Man, the way you deliver your speech is so poetic. I love it
JettYung the talking pair of hands now have competition. Well this is also a pair of talking hands😅
Thanks for the amazing video. I spoke with my AD about this watch last time I stopped by. Instead of telling me "forget about it ". He told me "I can make it happen". 🤩. We will see...
The 126710 BLRO is just unbelievably perfect. Dude, I would NEVER wear another watch if I had that. Wow.
Really ? I think its boring af
I would sell my left nut for this watch
It's the one Magnum P.I. was rocking back in the day
morningwaves ... exactly what made me get it. Wear it everyday. Probably last watch I’ll get. The rest are too boring or not robust enough.
Agreed. I felt the same way when I got my Submariner 21 years ago and still love it. The only watch you ever need if you were going to get just one watch. However, I'm now lusting for the Pepsi.
Excellent video. Beautiful watches. I have my Father’s Rolex from 1973 and it’s still beautiful. It’s a little smaller than current models but still holds up. Thanks.
great video. great watches in focus. love the clarity of the video. 2 thumbs up
Just watching this video now (August 2022), wearing my modern Pepsi. Excellent storytelling on this video my friend. This may be the best regular production tool watch that Rolex makes today, especially on the Jubilee bracelet.
Cheers

The one dislike is from the CEO of Omega.
N D even apart from him there are way too many salty omega enthusiasts
which produced too many limited editions of the same watch😝
Love the music - nice edit too!
Unreal how well done this video was. It was legitimately mesmerizing. Thank you for making incredible content.
mesmerizing
Design wise, Batman colors are really a revolution for Rolex over the years compare to the new/old (black/red) and the old/new (blue/red). Thanks for the outstanding video..
One: I'm binge-watching your videos now. They're great! Two: I just love this watch. Perfect combo: Wasting time on youtube, watching things you love.
That's why Rolex is what it is today, it's because of such videos that makes every single step by Rolex a world changer.
Absolutely loved this vid, well done! That Pepsi is a grail of mine. Hopefully one day I'll own one
Top video. The only other Rolex besides my LN GMT that I’d seriously consider
Great review , brilliant narration deserving of such a beautiful watch 👏
This is one of my dream watches in the world.
I have several Rolex watches that have bought over last few years but think the reason Rolex are so successful is marketing. They are well made watches and I like them, but the unusually high level of demand is driven by a lot of status symbol seekers rather than purely watch enthusiasts. Rolex and Patek find themselves in a unique market position. They can charge whatever they like and no longer has a correlation to value and worth. In fact the more they charge the more demand will rise. This is a dangerous long term strategy as the price hikes will come back to bite them when at some point in time a natural market adjustment occurs.
Exactly, they are not that good of watches, only marketing separates them.
It is THE luxury watch of the mass populace. The general public knows nothing about the wide spectrum of watch manufacturers and quality, of which Rolex is one of many, but the only one known by the masses. This is the primary reason for the inability to simply go buy the Rolex of your choice or at a reasonable cost.
What a fantastic video, thank you.
Great video! Can you recommend a source to obtain a jubilee bracelet for my 16710?
Wow! What a great review. You definitely have a talent and should do more.
What’s the song you are using on this video? Sounds great. Nice video.
Top notch video!! Thanks you so much sir!
what watch band do you like better?
so hopefully we will get to see the reintroduction of the black/red "coke" version some time in the near future. that will be an instant hit as well!
Nice video mate.
Just put my name on the list for one of these at my AD. had to come back and rewatch the video. Now just to wait the 2 years til I get the call lol
Great video, thanks.
This is not a review, this (his) video(s) is like National Geographic channel of watches. I was like watching stories. Dude u are awesome.
Thanks
The Gmt Master II 126710BLRO has pure class and personality with that jubilee bracelet
Great video, you’re a lucky man. These are 2 beautiful Rolexes!!
Hi from Holland, subscribed!
I am getting this watch soon and pretty much know this watch inside out but I have to say your review and delivery is very much on point and was a pleasure to watch. Keep it up.
What a great video and review. I'm torn between the two actually however after seeing that you can put a jubilee band in the Batman I'm kinda leaning towards it. Have you tried to put the jubilee band in your batman? How was it?
