Wow! What a great 2/5 watch comparison video! Incredibly in-depth. I’m in the process of trying to decide which bracelet to get on a Pepsi so this video was very apropos. Thanks!

Another great, extremely thorough review. Nicely done, sir! Side note: I came to own a 114060 after first collecting a BLNR and an Explorer 2 42mm Polar. The Sub fits my 7” wrist the best hands down. Glidelock’s definitely a factor BUT I’ve also noticed that the smaller contact area on the back of the Sub caseback actually lays better than the other two with wider flat slab backs. Food for thought.

What's that, a wimbledon dial? That is some vintage dial in that case. The only dials available from Rolex on the GMT 2 in Oystersteel (904L) these days are ... black. You have to buy a White gold GMT 2 for $43,000.00 to pick different dial Meteorite (white) or a blue dial (couple 100$ cheaper). THere is no steel green arrow with GMT II in green text dial anymore. This is vintage and discontinued. Are you talking about a Slate dial, AKA Wimbledon dial? I agree, that looks amazing. But it's only available on the Datejust these days. You could frankenmod your GMT 2 I guess but then it's no longer gen. Do you have a link or ref. for gmt2 with this dial you are talking about? I would very much like to see it. My Rolex collection is so large now; i have 6 different Rolex' including the GMT pepsi, 2 Subs: one vintage and one 116610, one Daytona white dial Panda, a Datejust and a Day-Date. The only thing i'm even remotely interested in adding to my Rolex collection now are vintage pieces that are extremely rare and give you the ultimate 50's and 60's look and feel.

Eirik Næss it’s not hard to figure out what he is referencing. He’s talking about the all black bezel GMT-Master II with the green GMT hand with the green “GMT-Master II” text on the the dial. Ref. 116710BKSO. It isn’t vintage but it was discontinued a couple years ago.

Great review. Good perspective. Thanks very much.

After having both in hand , I went with the BLNR jubilee (more versatile and elegant) it’s the perfect do everything go anywhere

There is no difference in the lugs externally however the lugs are drilled slightly differently to accept a thicker springbar for the Jubilee. Also just a note about how you place a watch down. If you lie it flat so that the clasp rubs the back of the case, you'll scratch the high polish on the case back. Hairlines here are a pita to polish out with a cape cod. I always place my watches on a cushion or on their side with the crown up.

Coming back to this vid again. Such a good comparison and still 2 of the hottest models!

This review was FANTASTIC. Thank you for that. One interesting thing to add, is that Rolex Oyster bracelets will NOT fit the new Pepsi. Unless you go aftermarket, you are stuck with the Jubilee it comes with. I have no idea why anyone would swap it anyway lol, but something to note :)

OCD Watch review, but hey, it’s a heavy burden to carry, and for myself, certainly provided me everything I needed to know before pulling the trigger on a Pepsi. Great content! Keep making great videos; nice job!

Great review/video. I agree. Pepsi is the better looking bezel for this particular watch and it's lineage. the Pepsi bezel starts in 1959, when the rare bakelite bezels were used. Up until 2007 aluminium Pepsi bezel inlays were used (optional, next to an all-black or black/red a.k.a 'Coke bezel').

Since both fitted with the jumping hour hand and the 24h bezel can offer an unbeatable performance. It's an easy choice.

I had to watch this as soon as I got the notification! Excellent comparison of the BLRO and BLNR. IMO the Batman would look much better with a brushed Oyster bracelet as it would hold up better over time. Since that isn’t the case, I would go with the BLRO and the Jubilee for comfort and durability. I did get both a Pepsi Steinhart 39 mm GMT and the Parnis Batman for Christmas this year, so the kind of scratch that itch. Both are very good, IMO. I did have an issue with the Parnis bracelet, however. It broke and the watch went flying off my wrist and landed on the asphalt in a parking lot. Fortunately, there was only one minor scuff on the outer flank. Other than that, it’s still running strong and it’s now on a leather strap for the winter.

Excellent video, Guy. I hope one day you get to own the Pepsi GMT. It’s a gem, at least on my phone screen. Sometimes meeting your heroes *does* pay off. The whole “availability” topic is interesting. A KZreadr once mentioned that an AD will get you the Rolex you want if: 1) You routinely spend a lot of money at the AD (i.e. VIP) or 2) They like you My theory is that customers getting the Pepsi on a routine basis happen to be VIP “flippers” doing “back room deals” with ADs. If that’s not the case, why can some customers pay $9200 for a Pepsi and others have to pay $18000 for a “pre-owned” one? Doesn’t make sense.

