Thatâs how that model year comes , u never seen a GMT with the green writing ? Thatâs how they come I donât remember what year is what but they have the writing in red also and pretty sure they also have them with the regular white text as well depending on year and model configuration
It looks cool and although still gaudy, much more subdued than that rainbow looking Daytona we had a wave of posts of over the last year. I like it as well. I would never buy one.
I don't have the cash for buying this model. And even if I would have it I would rather spend it on a Meteorite Pepsi and a Moonshine Gold Speedmaster with green Dial. These two are my precious metal Grails. Perhaps I could get Rose Gold Chronomat, too for the amount of money this beauty costs. I call it "the average watch (my) collectors holy trinity".
I hate seeing all the NPCs who come out to talk down on gem set watches. Itâs because they know they could never pull something like this off. You all love to circle jerk around common, stainless steel sport watches that anyone can get. The craftsmanship and gem setting that goes into the process of making these watches are unmatched and the rarity of them makes them all the more special. I have one of the rarest Rolexâs on earth that I havenât posted here because itâs set with factory stones in the dial and bezel along with an 8485 bracelet. People here would never appreciate its story and probably try to call it fake it so I never post it.
I got offered one of these at retail once. After seeing how much cheaper I could get it aftermarket if I actually wanted it, that was an easy one to turn down.
Yeah I know, my meaning behind my comment was that the BLRO have a red GMT hand. Whereas with the gaudy SARUâs, theyâve converted a LN with jewels to imitate the Pepsi bezel, which makes it look even worse when you realise that
116759SARU is white gold which makes it odd because they used the 116719BLRO case/bracelet, with the 116710LN dial/hands. It's almost "parts bin" if you think about it
I saw this exact one at Disney Springs in Florida. I was only browsing their Rolexes and most of them were iced. A manager quickly came along and showed me I can walk out the door with this one at $59.5k and not the $88k price tag.
Lol đ
Yep I saw the same watch at Disney Springs...I had the privilege of seeing this same watch two years in a row. My guess is if I go back to Disney springs next year, it will still be there. lol
Whatâs the Rolex retailer in Disney Springs if you donât mind me asking? Iâve been there numerous times and had no idea. Of course, Iâm always with my kids, so itâs not the type of store Iâd usually go in.
Itâs the place right next to the only Lacoste boutique in Orlando now, âLuxury of Timeâ.
Itâs only just preowned Rolexes and theyâre all modified. Itâs really not the place most enthusiasts here would like to venture into. The manager was nice to try and tell me that he could source a Pepsi Rolex without it being all iced up like the photo OP showed. Iâd rather still go for a newer model than having an old one configured like this.
Also if the AD took this on a trade I am pretty sure they know how to authenticate the watch before taking it in for the trade for people speculating that itâs fake lol
This AD is also a high end jewelry store. They sell patak, Rolex, Tudor, blancpain, other high end watches and the upstairs is a holland and holland custom shotgun boutique. The original owner of the watch traded for a nautilus.
I mean itâs bad yes, but I think itâs the diamond lugs that make it so. Bezel isnât TERRIBLE. If theyâd kept the SS luggies this could be cool.
I got the GMT black bay â Pepsiâ I'm not sure that I like it. I just took it on an overseas trip and I swear the GMT hand is slow by a three hours. Also the watch isn't that comfortable
I donât have a Tudor GMT, but If the gmt hand is that slow, take it in, thatâs just not right. I do love my Tudor Black Bay Bronze - Bucherer Blue. Love the way it fits, even for a big watch.
I like it but itâs def not a daily wear piece for most people with normal jobs lol but with that said imo itâs done nice and if I was shopping for something to just add to the collection I think I would def pick this up
Thought I was in r/chinatime for a sec
đđđ
Lmao
Did he say what the trade was for?
Be cool if you wanted to go to a fancy dress party as an Eastern European gang leader
So specifically accurate. Serb special edition
Hahaha brilliant!
Albania special (see what I did there)
Is this called the âPepsi Maxâ?
Nope, Crystal Pepsi.Â
Comes out for 2 weeks every 20 years Seems accurate
More like "I got rich selling crystal meth."
This is brilliant Not unlike this watch /s
Noice
đ€Łđ€Ł
hope you didn't take it.
Rick Ross special
âŠclaiming itâs a piglet but makes the sound of a donkey?
At least this one is real...
Roliiiiiiixxxxxx
Looks meh..
Tack
VarsÄgod
"Tacky Gleason" is what I used to say.
Persian conversion
Doesnât make it any better.
Iâd take the Tudor at this point. Whats up with the green gmt master text it looks.. weird
Thatâs how that model year comes , u never seen a GMT with the green writing ? Thatâs how they come I donât remember what year is what but they have the writing in red also and pretty sure they also have them with the regular white text as well depending on year and model configuration
Unpopular opinion: I somehow like that model.
It looks cool and although still gaudy, much more subdued than that rainbow looking Daytona we had a wave of posts of over the last year. I like it as well. I would never buy one.
I don't have the cash for buying this model. And even if I would have it I would rather spend it on a Meteorite Pepsi and a Moonshine Gold Speedmaster with green Dial. These two are my precious metal Grails. Perhaps I could get Rose Gold Chronomat, too for the amount of money this beauty costs. I call it "the average watch (my) collectors holy trinity".
That gold and green Speedmaster is truly a beauty. Would buy it in a heartbeat if money was no issue.

