Why I Hate The New Rolex Pepsi Oyster! - Rolex GMT Master II Review (126710)

[@bbc762x51]

Eric, you're the realest dude in the social media space of watches. Keep being you and not trying to be a celebrity like the other clowns.

[@patricko9170]

I couldn't agree more about the other clowns. They forgot they are just watch dealers; not celebrities . Eric and Fed are my favorite watch people.

[@j.t1682]

I totally agree. Eric, we enthusiasts can't afford $300K RM, at least not yet. You keep us interested and informed of what's happening in our community not just how much watches are costing.

[@nr1416]

All black GMT is way too similar to a Sub, from 5 feet you can't even tell the difference. Rolex is trying to draw a line in the sand between Subs and GMTs in looks and another reason the Sub case and bracelet got slightly bigger.

[@jimlittle5769]

Exactly

[@watchguy8360]

Even the blue submariner looks close to a GMT BLNR at a distant. That’s why I like GMTs on jubilee

[@avarmauk]

I can tell, but only because of the bracelet. Can’t tell by just looking at the face

[@SebsTech1]

Respectfully Eric I disagree about the power reserve, it’s a really great step forward for the movements and it lets you have some room for when you want to wear your other pieces for a day or two and not have to set the others. Although 100% Rolex should have brought back the LN GMT, best looking one to date alongside the coke

[@WatchEric]

Thank you!

[@georgecedenojr]

Nah my dude, I love the oyster band. The jubilee bracelet looks pretentious on me. Yet, I do agree on this 3:03, they should re-release the black ceramic! That's 100% Right On Eric!

[@moritzmusik5826]

Eric, you perfectly blend passion for watches and taking things not too seriously. I love it!

[@WatchEric]

I appreciate your support

[@metro2171]

The coke would have been great but I am happy to say I was fortunate to get both The new batman and Pepsi this year on Oyster in steel , I love this combination . Team oyster forever

[@nomanor7987]

Is the jubilee and oyster interchangeable on the new Pepsi?

[@nmdc93]

Whats the difference between the black GMT and a sub? Apart from the green hand it looks the same

[@WatchEric]

Polished center links. Different bezel writing

[@cuba7965]

Eric , keep doing what you do, your expertise and knowledge non-bias Reviews, if only some of these Major Watch Companies, would listen and read Reviews…

[@WatchEric]

Lol💯😎🤷🏻‍♂️💪🏼

[@dandsyfam1813]

Keep those 116710LN values high. The standard model will always just be pure class. The colors (subs and GMTs), while pretty, can sometimes come across like you're wearing too much cologne. Trying a bit hard among polite company.

[@ninumedia]

Congratulations on 100K, Eric! I knew you could do it and super proud of you brother. We called this together at Roman's party in Philly and you nailed it. Way to go~

hey Eric, great video as always. would ever do a review on an FP Journe in the near future? maybe too dressy / classic for Miami but I feel like there is a lot of interest for that brand in the market right now.

[@WatchEric]

Great suggestion! YES

[@j.t1682]

Eric, one of the reasons why I never miss any episode of your channel is because you keep it real. You keep us informed and share your thoughts on watches that are still within our reach. Seriously though, those guys who can afford to spend 300k or more on watches like RM, do they even watch KZbin channels?

[@IAMFRESH]

Congrats on the 100K subs!! Keep up the dope content.

[@WatchEric]

Thank you!!

[@son8128]

Actually Eric I think the older white gold Pepsi black dial will be rly collectible in the future since it’s kinda rare compare to the steel. As a owner of the white gold Pepsi black dial, I was upset at first even when the steel jubilee Pepsi came out. But now that had time to think and digest, I rly like that mine is white gold and not many will know. In fact the white gold bezel has a slightly a different shade of red and blue. I’m not gonna change it to the blue dial either. I agree that it would be rly rly cool to have the new coke in steel and I’m hoping to see it release soon. The coke has always been my favourite variant of the gmt

[@Watch.hector]

Mi hermano felicidades por los 100k aquí estamos como siempre!

[@WatchEric]

Gracias!!

[@zzygyy]

Gratz on the 100k subs.

[@WatchEric]

Thanks!

