This ones a previous reference, so it has the same specs as the 116710 GMT. Older movement, lower pr and on the dial there isn’t a coronet between Swiss and Made. Also the bezel colours are older versions so slightly different shade.
If you wear it , it’s jewelry. You really don’t need a watch, since we have a phone to tell time, date , pretty much everything. Everything in life can be called an art form or art.

OMG that thing is so beautiful. In my humble opinion, forget Nautilus, forget Royal Oak, keep your megabucks Daytonas-- for straight up wrist candy, this watch kicks them all in the ass. I can't afford one though lol.
Definitely so but it can crash as hard as well and there’s no material value safety net to break the fall too. I think precious is a safer bet but ofcourse less ROI
If you pay retail, stainless steel price is very safe. It retails at $9500 on oyster bracelet and sells in the gray market for $22k. I think that’s very safe!
Side by side take this white gold, stainless oyster and a platinum oyster only offered on the platinum Daytona and you will see that the plat and SS look almost identical, while the white gold looks greyish. Ditto on the platinum day date 40 president bracelet. The platinum Rolex uses is 95% pure with a touch of nichel and palladium.
Having a white gold Pepsi is like having sexy underwear. Nobody knows but you know - and you have that extra air of confidence at least for me. IMO even a steel Pepsi is a piece of jewelry in addition to being a sport watch.
Awesome video and well said dude. Also correct me if I’m wrong, but this bezel was also a much lighter shade of blue vs the newer ones which also gives it its own sense of “uniqueness”
Thanks Rohan! Yes indeed that's a really interesting detail about the bezel, you're absolutely right! I forgot about that. If you look closely in one of the macro shots I think you can see a little bleeding of red into the blue as well where the crystal meets the bezel. Interesting as it shows the difficulty in making the red blue bezel too. So unique, like you said!
I see my watches more as tools than art, they’re dependable and dictate what you do day in and day out, they’ll always be there when you look down, and the workmanship needs to be great to withstand what you throw at it, however, That all goes out the window when there’s an intricate and dressed up movement ;p… awesome video, keep up the amazing work, always look forward to your uploads :)
I love that perspective. Thinking about it, even I truly consider a watch to be something more delicate when there’s a visible well decorated movement. Thanks again for the lovely comment mate. :)
Platinum is darker material?!! I do believe is the brightest on the 3 whites , !! You need to check this out again ! Nothing like a platinum watch believe me
Rather nice to see your video suggesting 10% of my views :) great video BTW I saw this the other week. Waiting on my next. What are you hoping fo get next?
@@StandardTime thank you. Appreciate the support Hopefully I live up to the standards set by you guys such great content out there makes me quite humbled :) good luck with the ming.... #looksupvases lol
Nice watch. These can be had relatively cheap. Rolex relative that is. Mark up is light compared to anything else really. That said, I enjoy the luxurious feeling the weight of gold gives you. But funny about that, for me, it makes the watch FEEL more like jewelry if not look so in the case of white gold. But I'm going steel jubilee every time for a Pepsi or Coke....
Rolex relative is a good phrase. Like you I love the weight, if they were both retail I’d go steel ofcourse but state of the market as is, the “Rolex relative” value proposition is just too strong with the white gold.
Great video. I like your take on watches as art, and possibly not "jewelry." Someday I will get a stainless steel and blue background Pepsi Rolex. But I am confused on numbers. And new or used. Do people frown on Everest rubber bands on a Pepsi. Is that tacky or practical.
Thanks. If you wanted to wear it a lot, used would make more sense. Everest make cool straps for the GMT Masters. It’s all up to how you like the watch on your wrist, no wrong move.
Perhaps this isn’t a question for me to ask, but…to 99.9% of the folks out there - they won’t be able to differentiate between a stainless steel watch and a white gold watch. Why pay extra?
Good question. I think the watch is for a wealthy person that likes to be relatively discreet. In hand the watches have a completely different weight and it’s very discernible to the wearer. Additionally, gold will always at least have its intrinsic worth so there’s that.
First off, jewelry Vs art is worthless discussion. Jewelry can be considered works of art just as easily. Second, saying white gold looks more like stainless steel Vs platinum is flat out wrong. It’s totally the other way around. White gold either throws off a slightly yellow hue or grey. Platinum is sure silver stainless color. The best thing about the Pepsi in white gold is the oyster bracelet. It’s a very sporty watch and the jubilee bracelet just doesn’t match the watch as well. But now for 2021, the Pepsi will also come on a stainless steel oyster, as will the Batman, Vs batgirl. The mew stainless steel Pepsi on oyster bracelet with black dial and red GMT hand is the way to go, and at $9,000 will be the winner of the GMT line for this year and next.
Regarding jewelery vs art: to a watch guy jewelry is inferior to watches so the art vs jewelry discussion is useful in my opinion. Regarding the colour of WG, I didn’t experience that to be the case. To me, white gold was very lustrous and had a bright sheen. I really appreciated the luster. Platinum on the other hand I found pretty dark grey and muted. Like you said, I much prefer the oyster bracelet on the Pepsi as well but now the steel one has that too so doesn’t matter as much I guess.
For the longest time I felt the same about oyster>jubilee. I still think the oyster suits the GMT master lineup the best! But I tried on a jubilee, and wow is it comfortable! Thanks!
Give me stainless steel everytime, no need for precious metals in a watch, may as well have the bloody thing framed and hung on the wall, wearing outside hardly the safest place to be, plus I bet the thing scratches easier than 901 L . Shows that Rolex really do simply pander to the those with more more than sense!!
It’s absolutely not. This is the 116719 blro, first one to launch in white gold. They’ve revised the colours a few times over the years. Learn about the differences first.
The New Standard Time Nato Straps : standardtime.myshopify.com/collections/all
Does The batman gmt master 2 had a white gold version too in 2013 ?
Or in which year they made batman in white gold ?
No unfortunately they didn't make a white gold one with the batman configuration
So this model is the white gold version of the new 2021 Pepsi oystersteel?
Is the only difference the metal? Or are there other differences?
This ones a previous reference, so it has the same specs as the 116710 GMT. Older movement, lower pr and on the dial there isn’t a coronet between Swiss and Made. Also the bezel colours are older versions so slightly different shade.
The material of the new 2021 Pepsi is Oystersteel not white gold, I’m not sure why you’re saying it’s a white gold watch ?
I agree with your position on precious metal used in watches. I have a Deep Sea and would be afraid to wear it if it was solid gold.
I love a proper purpose built watch like the Deepsea! Great choice on that!
OMG what is the price of this bad guy
Is the bezel blue and red or pink and lilac ?
Ahah I guess that’s up to interpretation
@@StandardTime Maybe I should check my eyes 😂
GMT II on that band, Pepsi or black is the one I want next. Nothing else will do.
Solid choices!
Great review of - by far - my favorite Rolex watch!
Thanks! It’s one of my absolute faves as well :)
The bezel colours gives it away. If you know what to look for, you know it’s white gold.
That’s true, you’ve gotta be eagle eyed!
Where?
Great watch, but I prefer the darker subdued shades of blue and red on the newer "mark 2/mark 3" SS pepsi
Yeah they went through a few revisions on the colour. I’m not sure which I would pick :)
If you wear it , it’s jewelry. You really don’t need a watch, since we have a phone to tell time, date , pretty much everything. Everything in life can be called an art form or art.

