One of the most sought after watches in the world - Rolex 'Pepsi' 126710BLRO

[@andreasmaltezos8926]

I bought my GMT MASTER in 1972, 50 years on my wrist. In my book,the best watch ever made

[@timmanion7459]

I've owned Rolex for 50+ yrs. I have never been let down by any of my Rolex watches. The GMT Master2 it the standard that all others aspire . I know people hate hearing that as it's become almost fashionable in the watch world to trash on Rolex . I have 2 GMT Master2 's in my collection. One of them , my Batman with oyster bracelet, I wear a lot . I also have an older Pepsi that I rarely wear because of its recent uptic in value . I guess I'm just an unapologetic Rolex fan .

I’m a Rolex fanboy, I own a couple and I suspect there’s more to join my collection, however, I will be the first to say their not perfect, but what they do do well, they do it perfectly, like their bracelets fit and finish, the robustness, durability, and reliability of their movements, the rich brand history, the status symbol that comes with it (which can sometimes be negative) and the fact that they’re so hard to acquire, it’s a joy to own even one. The places where Rolex falls a little short are just about everything Bruce mentions in this video, all I can live with.

Rolex offers the perfect mix of luxury, affordability, quality style and brand. That is what they do so well. There are others that are cheaper, more stylish, more luxurious, higher quality and a more exclusive brand but they don't do all of these categories at the same time as well as Rolex.

[@stebesplace]

Sadly, Rolex over the last 5-7 years has officially become a commodity for trading. Speculators and new watch folks coming into the market realized this, and proceeded to purchase these models to artificially shrink supply and drive pricing up. You'd think it's already enough for people to drop $10K on a nice watch, but now (thanks to things like the stock market at all time highs), more people have disposable cash, and where else to put that money than luxury goods (even in a pandemic), real estate, etc. It's really more than just one issue here, there are several factors driving this Rolex situation, and sadly we're past the point of no return I feel. So get on that wait list for 2-3 years, or purchase grey at 100% markup, since those are the only two choices it seems.

[@jonathana2079]

Excellent review. I think your comments on Rolex are pretty much spot on. Yes, Rolex isn't perfect and there are better finished and more complicated watches out there, but on balance--accuracy, ruggedness, style, value retention, and brand cache--I don't see any brand better than Rolex. Although many hater's won't admit it, much of the hate is just sour grapes over not being able to buy one on demand from the AD because demand far outstrips supply. And, I don't blame Rolex for deciding they are not going to get caught up in market ups and downs and risk over producing watches in a down market and hurting their brand. You, perhaps rightly, did not mention the other knock on Rolex--many people who buy them are neouveau riche loud mouths trying to show off. That, of course, is a whole other topic. I'm not a Rolex apologist, but I do think people need to maintain some perspective. Once again, a well balanced review.

[@avarmauk]

There doesn't seem to be a "fair" way for the everyday person to buy one if they want to as the AD tend to sell to "reserve stock" to those who spend the most which also tend to be the same people buying/selling immediately to grey market dealers with no intent to own/wear the watch they buy.

I slightly disagree with you as far as the availability being what makes it luxury. I have the ability to purchase any of the Rolex watches that I like, and there are quite a few. I like you am a fan of their pieces. That being said I refuse to pay double retail or to play the AD game where I have to go in and buy ear rings, and necklaced and all of the types of jewelry just to have "a relationship" so that I can get on a list to wait two to three years to be able to buy one. Unfortunately for me, I reached my financial freedom in life at the wrong time. I can remember just a few years walking into a local AD in Lafayette when I was living there and counter was full of every model Rolex sold and I would always walk out and say one day (I had other more important responsibilities at the time).

Great video. Awesome close-ups of the watch. I am not a Rolex fanboy and do not own one. But, I do respect what they have done. This Pepsi GMT is a classic timepiece. I had a summer job hauling people's unwanted items from their homes and this one guy--who was a former astronaut--had a Pepsi GMT. I just kept staring at it while he showed my stepdad and me what he wanted hauled away. It was the same watch that Thomas Magnum wore on "Magnum P.I." Even though TV series had long been cancelled by then I watched the reruns regularly. The Pepsi fell off of my radar screen and by the time I looked into getting one the prices were so far out of my price range. Sadly, I do not think I will ever be able to get one. So now, I am currently modding a Seiko to make it a facsimile of the much-admired original. No, definitely not the same thing. But, it looks fantastic and at 5% of MSRP, I'm diggin' it.

Nice video but Rolex just leaves me cold. A million watches mass produced every year, mostly machine made with some hand finishing. I cannot understand the attraction other than marketing and manipulated shortages fooling people into paying $10k+++++ for a two thousand dollar watch.

[@nemeninemeni]

This era is no longer the Rolex I once loved and cherished. The GMT for example is not just a tool but a status symbol. I'll stick with my 1675 instead.

[@omarion07]

You just wish that the watch brand you like would get the same level of attention and hype as a Rolex would. Out of every 4 watches sold in 2020, one is a Rolex. Let that sink in for a minute.

Dont hate the player, hate the game.

[@Niro_Hero]

@@omarion07 you know the numbers are skewed, right? Grey dealers are also considered as buyers from the AD.

[@omarion07]

@@Niro_Hero no they're not. Flippers sell to grey dealers. So Flippers are the buyers and they contribute to the numbers of sales.

Excellent video

Side by side, the Hulk looks the star of the show. If anything, this video has put me off the Pepsi for good, it’s way too blingy for my liking. Finally I’d just like to add my biggest annoyance with Rolex sports watches, they should ALL have the glidelock clasp, period. 🤬

[@tyronevanwyk3652]

Agree that all should have glide lock clasps.

[@James-qr9vp]

Ive got both. Glidelock is certainly more convenient, but it's huge. I have a 7.25" wrist and it's just too big.

[@50calpulse76]

Ive got the Pepsi on my list not sure if i will ever see one from the AD time will tell

If I could pick just one Rolex in the entire catalog, it’s the Pepsi. A holy grail for me.

My father traded a tag for a Pepsi years ago. His brother in law wanted the tag back that he gifted my father so he traded the Pepsi for it. Well my dad isn’t a watch guy and got pissed the bezel kept fading. After the third bezel swap (he still has them all) he finally found a guy to swap it to a black bezel. I lost my shit on him for what he was doing and told him to switch it back asap to the original faded. Years later it’s still black. He couldn’t care less. He wears it daily. I recently showed him how much they are selling for. He just shrugged his shoulders and said, who cares.