[@amouraviva]

Agee with you, three colours- black dial red and blue bezel, too many colours for a class watch! Pepsi would be be better with a blue dial. As for the Oyster bracelet with that great lump of a clasp… scratch magnet if ever. Classier on a Jubilee bracelet with concealed clasp. Roll on the Coke on a Jubilee bracelet….expect a megga long waitlist! Would be interesting to see if Rolex bring back the Serti dial to boost the GMT even further…

[@denniscastaneda757]

Hi Eric, I love your red string bracelet,where can I buy it?

@@WatchEric my ad texted me and asked for a list of rolex watches that I’m interested after months of holding my deposit. Idk if they’re f’ing with me or if they’re expecting inventory?

[@kevinharvey8513]

Got the blue dial white gold gmt and it’s a bad ass watch. I wonder if they will discontinue the white gold blue dial version. What’s your take Erik?

[@petemcginnis]

I think Rolex made a great move by turning out the Pepsi on the oyster bracelet. I love mine as it was purchased from the AD. Furthermore, this can be a daily driver if one chooses. Jumping into the all gold might not be affordable and the gold isn't as tolerant to dings and scratches as the stainless steel. Therefore, Rolex made a good decision whereas its attainable at the AD level vs jumping up to the precious metal. Eric keep up the good work we love the edge you take on your channel it's the reason why I choose to subscribe.

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

It's not about the "70 hour power reserve". It's an updated movement, so it gets a new model number. Also, in theory, putting the Pepsi on a stainless steel watch makes it more attainable for people (if there were stock). Also, the 41mm Sub is less than half a mm bigger than the 40mm Sub, but they ditched the maxi case, so it looks better. My fav is still the SD4K though. God I love that watch.

[@antg.3846]

[@watchmeticking7000]

Nice vid Eric. Agree on the power reserve, sure, has some value but winding and setting a watch is part of the charm and experience. In addition to couple of Rolexes I have a manual JLC Reverso and winding this before strapping it on the wrist adds a sense of occasion that I enjoy as part of the experience.

[@WatchEric]

Well said!

[@AA22728]

Still in love with my Pepsi Jubilee , I agree Eric the addition of oyster bracelet was not needed . What do you think of the rumors that the Pepsi will be discontinued because of the bezel ?

I have a Pepsi on jubilee and a new Batman on oyster. Great to switch the bracelets. Gives you 4 different looks. Gmt master 2 is such a great and versatile model.

Yes they do. lol

[@unclejonga]

Do you prefer the Pepsi on the Jubilee then Eric?

[@DrRandomStranger]

2:35 it is not just more power reserve. There is a completely new movement in those watches.

[@WatchEric]

Yes. But it just gives you more power reserve over the older version

[@DrRandomStranger]

@@WatchEric well, isn't the new movement more antimagnetic and has a longer service intervall?

Agree that the oyster SS Pepsi hurts the Pepsi White gold BUT the black dial only. The Pepsi white gold blue dial is different and without a doubt an awesome watch that looks everyone want it know.

You hit on a good point there: I own a hulk & the original Batman oyster. I used to wear them as everyday & think nothing of it. Now I wear black bays because with Rolex, the rioting value of them gatecrashed the party & enjoyment, in part at least, decided to leave.

[@Steve_Schiffenhaus]

Totally get your point BUT the only white gold Pepsi for me is the Meteorite Dial which you can get in SS

[@VmanStudioz]

100% on the mark! Great call Eric!! and Yes - wear your watches!!!

Exactly!

[@ianandrew7010]

Just subscribed Eric, cracking video 👌

[@josephmaldonado8099]

Going back decades, the Pepsi in steel came first. So, it’s just my opinion but, that watch should ALWAYS be available in steel. For fans still waiting their turn on this one… we are glad it’s an option.

[@nazu5998]

Nice vid Eric , wish rolex bring out a 41mm hulk would be cool to see as they done it with the batman

[@WatchEric]

[@aubriaking6908]

what i don’t is sub mariner, GMT and yatchmaster,sea master all look the same so i would even know which one to get

[@Ballsyone]

Rolex may be having difficulty making the black and red bezel insert. It took years for the Pepsi to look right. I wore the Coke for 15+ years with the aluminum bezel.

[@sympathyforthebezel6068]

Next question for WatchEric…was it a mistake having Explorer returning to 36mm??