Even if u can afford it u can’t get it.
Stainless steel appreciates much more than gold. More room to run.

Cool I’ll take the one with meteorite dial 😀
Yes I got my white gold midnight blue 3 days ago! 🔥🔥🔥 So rare! And it is a solid investment in 5 years!
Having a white gold Pepsi is like having sexy underwear. Nobody knows but you know - and you have that extra air of confidence at least for me. IMO even a steel Pepsi is a piece of jewelry in addition to being a sport watch.
That’s true, it’s discreetly incredible :)
Great review, proper stealth wealth ;)
Thanks Eric! I really appreciate you watching the videos. Exactly, stealth wealth indeed :) Simply a level above gold itself.
the jewelry, art, luxury watch venn diagram has so much overlapping territory...but I totally get what you mean
Yes indeed! There’s hardly a legitimate practical use for watches so it’s fully up to interpretation now

Question? Where is the crown between Swiss made!!?
That was introduced later on the 12xxxx series. It’s one of the small differentiating factors on the dial between 11xxxx and 12xxxx watches.
@@StandardTime apologies, title said 2021
good call on this as a sleeper
Thanks Michael!
Platinum is darker material?!!
I do believe is the brightest on the 3 whites , !!
You need to check this out again !
Nothing like a platinum watch believe me
For some reason I felt the Platinum Daytona seemed darker. Perhaps I do have to have another look.
I had the Daytona in the three finish’s and the platinum is the brightest one ! Try to check the platinum Daytona in flash!
Will do
I thought he was mistaking platinum with titanium, which definitely is a darker shade of grey

PCLs for the white gold models and Non-PCLs for the steel models. problem solved

@@StandardTime aaaah yes. I see. 22k for steel...35ish for white gold. Pepsi man... its a lust epidemic...ha ha
It looks like the new steel Pepsi on the oyster but a lot more money ,
Yeah. But not that much more than you'd expect actually, if you look at the market value and not retail.
@@StandardTime £7550 for the steel
That’s my next target. 👍
Solid! Cheers

Absolutely no point in this reference any more)) SS is the way to go.
