Congrats! Beautiful piece. Glad you went for it and emjoy with good health.

A really well done video. In fact I watched it twice. I’ve been wearing GMTs for over half a century. My main watch today is a 2022 Pepsi on a oyster bracelet Since that is what came on my first GMT. My 2022 sub I bought from my AD in town. At the moment the sub is on the watch winder. My main everyday watch is the Pepsi. My AD said when the Daytona in stainless comes in, we will call you. The AD did call me when the sub came in. I’m pretty confident in saying. Your GMT was maybe been worn briefly by the owner of the store. Then they had to think fast when they were asked about the extra links. When a person may have waited their entire life for a Rolex. The kids are gone, the house is paid for. Finally the day has come and the AD just rang. The customer doesn’t run home and unbox the watch. Then throw the warranty card and box away. So when you see a Rolex that is even a few yrs old with no warranty card or box. That is a huge huge red flag. How many times has the watch changed hands. WALK AWAY. There will be more watches with honest dealers. Like me, you are very passionate about your Pepsi. Don’t ever ever sell that watch.

Very happy for you, great watch

Congratulations on landing a Pepsi SWG! An absolute all time classic watch! I’m sure it smarts a bit paying the premium these highly desirable watches go for on the grey market but from what I understand you’d easily pay the difference (and probably much more) buying watches you don’t really want from an AD to just be given the opportunity to put your name on a waiting list to maybe one day get the watch you want! Now you’ve got the awesome watch you want on your wrist, no waiting, no games. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it once you’ve had some time with it.

Congrats! A genuine Rolex for a genuine guy. Thanks for sharing some of your deliberations and negotiations, very relatable. 😊

Well done, you did it exactly as I would have, great video sir

Great purchase lovely watch congrats on that absolute stunner

Congrats my friend, it's definitely a beauty. Enjoy.

Good on you! Enjoy it for many years 🤞

Congratulations !

This is THE Rolex! Congrats!

Stunner Nigel.

what's makes you choose the jubilee bracelet over oyster ?

Well done Sir. Beautiful watch. Wear in good health.

What a fantastic and unexpected story about the stores and online. The attitude from some A.D's is unreal. Some act as if they own Rolex and you need to bow in their presence, and others treat everyone with such respect. Alas the latter is getting less and less. Great video.

Wat a great watch I’m glad u got it and glad to c u once more will u b considering another watch in near future or will u b holding back for a while great video 👍

This one has been on my radar for a long time. My AD did get me a Sprite but that made me want the Pepsi more. (Watch guys are weird.) Rather than a long wait I got one second hand as the recent price decreases have brought it down to what I could stand to pay. It’s amazing. Love it. Put it under a UV light and see what happens!

Congratulations on the Pepsi. Some very great points made during the video 👏

Great watch. Njoy sir

Good choice with the bracelet, this watch is nothing but class 👌🏻

Congrats wear it in good health ✌️

Congrats on your Pepsie!! I totally agree with not participating with AD relationship building! For me, the Grey market works just fine. One secret with buying "used" in the Grey market is that this is where many of the "relationship building" watches end up. Perhaps you can't get a brand new Rolex at a discount, however, you can certainly get brand new Omega, Tudor, Panerai, Zenith, etc.. on the Grey market. Literally, they've never been worn! Saps buying into the AD "relationship building" buy new watches and flip them immediately to the Grey market at a loss. I picked up several watches at substantial discounts this way..all with warranty cards dated only months old!

well done. Beautiful watch and great buy from a good independent dealer.

Well done Nigel .. beautiful💎👌🏾

When you were unboxing the GMT the outer box didn't look right. On the lid there should be an embossed Rolex crown (logo) and the box part (not the lid) should be hinged for easy access. There should also be an outer sleeve which slips over the outer box (yes, I know).

❤ enjoy your watch with good health

Gratulations! 🥂 A beautiful amazing Watch! I personally prefer the Batgirl 💙🦇💙 on Jubilee, but yes enjoy your new beauty 💯✌️

Many watch collectors have spent, $100,000 plus! Just to get the Pepsi, wait 2 plus years! You saved considerable amount of time, plus life’s short! Enjoy with Health, prosperity, and congratulations!

