2018 GMT Master II 126710 BLRO on wrist
 
My local AD had a demo unit (no movement) of the new Pepsi GMT Master II in the store and it really is stunning in person. I'm a big fan!

Colours don't appear too bad, in this shot.

Nice, for a constipated Rolex. :chuckle:

Every direction that Rolex is pursuing is deeply diminishing my opinion of the brand.

Very nice!

Funny how perception is different....next to the D-blue, I think the BLRO looks exceptional.

The Sky Dweller and DSSD dwarf the BLRO. In some pics the red on the BLRO looks maroon.

This. The d blue and sky dweller look oversized. The gmt looks exceptional next to them.

I am excited and can’t wait for my call fro AD for BLNRO. Stunning

My AD on 5th avenue also had a demo unit, looks amazing on a hand indeed. The bad part, the waiting list is so long they stopped putting people on ot

manishvishnoi29 18 May 2018 02:28 PM

I'm really enjoying the colors of the Pepsi in these photos.

rockdrock 18 May 2018 06:14 PM

Any idea when these will start shipping to ADs? I heard June.

Those bezel colours are all wrong. Pinky red and purply blue!

1William 18 May 2018 08:54 PM

A good looking watch. I look forward to seeing it in person.

Loevhagen 18 May 2018 08:58 PM

I like the bracelet. I like the SS.

I'm not so sure about the king size numbers in the rotating insert, and I'm not sure if Rolex trimmed down the lug wide enough.

As for the colors? Have to see it in person, as every picture shows different results under different light conditions and camera type.

brandrea 18 May 2018 09:00 PM

It’s a good looking piece for sure.:thumbsup: I still can’t decide if it’s for me, so I guess it’s a pass at this point:chuckle:

Great more for me!

HL65 18 May 2018 09:25 PM

Love it and can't wait to get the call! The jubilee looks amazing and such a nice compliment to the watch! It's a good thing there are so many haters of the colors and bracelet so there should be tons available. :chuckle:

Thanks for sharing! :cheers:

of the haters this is my estimation

10% wouldn't buy it even if it was the aluminum colors as they dont like GMT's
20% probably it is truly a color issue that they dont like
20% dont like jubilees and are not open to it an any situation
50% saw the waitlist and then decided since they were not getting it anyway, they now dont like it:chuckle:

MonsterSS 18 May 2018 09:45 PM

looks good, but I will have to see it in person before passing final judgement.... but looks good, thank you for sharing!

Your missing the percentage that won't buy it due to not receiving the warranty card :agree:

I think people claim to have principles but when offered a watch they want, they will walk out of the AD with the watch and without the card. Its much easier said than done.

Yeah, deffo, I have gotten over that factor now and my last purchases have all had their stickers removed. Warranty card is a no issue now...

Daytonaman799 18 May 2018 10:12 PM

LOVE THIS WATCH! I think they crushed it with the jubilee. The last few years the modern Rolexes have actually done a great job blending the best of the new with the best of the old. I think this includes the Exp II, the Daytona C, and now the new Pepsi.

The logic behind the jubilee is simple. People who bought the WG 116719 BLRO are probably die hard fans. The new release must be differentiated from the WG version, thus the jubilee bracelet to keep the peace.

Either way both are gorgeous pieces, here is my BLRO saying hi :)

BTW the watch looks great on you

Thank you. From the brief time I had it on my wrist I found it comfortable and I happen to like the aesthetics of the juibilee bracelet, but I can understand why others don't care for the look.