I put jubilee in Batman at Rolex AD, it looked very nice.
The Pepsi looks great on your wrist!
Tycho, very nice.
Excellent video as per usual!
Rolex professional are holy grail watches. Especially the iconic Pepsi Jubilee. Actually the one we have the fewest at the official AD
Absolutely
Love mine... And my dealer keeps trying to buy it back from me! So you know it's something special!!
My dream watch, especially if it had a day window too like the Seiko SKX009.
Superb video
Wearing Batman on jubilee as everyday watch and I absolutely love GMT cause I use it to find what time in overseas to call my classmates and friends ... very accurate and shiny on sun and I still thinking to get Pepsi or Rootbeer version ...
That’s a bat girl don’t kid yourself lmao
@@Fellowrser whatever it’s called it looks way more classy and is just better on jubilee.
@@watchguy8360 hey watch guy thanks for replying albeit a year later lol, it looks ok but I personally don’t think the jubilee works on a gmt it is an elegant refined bracelet hence why its called a batgirl its a bit more feminine than a thick robust oyster bracelet
Great video Evan, please give up your day job and go full time ... !
Great video!
Those watches look flawless! Do you even wear them? :))
These GMTs look absolutely perfect and better on jubilee.
Does the 36mm DJ Jubilee with the hidden clasp fit the new Pepsi?
Super random but where do you get your sweaters from? 😅
Love the Batman on the Oyster bracelet. The Pepsi is a bit "too much Rolex" for me. Lovely video as always!
Kristóf Máthé : I agree with you. Unfortunately, the new Batman with 70 hour power reserve and upgraded movement only comes on jubilee. I have one on order and I will replace the jubilee with a vulcanized blue rubber bracelet from RubberB.
It’s def better on the jubilee, that’s the way the gmt is supposed to be, if you don’t like it they have the submariner which I have and love too
Jubilee is better. Have to try it on in person to realize just how stunning the jubilee is.
Congratulations 🍾!! I got tired of waiting so I picked up the 126711 chnr. Still waiting for a Batgirl! Best regards
126711 is a great choice. Far more sophisticated watch.
Pepsi is so beautiful
lovely video 🥰
I mean, they don't take risks because they don't have to. Other brands have to in order to compete with Rolex. So the lack of change in Rolex isn't a pro or a con, it's just a reflection of where they stand in the market.
You're legitimately terrific
Great and accurate video!
Gmt rosegold & steel. BEST EVER!
The real reason for the long waiting list is the flippers buy all the stock from corrupt AD's and sell it at double the price. Why are there so many 'used' gmt's for sale? On chrono24 there are 355 ceramic pepsi gmt's ( that is not a rare watch) they are selling between €14000 to €24000 . The watch retails at €9000
Best Watch
How much was the Jubilee bracelet if you buy them separately?
$1500
Another great video my man. I'm guessing we'll never see your face on your videos. Why is that? on the basis of a cancelled BaselWorld and a coronavirus which is killing the Chinese consumption of anything conspicuous I called the AD in Lyon, France yesterday. Specifically to try and get a Hulk. He didn't have one, nor a regular Sub, nor a GMT in either of these versions above and anything else under about €15000. He also very politely said he couldn't take any orders at present and has nothing on back order coming through! So I asked him put my name down for a Hulk or the new version if they do one, or a base Subby non date as and when they appear. I don't expect to hear back from him.
Well clearly demand is going to be down right now, but that would only help you in getting one of the desirable Rolex's if the supply has not changed. Unfortunately though the pandemic may also be impacting production output and distribution as well. Many factories are shut now, is Rolex even still running through this? Who knows...
I have both batgirl and Pepsi now, Pepsi is 1000% better IMO.
If they are so successful why arent more people wearing them and an absurd amount of them are for sale on the secondary market for close to 2x the price? I feel like there is a very big supply chain problem for watches made mostly in a machine.
Pepsi is just pure class
What is the jubilee hidden clasp in the background? They never should’ve left the hidden clasp.
As he mentioned, thats the bracelet of the old 36mm Datejust, bought separately, it fits the old Batman.
Personally I don't like the hidden clasp. Looks too elegant if not feminine in my opinion. Plus the new clasp has the easy link extension.
