The first honest opinion I've seen for Rolex watches

This is some of the best content out there. We have to figure out how to get this guy a bigger subscriber base so he can keep producing these videos. The macro shots are even better than watchfinder!

The black gmt master II is my everyday watch. Bought it in 2005 and still looks brand new. Further the price I paid was $4500 in 2005. Its price on the used market is now $12k. Amazing.

Hypnotizing music, images and voice... I've already watched this video more than 10 times.

Eid Mubarak Hafiz !!! Awesome videos and content - superb camera work, crystal clear watch shots and soothing explanations! Thank you for all your videos !!

It really is. His macro is as good as Watchfinder. I’m American, and love Hafiz’s accent. In my top 5 favorite channels.

Always look forward to when you post your videos. Definitely my favorite horology-related YT-er. Keep it up!

Great video! As always the wrist shots like at 1:18 minutes in the video is perfect to get a feel of the watch. Way better than the too close “fish eye” wrist shots in other videos.

Really enjoying your work mate, awesome photography.

Love your content man. Subbed!

Keep 'em coming Hafiz, awesome content as always!

i have watched so many of your videos. tooo good honestly. please make more. the AP reviews are 🔥 🔥. and your close up shots are the BEST.

Love your content man!!

Your videos are getting better and better. Thank you for producing great content 👏

Wonderful videos- you deserve more credit mate!

Awesome as always 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼, Congrats in advance to the 10K subscribers 🎊👍🏼👌🏼

Great content! Subscribed!

Love your camera work and that Pepsi is so iconic 👍🏻

Hafiz you have put out another great video. I really love your videography and your commentary. Thanks for these, they really are great.

I watched almost all watch channels and this is the most honest channel who is telling the truth. I almost bought the Rolex OP39 after several experts recommended saying the choice for only one watch in your life time.

Outstanding watch. Other than Daytona Panda or the White Gold GMT or White Gold Panda (I have them). It’s a great watch. A tank !!!! Ever on Boston, NYC, Chattanooga or Miami look me up for dinner (when pandemic ends). Thank you again for an excellent KZread!! Nice video mate

Waiting for one, hopefully soon! 🙏🏽

Awesome (macro) footage once again, looking forward to my GMT II BLNR Jubilee (for retail). Enjoy your watches journey

Great review. I've had my blnr for a year and love the jubilee bracelet. It doesn't show the fine scratches like the mk1 with PCL's. I checked my GMT hand under a loupe and the blue paint is perfect. I was surprised by what you found, is Rolex relaxing it's quality control. Keep up the great work. Mark 👍

Love you´re reviews, although this is my grail watch I really enjoy the honesty you put in to your reviews!

I am impressed, most of your competitors doesn’t even know how to wear a watch proper on the wrist. I enjoy your content keep up the good work Hafiz

One if the best watch reviews I've seen. Great job and yes, great watch

Excellent videos!

Amazing video and content. Keep it up.

Love from srilanka 💥💥💥 Eid mubarak friends ❤❤❤

Mate, great video. Love seeing your work! Man I really really love the BLRO but the AD game is too strong with this one, if I dont spend hella money on em rubbish it's a 15 years 'waitlist' lmao, not sure I want it bad enough to pay market so admiring it is good enough for now.

Fantastic watch and a great, informative review of it

Great review of the Pepsi, the wait list is super long, this really puts the appeal in perspective. Great work as usual!

The watch fits you like a glove! Awesome review Hafiz.

Eid Mubarak. A great review, fantastic macro photography as always!! A good watch to purchase at retail unless you have deep pockets and want this watch!! Not worth the premium in my opinion! Keep up the great work buddy!!!

Really nice work. I’ve always thought the Pepsi was overrated. I own the CHNR Root beer which I feel is much more appealing. Again, great job

Amazing video!

This is one beautiful watch. Thank you for this amazing video.

What GMT watch offers a jumping local hour hand (true GMT) with a quick set date? It was noted as a negative in the video but I’m not sure such movement exists as he stated.

patek may have a solution for you

really really good videos. Stunned that Rolex seems a bit sloppy on some of the finishes, especially to the watches hands. And I do agree that being able to see the movement would be fantastic.

