Rolex GMT-Master II 16710
For me, a true GMT-Master has a Pepsi bezel. Black is for Submariners and black and dark red (Coke) is just because Rolex needed something else. I know, I know, the latter was introduced with the introduction of the GMT-Master II while the Pepsi bezel originally was for the GMT-Master (I). Still I prefer Pepsi, most probably as it is how I think of a GMT-Master when I close my eyes.
We all probably know that the red color of the Pepsi bezel tends to discolor over time. Many amateurs assume that a watch is only as valuable as the actual condition of it. In general, this assumption is correct, because if you have your watch serviced more often, you can also ask for higher prices. In the case of bezels and dials, however, the fading or the patina is not a defect in their beauty, it is rather a sign of the authenticity of the timepieces, which verifies them as vintage models. Collectors spend a lot of money on these models.
And that’s the original Pepsi bezels which were supplied by Rolex in the years between let’s say 2001 and early 2002.
It was the time of the lug holes in combination with a bracelet with solid end-links as well.
Not many GMT-Master II’s with Pepsi from these years are around however. The GMT-Master II at that time was standard supplied with a red and black bezel, or with a black bezel. The GMT-Master (I) wasn’t available any more, and so the Pepsi bezel wasn’t all too common.
I'm letting go of my valuable Grail.
