Why I Hate The New Rolex Pepsi Oyster! - Rolex GMT Master II Review (126710)
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 09. 2024
- Why on earth would Rolex come out with yet another variation of the same watch! It seems to me that they are getting more and more predictable. It's not that I hate the way it looks don't get me wrong I love it. It's just that I do not understand the need for it. It totally killed the market of the white gold version. Most important is what happened to the Black bezel version. So now we are just not going to have a regular black version?? I really wish that They would have come out with a new Coke red and black bezel and not the new Batman and Pepsi. Just seems a bit predictable and boring.
Comment below what you think about the Pepsi Oyster!
Thank You for watching!

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.
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.
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.
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.
Exactly
Even the blue submariner looks close to a GMT BLNR at a distant. That’s why I like GMTs on jubilee
I can tell, but only because of the bracelet. Can’t tell by just looking at the face
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
Thank you!
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…
Lol💯😎🤷🏻♂️💪🏼
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
damn bro, congrats. oyster pepsi is my grail
You have waged war with the Jubilee Crew 🔥
Doubt it 😊
@@joshuat8450
Jubilee blows the oyster out of the water.
No comparison what so ever. Jubilee's are badazz!
@@estatehomes Couldn't agree more!
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.
Eric, you perfectly blend passion for watches and taking things not too seriously. I love it!
I appreciate your support
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 CZcams channels?
same
I own a 2021 SS Pepsi on jubilee and love it! The jubilee bracelet is crazy comfortable.
Jubilee ftw 🙌🏽
@@whitepony101 my man!
I’m in the market for one also. How long were you on waiting list?
@@mrlong6267 I bought my watch on secondary market,20k at time. Complete set. It’s a gorgeous piece. Hope you get your hands on one soon.
@@mrlong6267 now that watch is selling for 30k plus on grey market.
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~
Thank you man. I appreciate it like no other!
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.
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
I don't think Rolex made a mistake - they're pretty good about what they do, and there's so much hype with the brand, they can make no mistakes (even if they did).
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
Right out the gate - I started laughing. Great work Eric. I agree.
Glad to hear it!
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.
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.
Great suggestion! YES
I agree, the watch hobby is going at an unsustainable rate.
Thank you!😎
@@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?
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!
Hi Eric, i am a very proud owner of the white gold, black dial. Should i be pissed? No, not at all. Now it's really the ultimate stealth watch. I also THINK a big hit in the future...
Eric, the godfather of watch reviews
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
Bruh where are you😂
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…
top end intro., and a quick flash to almost 470 comments.... and a real pro to use the word..Hate ,,,new model rolex.... not going with the pandering ... nice work..!! and again.. once again.. youtube has taken notice since i watch ads...CHEERS to the PRODUCTION staff, and editing team at WATCH ERIC.. great job, nice slick...perfect...cool style
Thank you David. I appreciate it!
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.
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.
Great video Eric as always. I enjoy your thoughts and commentary. Also, congratulations on hitting 100k subscribers. 👊🏻
Thank you man. Much appreciated!
Coke GMT would hype up the entire market. People will go nuts. I’m waiting for a Coke as well.
It would be interesting to get a platinum GMT with a baby blue dial.
Oooooo. Platinum would be crazy
I can’t believe I never thought of this. Platinum ice blue gmt. You’re a genius bro. 🤩🤩👑
Totally get your point BUT the only white gold Pepsi for me is the Meteorite Dial which you can get in SS
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
Eric always speaks his mind. I love it.
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.
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 ?
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.
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.
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.
Much appreciated!
They should release the Coke in platinum.
Damn straight to platinum
Nice vid Eric , wish rolex bring out a 41mm hulk would be cool to see as they done it with the batman
That would be cool
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!
Lolol😂🤷🏻♂️😎
I wanted a white gold. But what do you get in exclusivity for the white gold now? I'm never getting it now. God.
Nobody tell Eric about all the changes to the New Explorer II. In all fairness though you raise absolute valid points in the "changes". Keep on telling it how it is. The watch community is far too precious at times.
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.
Great video brother couldnt had been said anybetter. Love the breakdown of watch companies affecting the grey market. I love your channel love the honesty keep killing it like you are and show these haters love elevates more than hate.
This is real deal content. Said it like a true watch guy! Loved this video.
Thank you Arthur
I think this is the first time I see Eric pissed! lol
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
Great video! I loved the blurred line between being sarcastic and all the way serious! Keep this style going when appropriate 😂
Hahahaha😂
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?
my dude has now hit his 100k ....... congrats. i been waiting for this ever since you had to start back from zero.
I prefer all the GMT II on jubilee. In August I requested the Batman on jubilee (the Bruce Wayne) and got it Oct 1st. Its awesome! I also want the Pepsi on jubilee, but if I don't get it, its ok cause I got the one I want the most.
Yea pepsi is the jubilee no doubt. And true who cares about the power reserve, I'd buy whichever one I got the deal on. That is more important to smart people
Me too
Well I now have a BLNR on jubilee and a BLRO on oyster.. Redundant maybe but I enjoy swapping out the bracelets from one to the other.. After all it’s not an investment it’s an expensive hobby..
Not sure 'necessary' and 'luxury watch' belongs in the same sentence. The Rolls-Royce Phantom is available in 17 colors, necessary?
The point of re-releasing the Batman was to disrupt the gray market, which your own disappoint kinda confirms.
Uhhh lol. That did not disrupt me at all. I sell both. The more the better
@@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.
Congrats on 100k Eric!!
Thanks!!