Isn't the Batman bracelet exactly like the Explorer I bracelet? (i.e, with just the Easylink extension)? Do you get the sense that you would have the same fit problems with the Batman as you did with the Explorer I?

I like the BLNR( Batman) more. For me the among the GMT watches, the BLNR represents it the most with Black part of bessel represents night time and Blue part representing day time. Also, I love shades of Blue changing depending on the lighting.

There’s nothing quite like the original 116710BLNR. The Pepsi is beautiful - especially in 18K white gold - and the LN with the green GMT hand is very sexy, too. However, as the very first bi-color ceramic bezel Rolex has EVER released, the Batman’s status and position in the pantheon of Rolex and haute horology is secure.

I have both the submariner and the Pepsi and a couple of other Rolex. Interesting thing about the Submariner, if I have to give up one Rolex from my collection I would choose Submariner. If I can only keep one from my collection, I would choose the Submariner too.

Great video! I went from being team batman to team pepsi (pictures really don't do justice for which one looks cooler "in the flesh" to me). Also, didn't realize the supercase of the GMT Master II's were slightly thinner than the Submariner's, and damn, I know its so slight, but side by side I really see a difference in size.

Greetings Guy.... I've never "loved" the BLNR as many folks do.....until I sat next to a nice sharp couple on a flight 6 months ago. The gentleman was wearing the BLNR and it looked GREAT with smart casual clothes. Yet I'm a believer that the man-makes-the-watch.....not the reverse. I generally don't care for colorful watches, but the BLRO caught my eye several years ago when introduced in white gold. So never owning a Jubilee in 40 years of wearing this brand, I bought the steel BLRO this Fall from my AD. When the Steel-Black/Red-GMT on Oyster Bracelet arrives this year at Baselworld, I'll buy that too...... I would only buy the BLNR with a new 3285 movement as well.... Thanks!

Another great video guy.

I own two of both (1 of each for me and 1 of each for my son--all from ADs, and I only waited a few weeks for each--not months or years) and, while I love both, I would have to go with the Pepsi for the following reasons: 1) The colors pop more whereas the Batman looks all black in the shadows (speaking of black, I also own the black GMT, which I like more than the Batman--love the green 24 hour hand and the green "GMT-Master II"...it's classic whereas the Batman is a bit of a "gimmick" to me), 2) The Pepsi is a historically significant, iconic, watch in the GMT line, 3) I see the GMT as being a bit more dressed up/business/travel related vs. the divers, so the jubilee is fitting and it really pops, 4) The jubilee also doesn't show scratches whereas the Batman does with its polished center links, and last, but certainly not least, 5) The movement: The 3285 in the Pepsi has a much longer power reserve (such that I can take it off on Friday afternoon and its still ticking and ready to go on Monday morning) and it also comes with high performance shock absorbers, so it has greater resistance to shock vs. the old 3186 found in the Batman). The Pepsi only costs $300 more retail (grey market is another story) and I only paid retail for all of my watches--all direct from ADs. My latest favorite, though, is my white dial ceramic Daytona. I got the call from my AD on that one last week and I will post a video of it soon.

It’s amazing to me that this dealer would lend these out to you, Guy. In theory, you’d think they would be bought and payed for before they ever physically hit the store. In any case, I prefer the Pepsi by far. It’s absolutely gorgeous and I’d take it over most any other contemporary Rolex watch.

Imo they both have their place (aesthetically, exclusivity aside). I could see going to a car meet in the pepsi, while I could see going to happy hour/cocktail party in the batman.

I agree with you on availability. I was offered both gmt models 2019 models within a couple of months and this is from a Rolex Boutique not even an AD.

I have a Batman and bought it at retail price. I'd love to add the Pepsi but never at a premium let alone at the current 3X retail

3x retail? No one, in there right mind, is paying that. You can find them for double or maybe just under double though.

For the most original design, go with the Pan Am Rolex Pepsi GMT Master II on jubilee, but who is to say you can't change the bezel and band on the Batman?