Well done great video ive got the Tudor GMT and love it to bit the rolex is out of my League 🤣🤣🤣

Nice video Nigel, you are a genuine watch lover! Agree with you, never pay watches you don't want, just to build a relationship with an AD. I'd rather pay a premium at my grey market dealer friend and walk out of the shop with the watch I desire.

Beautiful watch 👍👍👍

Congrats.

my AD finally had some actual watches for folks to try on, not buy, and i tried on the pepsi. previously i thought it always looked cartoonish in some pictures. the colors were too bright, but i was surprised how subdued the blue and red were on the wrist. i immediately expressed my interest in the watch.........fingers crossed!

Watch collectors is David Khalil. A well known you tuber. Good guy. Awesome piece man. You have to pay grey market price to get the watch the watch you want. It’s shit but the way it is unless you wanna spend three times as much on stuff you don’t want.

Is this the mk1 or mk2 or mk3 or mk4?

Whats the rolex you wear the most?

Congratulations on that acquisition! Lovely watch, I suppose you won’t need the Tudor one now…you know if you want to donate it…to me 😜

Congratulations Nigel, this GMT is beautiful, one of my favorite Great choice 👍😉 nicolaswatches

Congratulations again Nigel. That's truly a lovely watch. Great tips, and I would have done the same if in your position. Enjoy your collection in good health my dear friend 🙏👍🙌👏

Are watch collectors Happy with you mentioning about the 'not going through Chrono' part? Genuine question they may not be bothered, but it may be something they don't want advertised?? If you aren't planning on using them again clearly not a problem...just a thought! Fantastic watch, very jealous 😊

I can’t believe you have been asked to buy again even after you did. Only very few ADs out there stay true to customer friendly policies.

Congrats on your grail watch,your right not to go down the route of buying watches you don't want,I'm sure what you've paid for the GMT adds up to lees than the AD would have tried to get out of you before possibly getting the GMT at retail🤦🏻‍♂️👍🏻

Nice watch. Must admit I preferred your collection before the Rolex/Tudor splurges. You always seemed to grab really different and interesting pieces before, whereas these are pretty ubiquitous. But health to enjoy it mate - and no need to ever apologise for having the funds to make such purchases!

Watch collectors is David Khalil, he has a KZfaq channel. Great guy to do business with. His KZfaq channel is good too and very informative, congratulations

its beautiful...I own the Steinhart GMT not due to lack of budget but my Mrs has given me a limit and 20K is not on her to do list. I lost the submariner, purchased a Steinhart BUT keep the wife. lol.

Nice but I wonder when will this stop, the price is unrealistic for a SS watch.

Really tired of hearing about the Rolex "Pepsi" from EVERY Rolex reviewer on YT. I do enjoy your other content.

I wish I had a rich and pretty wife so that I could be a kept husband, you're living the life I daresay sir! Absolutly stunning watch. I agree on the rolex AD relationship scam, leaves a sour taste in my mouth and I feel its unbecoming a dealer of anything really. If anyone asked me to build a relationship by buying overpriced watches before buying the overpriced watch that I wanted I would turn on my heel in an instant. The watch is fantastic though, and don't mind me saying its overpriced, I would still love to be able to buy one hahaha. thats the rolex curse I guess

Am not interested in any kind of rolexes I happened to try them, it felt larger than I thought bulky and screaming pretentious,, my dream watch is navitimer 41 with val.7750. The 43mm too large and B01 is exclusive movement so breitling will ask arm and leg service

Watchfinder are a joke, well overpriced!! Good to see your excitement about getting the Pepsi GMT. Your the type of person Rolex should be selling to because you wouldn’t flip the watch, you can see you love the watch. This is why the hobby is all wrong at the moment!! Enjoy the watch 👍👌

I own both a 1675 pepsi, and a 16710 black bezel GMT. I bought a Batman last year, and because of the sheer heft and additional dimensions, I just couldn't get on with it. I particularly hated the disproportionately wide lugs. It seems as though the GMT has become a kind of Submariner by proxy. Actually, this current GMT line is bigger than the original Sea Dweller, never mind Submariner. I also think, one of the reasons people are gravitating towards Tudor, apart from the obvious price difference, is their concerted nod to the classic Oyster range of yesteryear. To me, The GMT is suffering with something commensurate with it's years, middle age spread. Either way, it's definitely become far removed from it's original inception, that of an aviation watch. Sorry, don't like it!
