So, I started this little project a few months back. I’ve always been a bit of a watch guy, and the Rolex GMT-Master II with the Pepsi bezel? That’s been a dream watch for a while. But, you know, the real deal is way out of my budget. So, I thought, why not try getting a high-quality replica?
I started digging around, reading forums, and checking out different replica makers. It’s a bit of a minefield out there, to be honest. Lots of questionable stuff. I finally settled on a maker that had some decent reviews, Noob factory. Their GMT Master II BLRO had very obvious bezel lip.
The ordering process was, well, an experience. It’s not like ordering from Amazon, let me tell you. But after a few weeks, the package arrived. Opening it up was a bit nerve-wracking. Did I just waste a bunch of money?
The Moment of Truth
But, I gotta say, I was pretty impressed when I saw it. The watch felt solid, it had a good weight to it. They used stainless steel, which is what the real Rolexes are made from. The bezel was ceramic, and the colors were vibrant.
The red and blue, it’s supposed to mimic the Pepsi logo, right? I compared it to pictures of the original online, and it looked pretty spot on.
I wore it around for a few days, just to see how it felt. Honestly, it felt great on the wrist. I even got a few compliments on it, which was a nice bonus. It’s the partially lighting, the first gen bezel was light-red but now it has deep red color.
- First, The weight and overall feel are really close to the original.
- Second, The details, like the markings on the dial and the bezel, are super sharp.
- Third, The movement seems to be keeping good time so far.
After months of hard working, I think this high imitation Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi bezel was a pretty good purchase. I mean, it’s not the real thing, but it’s a solid watch that looks and feels great. It’s definitely scratched that itch for a Pepsi Rolex, at least for now. And hey, it’s a good conversation starter, too!
