Replica Rolex watches are always the most popular models for fans, how much do you know about the Replica Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi Jubilee?
The jubilee bracelet on this GMT-Master II Pepsi has also experienced a redesign, removing the hard-edge end links from past versions in favor of appearing as though the bracelet runs straight into the case. It still uses a traditional spring bar setup for the connection, though we were sad to hear from the cheap replica Rolex communications team that owners can’t swap this bracelet to an Oyster bracelet, should they wish to. However, I’m sure Rolex has their reasons for this, and it does seem like a bit of a foolish move on their part.
In hand the new GMT-Master II Pepsi is rather hard not to love. Rolex’s jubilee bracelets are hands-down one of the most comfortable metal bracelets on the market, only rivaled by the integrated bracelet of the fake Patek Philippe Nautilus. The classic 5-link design remains true to the first jubilee bracelet produced by Rolex back in 1945 for the Oyster Perpetual Datejust, though refined to a modern standard. Compared with the vintage-era jubilee bracelets often seen on vintage GMT-Master models, the new version doesn’t have that same worn and floppy feel (something that is either loved or hated depending on personal preference), but given the shortness and configuration of its links the piece has a level of on-wrist compliance that simply has to be tried on to be appreciated.
As for other dial details, there’s a number of repurposing afoot, though not in a bad way. The deep black gloss dial of the GMT-Master II Pepsi is devoid of accent color in any of its text, meaning it’s the identical twin of the much loved GMT-Master II BLNR “Batman”, as well as of the white gold Pepsi GMT Rolex launched back in 2014. It’s always a bit of a surprise to see the distinct difference between stock imagery and actual product when it comes to colors on the topic of said bezel. In the stock photos the bezel of the new release appears to be fairly dark and muted, whereas in person they are a fair bit more vibrant and more notably more true-to-original spec of Pepsi bezel GMTs of the past.
Therefore, minor gripes aside—specifically the lack of compatibility of this new model with the standard Rolex Oyster bracelet—the new replica GMT-Master II Pepsi on jubilee bracelet is no doubt going to be another fake Rolex homerun. It still doesn’t satisfy the many who are still waiting for the Coke bezel to make its triumphant return, mind you, but this new “entry-level” Rolex was a smart move at the end of the day.