[@WatchEric]

Two tone yes

[@justinsorci5998]

I agree, especially on the power reserve topic....that’s what watch winders are for. I simply put my Rolexes on a watch winder when I’m not wearing them, so the power reserve is a non-issue.

[@gokulswami]

Congratualtion on reaching 100k subscribers man, that's awesome!! For this watch to be selling over double the retail price and asking if Rolex has messed up, the market is telling us the watch is a huge success. However, I agree it's laziness and has annoyed the white gold pepsi owners but to be honest, the white gold pepsi with the meteorite dial destroyed the other white gold GMT pieces anyway in my opinion.

[@WatchEric]

Much appreciated!

Good vid man! But, honestly, I don t know what to think about those bracelets option on the gmt2 (I own the Pepsi on jubilé): The gold one is still différent with its blue dial and there are officionados of oyster bracelet but also jubilé. Why not satisfying everybody?

[@19NJS71]

Hey man.. a new movement is a big change.. disagree with you on this video. There are only 2 steel gmts.. plenty of room for new versions.. and the new bracelets are interchangeable, before they weren’t

[@WorldofHHS]

Bruh where are you😂

[@kevinzh5898]

I missed to watch this video, I have same feeling, at time Pepsi came out and Batman changed to batgirl, I was like : man, it looks stylish, Rolex seems doing all steel GMT with only jubilee to build a new GMT unique style, let’s go! Then when oyster came out again, I feel disappointed. Too many options is style less

[@lastminute2607]

I like this version of watch eric. grumpy watch Eric! keep up the vids! love your insight!

[@WatchEric]

Lolol!

[@mauriebarnes8272]

Just because we can do a thing; should we do that thing? This is what Rolex should have considered. Agree, this move kills the FWG version. Cool video - sunglasses came off that's as rare as a steel day-date sighting!

[@WatchEric]

Lolol😂🤷🏻‍♂️😎

[@KermitDaQwak]

The point of re-releasing the Batman was to disrupt the gray market, which your own disappoint kinda confirms.

[@WatchEric]

Uhhh lol. That did not disrupt me at all. I sell both. The more the better

[@KermitDaQwak]

@@WatchEric Like you said in the vid, I did stop the crazy price rise on the grey market which is the effect Rolex was going for in my opinion.

[@jeffreybialowas4637]

I usually agree with you Eric, but I think it’s a great idea for this model, I love mine. I usually never buy tool watches in previous metals and they are out of the reach for most. I like the oyster much more for a tool watch and having a lil more power reserve no big deal for me but a better value if you got it at retail. The watch just pops better the jubilee Pepsi and def looks more tool and attractive then Batman-girl. I can see this piece hitting 27-28k for Christmas 🎄. The meteorite Pepsi is a mint watch and that is the only tool watch in precious metal I would go for but now pretty much unattainable. Great video,Jeff.

[@vincec5251]

I feel like they should of stuck to their guns and not re-release the oyster bracelet for the GMTs. They should of kept it with a jubilee and then re-release it with black dial and bezel. Would of differentiated itself from the Submariner that way

[@loriosterweil982]

I love your videos because you always make me laugh.

[@thaiexcellencemobile5816]

Not sure 'necessary' and 'luxury watch' belongs in the same sentence. The Rolls-Royce Phantom is available in 17 colors, necessary?

[@echojacobs]

I think the black GMT would have been a hit. I wanna see it on a jubilee too. I like the way the batgirl looks on jubilee, but I like how subtle the all black is. Good compliment to my no-date sub

[@turnbull524]

I’ve got a Pepsi jubilee, I didn’t like the strap at the start but I’ve grown to love it. I have the oyster hulk & bluekit and they do feel more substantial though.

[@romi8399]

@Watch Eric i kinda get what you mean eric but in the end you have the option for the oyster on the pepsi and it looks awesome so its a great option nothing special but good for team oyster bracelet if you dont like jubilee

[@WatchEric]

Also correct

[@vladimirzigic3365]

@Watch Eric Hi Eric, I'm a big fan but this time I have to points: 1. Disagree on power reserve - it's a HUGE difference if your watch still runs on Monday when you put it on the table on Friday, or not. 2. Loose that hoodie man, it kills your style, it's tacky, come on. Keep up the good work, Cheers
