  • Welcome to HODINKEE's new video series, The Spec Sheet, where we use digestible, 60-second clips to showcase everything you need to know about a particular watch. The Spec Sheet hits all the details: Case size, wrist feel, thickness, movement, reference number, and (yes!) lug-to-lug dimensions. It's the next best thing to having the watch in your own hands.
    In need of no introduction is the Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 BLRO, affectionately referred to as the "Pepsi." Based on the darling of mid-century pilots and vintage aficionados alike, the Pepsi is virtually a future-classic version of an already-classic model. Seen here in the at the time hotly-anticipated steel, released in 2018. Today, the Spec Sheet provides a most assured answer to the age-old question: Is Pepsi okay?

      It's 24 clicks in total for a full rotation. To state the number 12 simply because that's as far as you got is clearly misleading. I agree with Lucas in that this was simply an error on hodinkees part. The reply seems like a cheap copout, acting obtuse in the face of valid criticism

      @@EarthbornCrafting I don't know if they consider me a VIP or not. I met the SA I work with in May '21. She got me my z-blue Milgauss six weeks later. Then the Polar Exp II, which I requested in July '21, she got me in November '21. Then the Pepsi I requested in Jan '22, I got in October '22. Those are the only things I bought from them, she only sells Rolex.

    I like the Pepsi color edition, but I probably wont be getting it, primarily because every brand pretty much has their own version. Not saying other brands made the same versions as the more expensive watches, this one stands out the most imo

    Heavy and bulky. Not refined like some brands (JLC, Patek, Cartier).... waste of money unless money is no object (I'll just add this for clarity - this is only my opinion. Some people see this watch as their grail. I just feel differently about most Rolex, after trying many on... I prefer elegant watches, which these are not... just personal taste)