The red on the Pepsi is dull because Rolex have to do a blue dial then paint over half of the bezel. It’s a limitation of Rolex
I owned the bat girl for 3 yrs., it didn’t do anything for me. I now have the new sub 9/2022 and the Pepsi also a 2022. Give me the Pepsi. Nothing wrong with the sub. I’ll keep it. However, the Pepsi with the oyster bracelet is my favourite. My first
GMT was a gift in 1967. After fifty five years on my wrist and seeing the blue and red bezel. It all comes down to. What do you like. The ford or Chevy? Both will take you cross country just fine.
Well said. Rolex has become nearly predictable now. I bought a GMT yesterday. I went for the Everose/Oystersteel. I felt a bit of urgency to grab it although it's probably the least popular sport watch in the entire Rolex line up. I love the jubilee bracelet but for this watch, for my style, the oyster is a better and more versetile choice. For me personally. Urgency because I believe this version will get the jubilee very soon if it stays in the line up which would surprise me. If it does stay, I expect that bracelet change and maybe a brown sunburst dial. Great vid! Cheers.
You missed where the case lugs are slimmer on the Pepsi
Good stuff. Sign me up for more such videos.
Great video 👍
And your wife is right, it IS the same watch 👍
Sure, if it’s the Batman then the movement and bracelet is different. But if compared to a car, you can buy the same car with different engines (equivalent to a watch’s movement). And it’s still the same car but with difference in engines. And the bracelet would be like a cars wheels. Put a GMT Master 2 on a NATO and it’s still a GMT Master 2.
And if compared to the Batgirl then it’s exactly the same watch, just with different paint 😉
Rolex makes great watches, they're simple and solid, but they're definitely not worth the price, both directly from the ad or on the grey market, they've become so well know and successful due to their marketing and this justified their price increases since the prices from the late 90s to early 2000s are what they're worth spending on.
finally I got it...couples of days ago~~ hhhhh
I wish the automobile industry would take its cue from Rolex, small improvements instead of new designs every 2 to 3 years. The only problem I see for Rolex is that waiting list. Every generation is more impatient than its predecessor; and, in the meantime, the design and quality of Rolex's competitors' gets better and better.
Porsche.
I came here after the ... the name escapes me, let me scroll back ...ah! That’s it the Tudor BB GMT ...Goodbye Tudor, and good luck!
Nice video Evan. If I hadn't just spent $10K on toilet paper I'd go out and grab one of these! :-D
Seriously though I love that Batman and those colors. I have never warmed up to the new Pepsi though. Both the red and blue just seem off and muted to me compared to the lovely colors of the older GMT's. As for me... I purchased a 16710 pre-ceramic GMT. I think the lugs just look so much better. Plus I can switch out the bezel as much as I like to different colors, but to be honest I guess I'm boring because I like the plain black.
Which one do you like better, Batman or Pepsi?
Batman. The red on the Pepsi just isn't quite right for me.
@@YoureTerrific I'm on "the list" for a Batman. I'm sure I'll get a call real soon....
so do this
Slow evolution? No. It's just simply marketing and business strategy. There's nothing evolutionary about the same watch with just a color change. If watch people would step out of a perspective of a watch enthusiast and just see the watches as they are without the saturation of the marketing schemes of the brands and companies, well you wouldn't worship every little thing Rolex does like it's bigger than what it is. You'd see things as is. Just a brilliant / smart business strategy and marketing of Rolex. Which resonates with the watch world. Because well elitism, exclusivity, luxury branding, expensive schemes are the only thing that keeps the mechanical watch world going. Which of course they had to do what they could to get through the hard times when the practical, more reliable and better in every way at a very low cost, quartz watches appeared. I love mechanical watches, but I'm just tired of most of the watch community worshiping every little thing Rolex and others do. Someone who have even a drop of sense in marketing / branding / design / watchmaking knows what's up. These watches and companies aren't priced by just pure craftsmanship, etc. Yes, they are amazing but if you just step outside the single vision watch enthusiasts' bubble, you'd see things as is. Without getting caught up in what they want you to think. Nothing against Rolex, etc. They have smart marketing ever since their early years, and single visioned consumers like you who get caught up in their marketing is what makes them able to just inflate their prices, limit their production, limit their new designs, limit their models, etc. I also have nothing against you sir. You have a nice channel. Please bear with me, I'm just a bit tired of over worshipping and seeing these watches as if they are mind blowing or at least like you said are some kind of "evolution", etc. They are simply smart marketing and branding.
