Low 20's where it will be in a few years, yes it's worth it. Mid 30's not to me....

Out of my price range, but if I could afford it, there are several others I would buy over this.
But this is a personal preference. |

I think I prefer stainless steel as a rule of thumb though I do see myself saving for a Day Date II in precious metal at some point. If there is any sports watch (other than the Yatchmaster) that looks good in gold, it's the GMT Master. I dislike Rolex's method of incentive spending by putting the coolest looking bezel on the most expensive model variant but it will motivate people to reach deeper into their pockets. I would have liked to see the BLNR in white gold (offering a new variant) while sticking to a Coke/Pepsi/Black bezeled choice that most Rolex lovers were hoping for. I don't see this making it into my collection but it sure did turn out well for what it is.

Love the fact Rolex have acknowledged a classic from their history, hate the fact they polished the bracelet.
This version not for me. A ceramic bezel, steel cased Pepsi GMT I would buy in a heart beat. |

Somehow a vintage SS Pepsi seems "cooler," although this new WG version appears to have been well executed.

Just does not do it for me - prefer the older Pepsis but each to his own!

Definitely in. Considering consolidating my collection/accumulation and adding WG Sub and WG GMT to compliment my WG DD for my only 3 Rolex.

I'll probably snag one when I win the lotto. Guess I better buy a ticket.

As for the OP: I'm still not taken by the ceramic bezel numeral font with the maxi dial of the ceramic GMTs whether they black, BLNR or the new Pepsi. I have a 16710 Pepsi and am quite content with it for now. But as we all know, things can change once seen in the flesh.

Very inexpensive if you are among the first.
