The way Rolex works is mysterious. Some people find it annoying and deviant, while others tirelessly experience its charms. I myself slowly changed from the former to the latter. All of this is to say that when Rolex has something new – anything – I ask myself, “why is Rolex doing this?”Speaking of the subject of this article, replica Rolex GMT-Master II 126719BLRO Pepsi with a meteorite dial, I think I’ve found it at first glance.
When the first 21st century Rolex Pepsi GMT debuted in 2014, owning a Rolex watch was out of reach for me, and I was nonetheless very excited about this release. I remember being on the edge of my seat and seeing the first official Rolex video of this watch drop.
Last year, fake Rolex dropped the bomb by launching the steel-version Pepsi, sold exclusively on the five-link Jubilee bracelet to differentiate the steel variant from the much more expensive all-white-gold watch for which customers had been shelling out considerable sums for several years. Many would agree that public outrage has abated, but the truth is that even on Jubilee, steel Pepsi is a very tempting and appealing proposition for many in Pepsi’s current lineup.
2019 witnessed that steel Rolex GMT Pepsi untouched, while the 40mm-wide, 18k white-gold version got an expectedly well-received meteorite dial option that is, naturally, not configurable for any other version, just the 18k white gold GMT-Master II 126719BLRO reference.
I say this because most all specially engineered aspects of Rolex watches are somehow explained by the brand sooner or later. That is because Rolex replica dedicates tremendous effort to solving problems and answering questions many other manufacturers gloss over. For its beautifully gem-set watches, Rolex dedicates special attention to praising its in-house gemological know-how. What I can say is that if you feel like owning a meteorite dial Rolex, you have but a handful of other options too: Currently in production are the Day-Date 40 (in all-white gold) and the Pearlmaster 34 and, surprisingly, the Datejust 31 in steel, with an 18k white gold bezel.
It seems there is nothing else to be added to the meteorite dial option on the Rolex GMT-Master II 126719BLRO Pepsi, other than the fact that it joins an objectively narrow circle of unique Rolex replica watches to have ever been factory-fitted with a dial of extraterrestrial origin, and that it remains one of only a handful of components that Rolex is proud to use, yet has absolutely nothing to say about.
It’s worth noting that my friend and our senior editor bilal reminded me of the return of the blue dial of 18ct for the Gmt-master II Pepsi – on the oyster bracelet, of course. Now, 2019 will see the return of the amazing fake watch, albeit with a small crown added at 6 o ‘clock – a nuance that suggests the new 3285 calibers, updated internally, exceeds 2018 3186. Still, platinum-free Pepsi could be a collectible in wine decades from now, but the market has tried to price that premium.
