Meteorite rolex6/23/2023 ![]() It was a cornerstone of the GMT collection until the mid-2000s when the Pepsi bezel was temporarily retired to make way for the updated 6-digit GMT-Master II generation. Although a number of other bezel colors have since been introduced, the Pepsi bezel remains one of the most iconic and sought-after. Initially developed as a tool watch for pilots, the red and blue insert mirrors the Pan Am Company’s colors (along with the attitude indicator on airplanes at the time). The Rolex GMT-Master debuted in 1955 with a red and blue “Pepsi” bezel, featuring a split-color insert that has since become one of the defining characteristics of Rolex’s legendary pilot’s watch. – Retail Price: $38,250 (Blue Dial) $39,900 (Meteorite Dial)Ĭlick here for our Ultimate Buying Guide on the Rolex GMT-Master II. – Water Resistance: 100 meters / 330 Feet – Crystal: Sapphire (Flat w/ Cyclops Lens) – Bezel: Bidirectional, Red and Blue Cerachrom Insert w/ 24-Hour Scale – Dial: Midnight Blue or Meteorite w/ Luminous Hour Markers – Functions: Time w/ Running Seconds, Date Display, GMT Functionality How Much is the Rolex GMT-Master II 126719BLRO?.Rolex Pepsi GMT-Master II 116719BLRO vs.I have over 21 years of 100% positive feedback on eBay. We guarantee 100% satisfaction and offer a 1 year warranty with all of our watches. The 18k solid white gold 126710BLRO MT Pepsi sells for over $60,000, so with our watch you get a luxurious look for a fraction of the cost. There is an over-saturation of aftermarket ceramic bezels out there and they are nothing like ours ours are absolutely perfect and we guarantee that. These ceramic bezel inserts have even fooled watchmakers with over 20+ years of experience and countless other people. These ceramic bezel inserts have perfect color, the switch between the colors at 3 and 9 is perfect, they are perfectly calibrated to fit seamlessly into the existing bezel and we even use platinum spray (like Rolex does) in the numbers compared to white paint. I use superior quality replacement ceramic bezel inserts in my watches that took me over 4 years to get perfect. We also high-polish the center links of the bracelet like Rolex does on their white gold watches. What I’ve done here is take a stainless steel GMT Master II 116710 and I replaced the bezel insert with my perfect superior quality replacement Coke ceramic insert and used a dial refinished in meteorite. So, I decided to combine these two looks to make this perfectly unique piece. Rolex does make the meteorite dial and it can be seen on the 126719BLROMT Pepsi. They made the Coke 16710 but they have never made the Coke with a ceramic bezel like we have here. ![]() The number one thing that is cool about this watch is that Rolex doesn’t even make it. Seller Comments: “This watch is absolutely amazing. The watch comes with the original factory parts/bezel. This watch comes with the original box, warranty card, booklets and green hang tag from Rolex. This watch is pre-owned and in mint condition. The dial is refinished in meteorite and looks like the meteorite dial that is made for the 126719BLRO MT. This watch has a superior quality replacement “Coke'' ceramic bezel insert.
