UA-cam watch reviewers take note; this is how a watch review should be done. Amazing job! Multiple real world shots and videos in different circumstances and lighting; not just holding the watch and talking about it. The fact that you owned the watch for years and you were able to give a long term review with likes and dislikes. Great job
As others have mentioned, nice on-the-wrist shots. Agree with the jubilee being too flashy. However the oyster bracelet comes with polished central links that may also be too flashy to some. Can’t wait for mine to arrive.
I couldn't wait any longer so I just bought it on the secondary from a reputable dealer at a decent price I may I add and if I finally get it from the AD at some point then I'd sell this one, keep the new one and get my money back. It's beautiful. I'm very happy with the decision. Also, Rolex is having some production issues with the ceramic bezel in red so who knows what may happen in the future with this piece. I figured, I get mine now just in case. Btw, I agree that the jubilee is a little bit more flashy but it's more comfortable and it also looks very nice, the oyster bracelet scratches easier because of the polished middle links. The jubilee sells at a premium compared to the oyster as well.
Literally, the best on wrist shots of the pepsi. Better than any other vid in that respect. This is the only vid I've seen that truly captures how good looking this watch is on the wrist.
@@RedDotWatches I have this same Exact Rolex except in the black and blue color way. Only had it for a few months and just now noticing it’s running +4 secs per day, surprised since all Rolex models are rated at +/- 2 secs per day. Maybe it needed to be wound more from sitting. Interested to hear your findings.
I can guarantee your watch doesn't get the level of attention that you think it does. The only people that'll be looking at it are yourself, the 0.01% of people who are watch nerds, and potential watch thieves. Everyone else will ignore it. So yes you should wear it whenever you want.
I think the example he gave of car sales or other contract negotiations are the environments where it will be more likely recognized. Although, I’ve been shocked when a kid checking me out at the grocery store says “nice Pepsi!”. The Rolex hype has made the general formula recognizable like a 911. I’d say an average person can spot the date bubble. You’d be hard pressed to get them to later tell you if the Pepsi was a 1675/16750 matte dial or new ceramic.
Ok. From the distance it looks like a kid toy watch. Plastic and stuff. Only when you get closer looks real. I wouldn’t wear it to a suit. Looks like a joke
Great video. I just hit 10 years with my GMT blue/black "batman" and just took in in for service this week because it's not holding a charge for even 24 hours. It's definitely overdo for service. I'd love to own your Pepsi on the jubilee. I also love the "root beer" two-tone version. They are all just so hard to get these days. 10 years ago I literally walked into the dealer and the case was full of options and you could choose any watch you wanted. How the world has changed.
Funny you say that. I want the Bateman too, on a business trip it’s a better piece. Yes, when my sub 10yrs ago, i got to choose between the sub-date, bateman and black gmt all for sale at retail. I do think that the retail market is coming back to 2018 these days where steel sports is within range if you’re patient.
Such a chameleon and timeless watch that will be passed down for generations! Very cool… also appreciate your input about the clasp or lack of adjustability. Thanks
Just got called to pick up my 126719BLRO.0002 (Meteorite) ... beyond excited. I've been wearing the CHNR Rose gold for the past 4 years, bur I've always liked the Pepsi color scheme best.
This is an awesome timepiece , it’s definitely an Icon that’s been the industry leader for decades . Love this watch keep wearing and enjoying your watch . Thanks for sharing
@@RedDotWatches Eastwood wore his Rolex GMT Master Root Beer (reference number 16753) on screen in both Firefox, which was released in 1982, and In the Line of Fire, which was released in 1993. I've had my Rolex 'Pepsi' now for 8 months on the oyster bracelet. As you said It's not a one watch collection.

