believe is an MK2. In low light the blue is very dark and I really questioned why they would ever do a “Coke” because it looked so similar to my Coke 16710. In bright like the bezel does look blue though. Here are various phot...
