Rolex GMT-Master II 116719 Review

The Rolex GMT-Master II 116719 model is produced by the leading Super Clone manufacturer workshops with a high-tech ceramic case, 40 mm diameter and high-precision automatic Super Clone movement architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

Why does Rolex use the name Pepsi? Rolex is the only expensive watch company that has not just one but two watches nicknamed "soda". Of course, we are talking about the Rolex GMT Master II watches with two-tone, split bezels. This review focuses on one of them, the 18k white gold ref 116719 BLRO model known as the "Pepsi" with its blue and red bezel, and if you own one of these watches "You've got the right thing, baby!"

One of the features that distinguishes the GMT Master II from the older GMT series is Rolex's implementation of the Cerachrom bezel insert. The advantage of this new bezel is that it is made of hardened ceramic material that is extremely scratch-resistant and has UV-repellent properties; so that the colors do not fade even with prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays.

While in the old days of watchmaking, bezels were made entirely of metal, there were obvious challenges for Rolex to develop this new ceramic material, and Rolex had to really think outside the box.

We can safely say that Rolex has never been accused of lacking creativity in production or lagging behind in innovation. Since the first day of their existence, they have consistently introduced new patents that have improved watchmaking.

Another good example of such innovation is the Rolex Easylink 5 mm extension link on the bracelet of this watch. This feature allows you to make a quick 5mm adjustment in the size of the bracelet to compensate for the natural expansion and contraction of the wrist with changes in temperature and humidity.

But you won't find any surprises under the hood of this Pepsi. The Rolex GMT Master II houses the reliable Superlative Chronometer movement under the hood of this beast. Rolex Caliber 3186, a 31-jewel movement, maintains its power for approximately 50 hours and operates at 28,800 VPH.

Rolex's two-tone bezels have been available for over fifty years. From the old Rolex Pepsi bezels to the "Coke" bezel (the red and black one) and the very popular black-and-blue bezel model of the GMT Master II. The latest addition to the soda-themed GMT Master II watches is the Rolex GMT Master II Rootbeer, which has brown and black bezels and cathedral-type hour and minute hands like the others. I think this is a tradition that will continue.

In addition to soda names, this watchmaker also has several watches with superhero names in their names; for example, Hulk with a green bezel (by the way, they could have called it Sprite Rolex or Mountain Dew...) and of course Batman with a blue-black bezel.

Rolex Pepsi Review: GMT Master II 116719 BLRO

Special Features and Technical Details of Pepsi Rolex GMT Master II 116719BLRO

The Rolex GMT Master II "Pepsi" watch features a GMT complication, also known as the dual time zone feature. Do you notice the red scorpion below? This is the GMT hour hand.This is a mechanism that allows you to see the time in two different time zones at the same time. It's perfect for those jet-set globetrotters who are constantly traveling to (and even calling) places in different time zones.

The Rolex Pepsi GMT Master II is a 40mm watch and features a patented "Triplock" crown that seals the case as tightly as a submarine hatch. This keeps the movement, the Rolex caliber 3186, well protected. The 31 jewel movement has an accuracy of +2/-2 seconds per day, which is an incredible value for a mechanical watch, and therefore bears the title of Superlative Chronometer.

One movement feature that contributes to the increased precision is the magnetic resistivity of Rolex's blue Parachrom mainspring and the use of a Breguet upper volute (also known as a Breguet spiral) that keeps the balance spring smooth and helps compensate for lateral shocks. Its purpose is similar to the patented Paraflex shock absorbers found in some of Rolex's other watches, such as the Datejust II with caliber 3136 movement.

Like a real Pepsi soda, the ref 116719BLRO is extremely sweet and no ordinary Rolex. It looks great on the wrist and has a unique appearance that will attract the attention of many. It has a solid structure and practical features; these include the date window with a cyclops magnifying lens on the date, as well as a GMT function.