Great video, but I am really weary of hearing all the hype about the Rolex Pepsi. Aren't there any other Rolex models worth talking about once in awhile?
I agree with you, i’m sick of rolexes but the hype is warranted. The case shape, 904L for steel sports in that price range there isn’t anything as good IMO. If you have alternatives let me know
@@RedDotWatches I am a fan of the Rolex GMT, it is just the Rolex Pepsi that I am tired of hearing so much about. (I have a Batman BLNR that I wear several times a week.)
I had a 16700 and wore it for two decades as my one and only watch. Yes, I've worn flip flops and pajama pants to the grocery wearing a Pepsi and still felt proud lol. Now I recently purchased a 126710 Pepsi on Oyster. My grail, I must admit.. Subscribed and clicked on the bell. Looking forward to more videos. Love to see a long term review of your sub and a shout out :) You deserve and obtain more subscribers before you know it :)
A really well done video. I went with the oyster bracelet since that is what my 1967 GMT has. Also I won’t wear it to the flea market here in Albuquerque. Other then that. I won’t take it off. Even doing my lap swimming. Buy one, you will never get cold feet paying big money. However, having no family or debts. This is why my sub & my GMT are 2022 models. But I drive a 08 Hyundai Elantra. My mountain bike is 35 yrs. Old. My road bike is 40 yrs. Old. Nobody stops to think what kind of watch this guy is wearing judging by my bikes.
Beyond the hype, once you own and wear a Rolex like you’ve described. There’s something about the timelessness of the design and robustness that no other brand can touch. Enjoy your GMT 🤘🏻
Dislike #2 spot on - i just got my Batman and am very pleased that i took the Oyster bracelet. Then i'll get a jubilee on a datejust for formal occasions.
@@RedDotWatches You can probably add to the list the sky-dweller with blue dial jubilee as well . The green dial is nice but I think the blue looks nicer.
Teaser for the 50 year review: This watch has taken a licking and keeps on ticking. It still feels great on the wrist. I can wear it for any occasion. I’ve made a lifetime of memories with it on my wrist. This just may be the only watch I’ll ever need. Because it is!
Very nicely done. Looks great on you too. Agree on the glidelock, this should be on all Rolex sports watches now. Your other dislike isn't your fault. It's the world we live in unfortunately...... Enjoy.
That’s what will separate the SUB from the GMT. The Sub definitely has the superior bracelet and bezel. I love the clicks on my sub verses my BLNR. But the BLNR wins with the GMT function and the fact it comes on a Jub.
@@RedDotWatchesI totally agree. I have a Pepsi on Jubilee which I got new from my AD on February 4th, 2023. The clasp has a few scratches from use, but the bracelet is absolutely perfect. I’ve worn my Pepsi every single day since I got it and certainly haven’t babied it. There is not a single mark on the Jubilee bracelet. It’s the perfect daily wear bracelet

Next time i go to my dealer i’ll put it on his machine and let you know. Probably +2-3 seconds per day.

Not if it's the full rose gold GMT or yellow gold sub. very identifiable as expensive

I have the Pepsi and Batman but more partial to the Pepsi. So many compliments and I’ve had it for 6 years now. Thanks for your video
Love the video! What was the dish called at 1:35 ?! looks so good
That's a Shrimp Pad Thai!
I’m picking one up in 2 days time to add to my small collection
Great seeing someone who actually wears it. Most just keep it in a lock box.

Thats a nice piece. Enjoy!
I have a Tudor bbGMT and wear it everywhere. Also nobody pays attention since it isn’t a Rolex so I dig that it’s low key and under the radar…
Yea everyone needs a Tudor in their collection. I’ll be reviewing my BB58 as the next video.
Very nice practical video!

The glidelock's bigger clasp would NOT be good for this watch. The shorter clasp is perfect 👌
Or better yet, just offer the “hidden clasp” that Rolex still puts on the 31 & 28mm datejusts. You give up the “Easy link” which I never use.
The easy link is the 5mm adjustment right? That seems like it is too much to be useful?
Good to hear.
(It’s my “vintage-grail” watch. Over the moon for the ones with “chocolate-tropical“ dials.)
Good point. But that's why I have a white gold one.

Congratulations on your 126710! I got one also in April but I’ve switched out the oyster bracelet for the jubilee.

What a fantastic review I’m picking one up this weekend (hopefully)

this gmt pepsi jubilee and the Daytona Panda are the goats in my opinion.
Hard to argue against that!

Been on the waitlist for just over 6 months. I'll watch any PEPSI review.

Great vid bro, wish to have it one day!
Thanks man. Yea you won’t regret it at all!
Little correction: Not American Airlines but PanAm 😊
Just wish my two year wait at the AD would come to an end🤷♂️
My opinion is that a watch especially a rolex watch has nothing to do in a gym, other than that great video
Anybody gonna mention the food shots? 😋🤤
After 3 years of use it still looks new
The jubilee is the key. The clasp is completely scratched up.

My dislike from owning a gmt and a sub is the legibility. Once the sun goes down for get it.
Yes which is why the matte finished dials like the Sea Dweller 116600 is so great
@@RedDotWatchesI assume when it gets totally dark the legibility goes back up on account of the lume?
@@phildo864 I've never had issues with legibility. I would wake the take care of the kids at 3am pitch black and read the time.
Ah yes, famous celebrity Magum P.I 😂
Damn you have *1* subscriber.