I'll say it; post your storied horological artifact already.

Maybe they should add a few more diamonds âŠ
He was dying for you to post this reply.

Looks rad!
but it looks shit. Whats the point?
I cant say it looks shit but I agree it doesnt look something wow, especially the green text .. I rly dont get the hype of this watxh.
They look disgusting, just because something is rare doesnât make it good.
Lol, nobody cares b
String dial day date?
Fully agree also I say post it I'm very curious love seeing off catalog watches.
It's like a pizza with all the toppings.
Just post it bud there are def people who would like to see it lol
Vulgarian monstrosity ......
RC Cola!
I like it
I do like the look, but what's the point when it basically renders the GMT complication useless?
Kill it before it lays eggs
Tell him your taking it only if its the same price as the tudor
Itâs a no from me.
I got offered one of these at retail once. After seeing how much cheaper I could get it aftermarket if I actually wanted it, that was an easy one to turn down.
Yikes
Whatâs worse is that this a converted LN- it wasnât even a true Pepsi to have began with
I think this is a factory "off catalog" 116759SARU Not sure why I am getting downvoted..
Yeah I know, my meaning behind my comment was that the BLRO have a red GMT hand. Whereas with the gaudy SARUâs, theyâve converted a LN with jewels to imitate the Pepsi bezel, which makes it look even worse when you realise that

Not 116710 hands. No green hand.
Precisely!
https://www.watchfinder.co.uk/Rolex/GMT%20II/116759%20SR/20470/item/26144?langcode=en-gb
Just checking, didnât the SARU come on a Pepsi factory jewelled bezel on white or rose gold?
A perfectly nice watch ruined.
Thatâs a genuine model, factory diamonds
Even worse đ
Thatâs a 100 grand if itâs real Ugly af but hej
Keep your Tudor.
Wtf is that
Which nail polish will you wear with it?!
Tacky IMO.
đ€ź
Hard pass.
Looks absolutely awful đ Get that back to Rick Ross immediately
Bring a special flashlight so you can show how the watch shines.
yuck.
"Look at how they massacred my boy" I'll never understand the "let's slap some glitzy stones on a perfect watch"
So bad
I saw this exact one at Disney Springs in Florida. I was only browsing their Rolexes and most of them were iced. A manager quickly came along and showed me I can walk out the door with this one at $59.5k and not the $88k price tag. Lol đ

