I think this is the Rolex GMT Pepsi killer!

Andad · 28 April 2018, 03:21 PM

A Seiko?

LOL. Some people do like GS though.

To me it kind of looks like an under developed EXP II.

dmash · 28 April 2018, 03:25 PM

You’re totally right! I’m sure everyone looking for a bi-colored bezel Rolex would jump ship for a monotoned Seiko. What a killer, I bet the Pepsi waitlists will be down 50% before day’s end!

It's a beautiful watch but "Rolex Pepsi Killer" is a stretch.

Speedbird-1 · 28 April 2018, 03:34 PM

It's, 'very nice', my friend.

It’s really a beautiful watch, but the pepsi GMT is an icon...

Onikage · 28 April 2018, 03:37 PM

.. Sorry to break it to you but that isn't a Pepsi. In fact there isn't anything Pepsi about it. I hate to be the bearer of bad news and apologise if this comes as a surprise.

Whaaaaaat? This is like comparing a Chevy Malibu to a Chevy Corvette, there is absolutely no comparison to be made. One is iconic and the other is well...a Seiko.

While I do agree that they are in no way alike, except for analog time and GMT function.

But it is a Grand Seiko, which is immaculately finished.

First of all, Rolex is not even an American brand. So the analogy does not make sense. It is true that American cars are like crapy Seiko watches!

imperio · 28 April 2018, 03:43 PM

No

JRT · 28 April 2018, 03:48 PM

How can it be a killer of Rolex GMT Pepsi without a beautiful bi-color rotating bezel? Besides, the GS GMT is entirely invisible in a dark environment.....

Swiss Mad! · 28 April 2018, 03:54 PM

This is the Rolex Forum & this thread has the potential to quickly turn into an ugly OP slating match.
I don't imagine one single forum member is going to be in agreement with the original statement.
OP, maybe you would get more sympathy with this thought process over on the TZ forum or Watcheseek or somewhere...anywhere but TRF!
Just sayin' for your own protection.

I get that GS produces great movements but at the end of the day it’s a Seiko. If you like it great but it will NEVER be a Rolex.

I can't get past 'but it's a Seiko' either. A finely finished amazing Seiko but still a Seiko none the less - A brand that makes watches ranging from inexpensive China-made all the way up to Rolex-priced masterpieces from Japan. I quite like a Seiko but not enough to pay thousands for one made and finished to haute horology standards. Also more Japanese wear Rolexes anyway. Says something.

A classic post displaying all the true hallmarks of ignorance and brand snobbery/slavery!
How many pieces each year do Rolex make?
How many mechanical pieces (inc. Spring Drives and sister brands Galante and Credor, and LE Prospex) do Seiko hand assemble at their two specialist studios?
Forget the millions of movements produced annually for their own and 3rd party products - that’s a complete irrelevance.

To make it easy for you, I’ve mentioned these numbers in previous posts.

Sorry, OP. I don't mean to dispirit you. But this Tudor BB GMT looks much nicer than Seiko GMT. All other members here would choose Tudor over Seiko anytime.

A poor man's Rolex GMT:

You have a nice Tudor Watch. But at the end of the day, your Tudor is a lower end Rolex!