JLC Reverso Monoface is considered haute horology even without a clear case back.

Enjoyed the video, fair thoughtful comments. Rolex GMT is just...

Beautiful content. Keep it up.

stunning macros and balanced comments as always! as for premium it's just market forces. i do blame rolex for not meeting demands. i bought batman and hulk on grey market and love both watches. i couldn't get onto waitlist and didn't want to buy gold datejust, etc to acquire what i really wanted.

Agree. Mashallah Great video. I bought it at retail price and at that price point it’s a great buy.

Great video Hafiz

Awesome video man... if I have an option to choose new 2020 rolex sub green bezel vs gmt master 2 pepsi which one should I go for if both are available at retail?? Pls if ucan suggest

Great Video! I own this beautiful piece and I must say the price I paid is totally worth it! I also hate the fact that nowadays the premium is ridiculous, but with this timeless piece on my wrist, the premium is nothing if i hold it for decades.

Great video Awesome watch ! The best modern steel Rolex

Let the haters hate. A fantastic review for a fantastic watch. A new Omega PO black ceramic GMT costs around 11K. 7K in the preowned and grey market, but this is an overpriced watch at retail price?🤔🤦‍♂️😁.

Great video as always, you asked all the right questions and pointed out the obvious, that if you pay much more than retail for this watch, you paid too much. I am curious, between the TT Rootbeer and this watch, which is your favorite?

A very fair report on this watch 👍👍

Didn't know the Pepsi lacked a date quickset. Great review, thanks for sharing.

Not a fan of the GMT Master II, but the jubilee makes it looks so beautiful. Beautiful review 👍👍

I never choose a watch by brand but more so by quality material and movement, with that said I have a Tudor Pelagos. The movement has added one second the last two months. Of course I could just be lucky but I have never had a watch that accurate. Lovely Rolex btw.

Who on earth downvoted this video?? Hafiz, ignore the haters. This is the best watch channel on KZread!

Brutally honest review

The lack of lume in the bezel is something I would not have considered until watching this video. Great eye!

As always your videos are always a good reference when deciding for a watch. I’m still torn between Batman and Pepsi MK1/or new model.

Exactly right Sports Rolex in the gray market is crazy They are excellent tool watch but not a well manufactured one But because of its low msrp Its demand is still so high even with little premium Very smart marketing

The early run ceramic GMTs (2007-2009 or so) had very fine and delicate printing on the dial. On the newer ones (BLNR, BLRO) the text is thick and coarse and looks bad to me. Great content as always, thanks for the vid.

Do you think the text section of the dial, officially certified, superlative chronometers are uneven It seems the writing and the font size are uneven, this is also the case with cosmograph Daytona.

Honest review 👌🏻 👍🏻from India

Could you have review of the JLC master sector dial. I saw an article on Hodinkee and I think it may be the prettiest watch I’ve ever seen. Is this a limited edition? Why are there not more for sale on watch dealers pages?

no stock in Sydney and waiting list is closed. any tips to be able to purchase at retail cost?

So the question is: Do you buy a GMT master or a black bay with a navitimer and a speedmaster pro?

When Rolex decides not to show its movements its cause through its history Rolex has been able to show the craftsmanship of its watches like it or not. I love my GMT Pepsi

Hi, Hafiz! Congratulations on your excellent work. You deserve more and more subscribers. Have a nice weekend and keep on doing this great job!

Is it worth it?......For many the answer is no, and for many the answer is clearly yes. The value of a watch is rarely the sum of its parts and craftsmanship involved - sometimes more and sometimes less. It depends also on marketing, style, longevity, history, value retention and the desire of the consumer stoked by all these factors.

Beautiful watch Hafiz. If I had to pick though, I would take the Batman. Stay safe friend. 👍🏼

The grail. 👑

But sir the question is, would you buy it for 16 to 18K $ when you have options like Vacheron Constantin's Overseas, Lange, Jaeger-LeCoultre and many more.

Based on the colours and the superhero names. We have the hulk, we have the batman... I like to call this one the superman. Seriously the colours match. I also understand the Pepsi name but still, superman for the original is pretty cool!

