GMT Master II "Pepsi" 2014 edition BP factory review

Recommended Posts

Yelow69

I too just ordered this watch. Happy to see your bezel at 18 is correct a few I have seen have the red dissecting the the 8 of 1800 in the middle. Once I receive mine I will post an update. Does the bezel look to be removable/ interchangeable for different color bezels?

Looks like all the other rollie rep bezels to me, so I would say yes ;)

i like to do that when i get QC pics or a M2M sales pic to see how accurate the dial is.

 

this one looks pretty good. obvious tell is the GMT hand being the wrong color but aside from that, the dial is almost perfect.

 

the bezel markings on gen is a bit bigger but really not noticeable unless sitting next to a gen.

 

I think the GMT hand's problem is not the colour, but the thickness: the gen is much, much thinner.

As per the bezel markings, a known problem, also for the Sub: the Gen ones are deeper and larger.

 

But, at the end of the day, for a 29.800 Euros difference, that's completely acceptable ;)

That's interesting. According to this site http://clockmaker.com.au/rolex_case_size.html

the thickness of a gen GMT II is 12,4 millimiters. According to the TD I bought the watch from, the BP's GMT II is 13 millimeters, a difference of 0,6 millimiter. Not a big deal. How thick is yours? Thanks.

not a bad rep.

 

did a little overlay animation with a gen.

you can see the markings are slightly off but the rest is spot on.

1st frame is rep and it fades to gen.

yeah, the bezel is hard to get exact on the pepsi, thats why i have not bought one...;(

Is this blue white bezel insert available as non OEM? Or let's say REP?

 

 

Beautiful watch.

A little time has passed since you asked, but yes it is. You can pick them up from WSO on eBay.

Thank you! This is exactly the watch I’ve been hunting for, and your detailed pics of it have sold me on going for it! Well, 95% sold as I’d greatly prefer a more gen-like bezel, like the Noob V2 LN. But since it doesn’t seem like anyone’s been working on a newer BLRO, this one will have to do until then!

 

Thanks again for the review!