drfdwf the Rolex complications? Change the bezel color 🤣🤣🤣
calm down...it's not that serious man. Rolex is a great brand that makes great watches, why does this bother you so much? "its only marketing" lol yes, as if every other brand doesnt engage in heavy marketing.....riiiiiiight, that's all it is. Gotcha
@@Dylan-xj8tb Man, I am calm and chill. Just dropped a comment to hopefully wake up some people and lessen the blind worshipping. I'm jut tired of this super overly dramatic descriptions of watch channels and persons, etc. You didn't get my point. I didn't say anything about how heavy or one of a kind their marketing is. I'm just saying.... A simple change of color (and other things) is simply their marketing strategy and not some evolutionary thing that should blow your mind or make you say crazy descriptions about it like how the narrator makes it.
Fully agree. Rolex, while an excellent Swiss manufacturer, somehow, somewhere became the only known luxury watch of worldwide buyers and most do not care nor realize there are other manufacturers with much longer histories. Rather simple, but such a clear illustration of herd behavior. A dynamic most will never acknowledge because ego serves as a primary if not sole motivation.
Did you buy the bracelet from Rolex?
Yes
@@YoureTerrific did you have to turn in to Rolex the original bracelet in order t
You buy a Rolex to make a statement. You buy a JDM Seiko, because you know about watches.
no, you buy seiko because some grown man that talks to his toy dinosaur tells you seiko is "pure class" and you bought into it. Once you have said seiko in hand and you see the misaligned chapter ring, broken bezel, and tin foil bracelet you realize you've been duped.
@@Dylan-xj8tb had no such issues with my SARB 033. Decent alternative to an Explorer for less than a 10th of the cost.
@@stan4097 it's not a decent alternative lol. A black bay 36 or a seamaster aqua terra are decent alternatives. A sarb033 is like 1 step above a daniel wellington or vincero
@@Dylan-xj8tb yawn fella. The price of a watch doesn't make it another watch's equivalent. Quit being a watch snob lol.
@@Dylan-xj8tb Daniel Wellington lmao
RIP Rolex, Digital watches more precise with a hundreds of fonctionalities have arrived
Nice video, but I am really tired of hearing about the Rolex "Pepsi."
ROOOOOOWWWLEEEECKS PHUKKERS!!!
Love the batman
Could watch this on mute just for the visuals 👌
For some reason, I like the oyster bracelet better☺️
rootbeer is far better looking, with bimetal .....wow
Agree!
2 tone root beer is the most sophisticated GMT Master. Batman and Pepsi are too childish))
Rootbeer is for Old Men
@@JC-dc9oz Ha ha.... I just bought one and with this comment I realize I made the right choice! ha ha....
Rootbeer is just another tt watch that screams for attention..
The watch market is about to see a huge market correction
Arnold Jenkins a lot of things will see market corrections.
About bloody time....
I wouldn't bet on it to be huge... not on steel Rolex models..
You’re right. It becomes even more difficult to put a hand on these hot models...
Overhyped!
Well, the Rolex quality is there and the mechanicals are sound, but that jubilee looks all wrong on a sports piece. Stick with fluted bezels Rolex, it just doesn’t work. Oyster all week long and twice on Sundays. But, if it floats your boat, happy sailing!
the Epster the GMT isn’t really a sports piece like the submariner or Daytona. It was made for pilots and (business) travelers and meant to be worn with a uniform or suit. That’s why the original came on a jubilee.
dstfno Rolex are not immune for getting it wrong. Just look at the YachtMaster II. No further questions your honour.
I wouldn't exactly say that it was quality that made rolex a luxury brand. There are tons of rolexes out there sold as new with scratches on the hands, uneven paint on the gmt hand, that is not what i call quality. Rolex is a tool watch, that if bought for a premium, then becomes a tool's watch
I don't like mechanical. It is not accurate.
In Toronto canada I buy a super super clone I bring it to a rolex expert he say it was real rolex . Unbelievable. Your super clone look just like mine. You a expert but a regular person like me will never know. Imagine on nkuwan