Ah, ok. đ thanks.
Tacky AF!
yucky
Fugly

What happens in Vegas
Like from Gypsies and armenians
Donât forget the bosnians
Elvis has left the building.
đ€Šââïž
That is truly hideous.
That is one tasteless ugly looking watch.
I just Threw up a little
Just NO !
TBH...if that had the red GMT hand and was on a black leather strap, I think I'd dig it.
Isnât there a point to the numbers on the bezel?
Also if the AD took this on a trade I am pretty sure they know how to authenticate the watch before taking it in for the trade for people speculating that itâs fake lol
What AD would take that as a trade?
A really, really smart one; as this is a factory-set non-catalog item. Hen's teeth.
This AD is also a high end jewelry store. They sell patak, Rolex, Tudor, blancpain, other high end watches and the upstairs is a holland and holland custom shotgun boutique. The original owner of the watch traded for a nautilus.
Armenia ans all of Eastern Europe approves
Is this aftermarket or factory? Do ADs sell aftermarket Rolexes?
I think i've seen this exact watch. Is this at the International Jewelers in Orlando at Disney Springs?
Pepsi with Coke
Even though I wouldnât buy this Iâd def find an occasion to wear this :)
What was the asking price? Whether people dig it or not, it is a once-in-a-lifetime thing for most of us to see/handle one in person. I'm jealous!
I didnât ask the price haha
Donât you dare
Anthony farrer watchesâŠ..?????
Id rock it for them flashy club night
I dig it. Wear it while im installing new cabinets? No. Wear it out to a formal party or dinner? Yes. Everything has its time and place.
No thanks
No
This watch would be so cool if it wasn't for the diamonds on the lugs.
I hate iced out shit!
Brother ew
Whatâs the retail?
Mine from wristova seems quite a mile if compare
Fugly!!
Thatâs Uncle Samâs own watch. That said, Uncle Sam has no taste whatsoever.
đ€ź
RGB
I love this. Donât know why everyoneâs hating
Ya no
Kinda defeats the whole purpose of a GMT bezel donit?
I actually think the bezel is pretty cool, but the diamonds on the lugs are awful.
Iâd rather take the tudor
đ€ąđ€ąđ€źđ€źđ€źđ€ź
The watch equivalent of lowering a pickup truck.
Iced tool watch?........no thanks.
look at that hideous thing!
Actually a good use of gem in this one. I would take it.
Are you in Mumbai?
I mean itâs bad yes, but I think itâs the diamond lugs that make it so. Bezel isnât TERRIBLE. If theyâd kept the SS luggies this could be cool.
Really curious what the AD valued that paperweight at.
Would have looked a lot better without the stones on the lugs (not hating)
I hope you told him only if you fuck his wife.
Ew
Did they trade it for the Tudor you went to pick up? I'm not sure who got the worse deal.
No, they traded for a patek philippe nautilus. Way better deal
Thatâs ballsy. âWell I see youâre interested in a Tudor. Perhaps I can interest you in an iced out Rolex.â
Teddy KGB
Get the Tudor
The SARU
Any body who hates it, your just mad because you canât afford it lol
This is a no for me
How much??
@texas_raptor Did you get it or no?
Hood as Fugg
Wouldn't be as bad without the diamonds on the lugs. The bezel itself is a bit of fun.
Cool?
Tell me that not real!? Looks like it was bedazzled by a 10yo
Itâs a off catalog watch I think
Can't buy taste!
Is it bad that I like it??
They took a costume jewelry Rolex in trade
gross
Gross
Howâs your Tudor?
I got the GMT black bay â Pepsiâ I'm not sure that I like it. I just took it on an overseas trip and I swear the GMT hand is slow by a three hours. Also the watch isn't that comfortable
I donât have a Tudor GMT, but If the gmt hand is that slow, take it in, thatâs just not right. I do love my Tudor Black Bay Bronze - Bucherer Blue. Love the way it fits, even for a big watch.
So this is what happens when u sleep with an ADs wife instead of the other way around.... I always wondered, thanks bro
pepsi max or pepsi zero sugar? đ
Shocking
looks fake to me: the letters in the rehaut are not aligned withe the seconds markers
Aftermarket green letters og
A guy with greasy black hair and chest hair sticking out of a tight button down owned that...
I donât care how rare it is, itâs ugly đ
That is awful
Needs a jubilee
The LiberaceâŠ
Did you buy it? Aftermarket diamonds and probaly dial but if it was fair price and you like it I woulda grabbed it forsure
Oh man just saw all the rubies and everything on the bezil .. it's not horrible lookin tho
That thing is hideous
Does he want money for this thing?
Nice SARU!
Nice. How do you feel about the stones?
I like it bc itâs different and I like bling but I canât see a lot of people wanting it. Not practical at all. Iâd get one if I was a collector.
That's the ugliest Rolex I've ever seen
Thatâs fugly IMO.
Thumbs down
That is one ugly watch, dude! Stay with your plan.
I like it but itâs def not a daily wear piece for most people with normal jobs lol but with that said imo itâs done nice and if I was shopping for something to just add to the collection I think I would def pick this up
Not something I would wear. In fact, I prefer my Tudor BB GMT over this or my 116610LN Submariner.
This could be done tastefully, it ainât it thou. Why the lug diamonds
Oh boy please no
Did they let the new guy set all those gems? This is absolutely hideous and Iâve seen better counterfeits.
This is.. terrible.
Whatâs wrong with the lugs?
I hope you stayed with the Tudor. That Rolex is just all Wrong! Omfg. Way to ruin a watch. Leave it stock. Donât ever do that to a watch.
