It's awesome but so is the Pepsi Black Bay GMT and at less that 1/2 the price!
Thanks for the heads up. That is nice

Tudor Black Bay GMT is the HIT watch of Basel so far for me馃榾. In-house movement with vintage looking case and a true Pepsi red, not the awful pink on the Rolex GMT 2 Pepsi.

At that price point Tudor is a very serious contender. I like the new GMT-Master II too but not sure if it's better than my BLNR...

The new Pepsi GMT is nice, but I think the BLNR is unique and a better modern look. However, I do LOVE the jubilee, it's the quintessential Rolex look....it'll be hot seller for sure.

Does anyone notice the Rolex coronet in between the "Swiss Made" in the new GMT?
A Nifty touch!

I would be happily wear the new SS Pepsi GMT II.

Anyone else throw up when they saw this new Daytona? My vocabulary of foul language is too limited to accurately describe this gaudy piece of trash...

Based on availability of the BLNR I鈥檇 be quietly optimistic that it won鈥檛 be too hard to get ahold of around a year out...

Are you talking about grey markets? At ADs the availability of the BLNR is like zero and waiting lists are 1 year up... that is not what I would consider "not too hard to get".

That is indeed a really cool design. Prefer an Oyster like bracelet on a sports watch... Jubilee is for datejusts and day-dates 馃榾

What a value proposition, and a home run on overall execution:
- thin and simple bezel (not big and chunky like ceramics)
- Pepsi colours
- simple bracelet (very Oyster-ish)
- date window without Cyclops
- GMT function

hmmm....
