The GMT-Master II is among the top-selling models from Rolex, with the 126710 being the latest addition to the GMT family. Commonly referred to as the “Pepsi watch” due to its blue and red bi-color ceramic bezel, this timepiece commands prices up to 20,000 US Dollars in the market, attracting many watch enthusiasts. This highlights its significant popularity. In the replica watch industry, numerous factories produce replica Rolex GMT-Master watches, with BP, KS, DJ, GM, and Noob being the top five manufacturers known for their quality replicas. KS, DJ, and GM are newer factories that emerged at the end of 2018. Notably, GM is the only factory currently producing the GMT-Master II 126710 replica with 904L stainless steel, which is a major advantage for them. As of now, Noob has not released this replica, so if you are looking for the best version from Noob, you will need to wait a few months.
The case of the 126710 is constructed from solid 904L stainless steel, ensuring that the entire middle case is made from this durable material, which offers exceptional corrosion resistance. Regarding the bezel, the GM factory utilizes a genuine bi-color blue and red ceramic insert. The process of firing this bi-color ceramic is quite challenging, but GM has successfully researched the porcelain technology used in authentic watches to create a Pepsi ceramic bezel that appears more natural. Additionally, the 24-hour markers on the bezel are coated with platinum, closely matching the color of the genuine model.
All the details on the dial are flawlessly executed. The black dial features white round hour markers that enhance visibility. The red GMT hand matches the red color of the genuine watch. However, since this watch is powered by an Asia ETA 2836 movement, the hand stack is not entirely accurate, which may be the only imperfection you’ll notice on the dial. Nevertheless, the GMT hand functions precisely, just like the original GMT model.
The distinctive Jubilee bracelet is crafted from solid 904L stainless steel, with each link designed for flexibility. The three central links are polished, while the links on either side are brushed, making the bracelet look identical to the original in both brightness and texture. Additionally, the Asia ETA 2836 automatic movement housed within is the core of this replica watch, renowned for its reliability to the point where many watch enthusiasts refer to it as the pioneering movement in the replica watch industry. Alongside the blue/red 126710, the GM factory has also introduced the black/blue 126710BLNR.
