I’d take the new GMT over SubLV all day long and I own SubLV which I love.

Pretty much this. I owned the Hulk as well.

Agreed!

[Rogdogg]

I think I would lean SubLV but it would be a pretty close call.

The new GMT looks nice, but I can't get past the flawed design between the bracelet and lugs / watch case. The bracelet looks like it wasn't made for the new model. I can't remember to have seen such a poor design in any Rolex - ever. :(

Have no idea what happened in the design dept. this time.

Explained below.

As you can see, the bracelet doesn't look like it was made for this model - at all.

It should have followed the proper design / lug curvature as the previous jubilee / super jubilee obviously managed to do.

Strapcode would have made a better job here.

Nice picture. Do you thinks it’s to discourage trying oyster on the new one? Maybe it’s for spring bar placement etc.

That is NO flaw, it works absolutely perfectly in real when you have the watch. Rolex nailed it, if anyone listens to this argument as a reason not to buy the watch, well it is your loss. There will be those with Sub and BLNR love issues that do not like the Jubilee that will not get it.

Take it from me the design is so perfect, the only thing you notice is a 5 digit aesthetic and look because the second part of the end link goes past the lug. With the oyster he lugs go PST the end link and the design looks square.

The Pepsi is just awesome, and I have a BLNR.

I like the jubilee, but TBH - the missing fit on this model is de facto a design flaw. Compare it to the original jubilee and super jubilee, and you'll notice the bracelet and lugs doesn't match as the former versions.

I have no problems with the fat lugs. It's only the substandard design mentioned in the images above, that irritates me.

Rolex should have hired a CNC-specialist from Strapcode for this release.

Well, I don’t HATE it, but it looks more like an aftermarket bracelet than something designed specifically for that watch. Looks like a rush job to me just to get the watch ready to sell while differentiating it from the white gold model. I do agree it’s poor design but Rolex will still sell everyone they make.

Very strange how people see things. The endlink design is by far the best iteration I've seen of the jubilee.
I happen to love this design so obviously disagree with your opinion.

Agreed. It’s all preference and somewhat subjective but I would never see this as a design flaw. Ever

Fully agree. I love the new design. Sometimes we are a tough bunch to please.

The bracelet / endlink design on the first gen DBlue was similar for me, although it really didn’t bother me ... until they addressed it with the new one

I thought i was the only one!

Theyve done this a few times now where they just used whichever existing bracelet so the end links wouldnt sit correctly.

Reminds me of when cars have these beautiful lines on the body and then iut kf nowhere a door handle or mirrors and badging would just be randomly placed.

I have one and it works 100%.

Where the lugs on a SubC and GMT can look square or bulky this Pepsi does not. The design has a pre ceramic aesthetic. It is perfect and only when you see it for real, try it on and wear it can you see the difference.

It just does not look bulky and the lugs do not steal the show, you just do not notice them as with a pre ceramic. The Jubilee is super comfortable and does not show scratches like a oyster bracelet.

I’ve had a SubC
I’ve got a BLNR
I’ve got a Pepsi and I would take it everyday of the week.

I suspect most on here voting have never seen a Pepsi or worn one and probably have a Hulk or SubC so there is a vested interest and loyalty.

I hadn't noticed that, you're right, it looks strange.

I think this is an attempt at deception. He is trying to deflate the pepsi in hopes that people who are easily influenced will lose interest in the new watch. If successful, it makes the new watch more easily obtained for those who see it for what it really is: the coolest watch out there.