Rolex probably doesn’t show the movement because many in their audience would find it silly to put glass on the underside of a watch:)

Hello 8:05 that finishing of red marker, my unit is perfectly done, why is hour unit like this? Maybe the unit you have is fake?

Fair review..fair RRP..ripoff market price..👍

Eid Mubarak, Hafiz. Is it worth the premium? Heck no. Can I wait forever? Heck no too!!!

Faiz Sani Salleh fair enough. I won’t pay so high premium just because I can’t wait. It’s a beautiful watch no doubt, just not at current grey price.

stunning watch, definitely not worth over retail.

i just have bought one GMT pepsi in Turkey for 200 usd :-)

Super Masterpiece however we can't get from Rolex AD............SAD!.................Many Thanks for all your contribution given

Would love to get this at retail,could not justify paying double the price on the grey market.

The GMT Pepsi with the meteorite dial is the best and most attractive Pepsi. Talk about putting a piece of outer space on your wrist.

Completely agree on bottom line: for the price there are so many absolutely great watches to be acquired!

Hey Hafiz, do you prefer the Batgirl or this Pepsi? Trying to decide between the two colours!

After handling both several times, the Batgirl is superior in that it's much easier to match with clothes, dresses up better due to less flashy colors and just appears more classy. Unless you're wearing a blue and red shirt as in this vid, the red is going to command too much attention and look out of place. I went with the batgirl and haven't looked back.

Fantastic honest review pointing out the weaknesses of the piece as well as the beauty - it is by no means perfect but I still want one! Your videography is superb. How do you get the watch to rotate under macro? Is it on a turntable?

nice watch

Wonderful review as always but a puerile title question question that always elicits an abundance of yes and no.

Why solid caseback ? Rolex values longevity, water & weather resistance > haute horology Remember that this is sports watch

The question you’re quoting ”why solid caseback” was my last sentence of the review. And your answer “it’s a sports watch” was my second last sentence. Thanks for watching.

Beautiful 🍹

It would be nice if you could go into an authorised dealer and buy one !!

Well to answer your question. Is it worth the price Rolex offers it for? YES! It’s arguably THE best modern Rolex to date, yeah even better than the Sub & Daytona. I say better than the Sub, because they didn’t go with the polarizing super oyster case on this GMT (many guys don’t like the fat lugs that the Sub has). Better than the Daytona because they made the Daytona too much of a luxury watch than a tool sport watch. No true panda dial, polish center links. The dial is too busy and defeats the purpose of a readable at a glance function. The dial is outdated, looks like a Daytona from 1985. The Rolex hit a home run with the Pepsi. They did it right this time. They know it and they are holding back. It’s improvements alone leave any collectible $100k plus GMT to shame. This Pepsi should help bring down prices on vintage because of the improvements Rolex made on the GMT. It makes and 4 digit GMT reference look like a cheap TIMEX. So why bother collecting the vintage or fuel the collector prices on old delicate GMTs. Now, is it worth grey market prices/double the price? HELL NO! This is still in production and historically the Pepsi wasn’t a difficult Rolex to find. It was common to see a few Pepsi GMT’s in every AD’s display cases. I remember seeing several for sale all the time 10-20 years ago. Even the white gold was very easy to find when it came out. If you NEED to get it now, have money to spend, and it won’t hurt your credit card/wallet. Then I guess? It’s your money. Personally if you have $18k $20k to spend w/out hesitation. That tells me 1) you only bought it because no one else has it 2) you are not a watch person but bought it because it’s expensive. 3) not to knowledgeable. For that price range you can afford to buy better more accurate more prestigious brands survival for your income lifestyle. Either way, your friends, social circle, or the general public won’t care or notice you wear a Pepsi. If you really can’t afford it but have the money? There’s a thin line between a sucker and someone who really wants this but knows how great of a watch this is. I’d say try hard to get one at an AD. Hangout and get to know a sales rep. You might be able to get one in a year. Usually after 5-7 years in production. Those hot Rolex references will be easier for an AD to get for you.
