    Nice video. Walked into an AD the other day and after a short conversation with the salesperson he told me he was going to make me a customer for life and brought out a brand new Pepsi from the back room. $9700 I bought it and still can believe it. What a great day!

Now the funny thing, it takes me much longer to make videos the way I'm doing this than it used to take me back when I started and did 30-60 minute long videos. Go figure, much shorter but much higher quality videos are much more time consuming to produce.

    Hi guy , great to see you back again. I've never really got the GMT function unless your a business traveller. Asphectally the extra hand on the dial is a little unnerving for me. I've always thought the pepsi dial was great , like on the seiko pogue ,skx, turtles etc as well as the now new tudor models and the rolex, but the extra hand on the higher end models just don't do it for me. Make a sub with a pepsi bezel and jubilee band but no gmt hand and I'm in. That said the pogue was really unique with the gold face. One of the most iconic looks on a watch, that seiko did. Can you imagine if rolex had done that , be worth a pretty penny today for sure. I do believe it won't be long before seiko do a rework of the pogue, and I'm guessing it will be a smash hit like the 62mas reimaginings, that's as long as they keep their prices sensible.

    What a great review!!! For over a decade my grail watch was the Rolex Deepsea Seadweller, and many times I came very close to having the money to purchase it. Well earlier this year I was able to purchase the latest version albeit with the classic black dial that I prefer. I wasn’t able to find the James Cameron version and it didn’t matter anyways. I wanted a super thick watch with a super thick sapphire crystal that was also water resistant and the Deepsea Seadweller delivered and then some. Plus the née model offers 70hrs of power reserve

    While I'm more of a Submariner guy, myself, the GMT-Master II is indeed a wonderful watch. I don't know which bracelet I'd go for, through, the Jubilee or the classic Oyster bracelet. That would be a tough one. I guess I'd prefer it on an all-brushed Submariner bracelet with Glidelock clasp. That would be perfect. #inkdial

    I agree. Although I like the oyster on the Rootie, the jubilee rocks on this watch and the Bat. I think you need to have the right fit to appreciate easy link. I use mine fairly often now that I've perfected the fit of my watches (by losing my covid 15). I wouldn't trade it for the bulkier sub clasp on the Root or Exp1. I'm holding out for the Coke comeback but how can you argue with this Pepsi. Perfect. Awesome that you have this relationship with these guys. Cheers

    This is an excellent video and you touched on a point that is key to me with Rolex sports watches. The Glidelock vs Easy Link Clasps. I have owned Rolex watches with both and Glidelock is far superior. You can get that perfect fit and still have the opportunity to make a small adjustment. As you stated, Easy Link for the most part is useless as it is to big an adjustment. Which brings me to my question. Do you think Rolex will add the Glidelock to the new Explorer 2 which will be seen on April 7 , and if not, why does Rolex persist in not adding it to their watches as most other companies are heading in that direction. Thanks for your videos. Stephen
