If given the choice at MSRP between the VTNR on Jubilee or the GMT Meteorite white gold pepsi, which are you choosing?

I like the Pepsi Meteorite more aesthetically but I would wear it way less and it is 3x the price of the VTNR. I like both for being different and outside of the normal Rolex mold.

Meteorite, the VTNR is the weird one, right?

I wouldn’t take a VTNR even if below retail.

If money is no option then my GMT wouldn't be Rolex.

GMT Meteorite! I still love it !

Meteorite

Not a fan of meteorite dials. I’ll take the weird one

they're both weird odd ball releases in my opinion. but that's why I like them both

White gold GMT!

daysky1 · 26 July 2024, 04:09 AM

GMT Meteorite white gold pepsi

t65tampa · 26 July 2024, 04:43 AM

126719 BLRO w/ dark blue dial is tied with the 126718 GRNR on jubilee as my favorite GMT Master IIs.

Between your two, I'd go with the BLRO in white gold with meteorite dial. Not my favorite, but beautiful. The lefty GMT Master II has never attracted me.

espanol · 26 July 2024, 04:51 AM

All a matter of preference

But since you asked, lefty GMT to me is about my least favorite Rolex ever produced. Zero historical provenance behind the color way, zero logic behind green/black representing "night and day," and struck me as lazy for Rolex to merely change a bezel to something so... random. It even seems to merely have been a byproduct of the green hype train that was a year or two ago

Meteorite is interesting but expensive

Neither. For a GMT I’d go five digit or older if money is no issue. The modern GMTs look horrible. The new Tudor 58 GMT is actually a serious consideration for me. They hit it out of the park with the design.

KatGirl · 26 July 2024, 05:44 AM

Neither! I’d rather a BLNR, than either of those.

JRell · 26 July 2024, 10:40 AM

Couldn’t do either - BLNR for me! If the VTNR had the same configuration as the BLNR that would be closer. Also needs a jubilee for me.

The meteorite - The "weird" look is soooo 2023

GMT Meteorite white gold pepsi.

Wcdhtwn · 26 July 2024, 11:16 AM

The meteorite. The date at 9 on the VTNR is a deal breaker for me.

Bazil · 26 July 2024, 11:50 AM

I have the weird one and I’m more than happy with it ..
Meteorite is lovely, and surely that lump they bought will run out soon …

That’s my choice as well.

Meteorite Pepsi’s are stunning and unique, the ultimate Pepsi you can’t get better, although I like the lefty sprite too because it is different and the colors pop.
Go with meteorite they are rare and one of a kind.

Ferrari-F430 · 26 July 2024, 07:02 PM

I mean, the Pepsi is THE Rolex to have IMO, and the solid gold bracelet and Meteorite dial is a dream watch for me (and most I talk to that are watch aficionados).

The VTNR is a fantastic watch also, but honestly, how does it compare to the Gold Pepsi for me when it comes to ownership and/or wearing it out on my wrist? Not even close.

I know this doesn't help, but I'd like to have both.. but if it's just one... Solid Gold Pepsi all the way.