"Just wear your watch, who gives a shit''... of the millions of watch vlogs, comments etc, those words are the wisest and by far the best advice everyone should do practice.
Yes , even the safe queen crowd! Eric, love the passion man⌚
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.
Feels like an end of life too easy special so I'm concluding Rolex will redesign the GMT next year, slim down the lugs and move to 21mm bracelet in line with the Submariner, DJ41, Explorer II etc. If they don't update the watch next year then I'll be you will get your Coke in 2022 Eric as it's the only easy move they have left...
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.
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.
Well said!
Is the jubilee and oyster interchangeable on the new Pepsi?
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
Hey Eric great video but they really upset you with that braclet option!
Yes they do. lol
Do you prefer the Pepsi on the Jubilee then Eric?
Look at Eric getting another channel to 100k Subs. Congrats man! You did it again and even better it’s for your self this time! Keep it up love the content!!
Correct. ! Thank you man
If they release the coke will the vintage ones go up in value or down?
Bro you made it sound like they released a watch last week 🤣🤣
🤷🏻♂️😂
Rolex needs to team up with you, man. You're great!
Congrats on the 100K subs!! Keep up the dope content.
Thank you!!
Love your videos mate, honest opinion which is good to see. What's more impressive is how you stand on water for over 10 minutes!!!! Truly GOD TIER!!!
I’m with you Eric, which the Coke would have came out and I was fine with the Pepsi jubilee
Eric, great content as always. When would you do a fresh out of the gate review of the VC Overseas bro, preferably the 4500v or the new everest edition would be awesome.
Agree with the time setting mate. It’s not a big bother to me. Always a quartz watch if I’m in that much of a hurry.
Eric, and the worse thing is that it’s an oyster bracelet and “polished” just like the white gold , I though the polished links were exclusive for white gold . They could’ve done it like the submariner unpolished bracelet links and it could’ve been less bad I guess .
Hello Eric would you switch starbucks with the pepsi oyster?
Absolutely spot on Eric! This is the first sign down the dark path when a brand doesn't respect the collectors. Sure, the SS oyster bracelet Pepsi is more attainable, but what about the collector who purchased the white gold version, what would they think? This release on some level takes away the prestigiousness and uniqueness of the white gold version while leaving a sour taste to the white gold owner.
I hope Rolex can learn from Panerai's downfall and not make the same mistake.
I’ve personally found that I get fed up with the look of coloured bezels,so I think it’s best to stick to black.i
Eric unhinged! Love it, man.. Absolutely love it.
So agree about all black (green) and coke.. so agree about having oys batman and jub pepsi exclusively.. BUT.. I’ll tell u, after wearing original batman for 2 y, now new 41 sub, feels so much better that only coke in 41 case could further improve that!
Lets dream of that one, maestro!!! 💪🤞
Love the real message of this vid : dont fuckin get a GMT if you cant stand reset it 😂😂 nice job my man
Eric, now that i got my hands on a new 41mm Submariner I'm REALLY enjoying the extra real estate on the dial. My Batman now sits in the safe. It's not much but it does make a difference. The lugs are proper in proportion to the watch and "bracelet to watch proportion" is also proper. The 40mm Sub AND GMT are AND were a BIG MISTAKE IMHO. Rolex fukkin with the "appearance" of a larger watch was a HUGE mistake. The Submariner is fixed. Let's hope the GMT gets fixed too.
Eric, that is your opinion. In my opinion, someone who has an older reference number - when the new one comes to the market - will argue why his older reference is „better“ or „the same as the new“. Someone who has not jet bought a rolex will almost always choose the newest. yes, there is vintage market, but the prices on the grey market for older or newer reference numbers prove my point.
If the black and blue watch is called the Batman or Batgirl. Why isn’t the red and blue one called, the Superman or Supergirl.
Seems like a missed opportunity.
I agree with you Eric that was a bit much by Rolex and the price tag too.
I would love to have your POV on palm motif dials. No one is talking about them. We never see them. Unpopularity = future grail pieces?
Thank you for your great work here.
At 14 seconds: "I hate it" and 9 seconds later in this same video..."Well I don't actually hate it". Sigh. 10 wasted minutes.
GMT with an all black ceramic bezel with an "oyster flex" bracelet.
Uff
....all in the data....good or bad.." .easy and cheap move by..... "great quote by watch eric...the final statement is for your production and editing team, great job and keep up the amazing work, ......and props on the intro, and sound...!!! happy holidays!!
I think the blue white gold Pepsi is underrated. Best looking blue dial watch they make imo
Whats the difference between the black GMT and a sub? Apart from the green hand it looks the same
Polished center links. Different bezel writing
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?
100% on the mark! Great call Eric!!
and Yes - wear your watches!!!
Exactly!
On spot. Thank you for saying all of that. And yes, the all black is so underrated and should be resurrected.
Awsome Eric man thanks to you I bought my first panerai 10 years ago ;) long life to you hermano. Que de dios te cuide. Hugs from paris france 🇫🇷
hells yeah eric is the coolest watch youtuber anywhere!! just want buy the guy a beer and talk watches and cars haha!!
I dont even own a rolex...i want to one day though,, yo Watch Eric is the GUY!!
🤘🏾🎅🍻
Thing is, the Mark III pepsi has such a dark blue already that it's almost black.. too close for a coke to make sense
Congratulations on your 100,000 subscribers
Thank you very much!
Next question for WatchEric…was it a mistake having Explorer returning to 36mm??
Two tone yes
Congratulations on 100k subscribers
Thanks Joe
30k more (retail) is a reasonable amount to illicit hate, considering what it is and means for gray marketeers.
