Rolex launched several luxury watches recently, including this GMT Master II Pepsi and it features a new dark blue dial. Blue/red bezel is classic Pepsi style, but I only saw such type of bezel on those vintage Rolex GMT Master watches. Now, the new blue dial just echoes with the blue color on the bezel. The dial is blue, instead of black, while this makes the watch have modern sense. Therefore, I want to say that this new GMT Master II is just an art fusion of vintage and modern design. The replica watch is a moderate quality watch, it was just made by an unknown factory, also it has a big advantage, that is it is sold at a very cheap price, just like some Rolex watches published by BP factory, which are sold at low prices but have a better quality as well. 
The case is 40mm in diameter, and it is brushed on front face while polished on sides and edges. One piece of 316L stainless steel is molded to the case profile of Rolex GMT Master 116719BLRO, it is 1:1 molded according to original, the case diameter and thickness are totally the same as genuine, and the case parts could be interchanged with genuine watch. The bezel is my favorite bi-color bezel, and we also call it Pepsi because there are red and blue colors. However, the bezel on this watch does not use ceramic, and it is just a normal metal bezel.
The dial is in blue, all hour markers and hands are applied luminous material, which will emit blue light in the dark. There is a GMT hand in red with a silver arrow tip in the center, the GMT hand is real, and it works the same way as that on genuine Rolex GMT Master. Inner bezel features correct Rolex Rehaut engravings. The replica Rolex has a date function, a window displaying date is positioned at 3 o’clock, and the white background is very obvious in blue dial, so you can read the date clearly from the dial.
Eventually, it is the movement inside, which is an Asian ETA 2836 automatic, the Chinese movement is modified to outlook of golden ETA 2836 movement, it provides real GMT function to the replica watch, time and date are very accurate as well. Today, there are many super clone movements in our market, but as far as I am concerned, they are not as stable as this famous clone ETA 2836.

Luxury Replica Paul Newman’s Important Figures in Watch History
Paul Newman is famous for many things in every aspect. He’s an icon — an award-winning actor best known for his work in movies like The Color of Money, The Hustler, The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and more. He was even popular for his salad dressings, and his passion for race car driving. But for all this man did, only one thing is a Rolex named after him.
When the replica Rolex first introduced the Daytona, a fake watch inspired by racecar drivers and named after the well-known Florida track, it wasn’t a big hit. Back in the day, the watch sold for a couple hundred bucks, and the face didn’t resonate with the general public.
Then, Paul Newman was spotted wearing one. The world-famous actor was also into racecar driving, and for that, the Daytona served a purpose. Soon, watch retailers all over the world were able to sell dusty Daytona’s off their shelves by calling them Rolex’s ‘Paul Newman’ watch.
Today, it’s one of the most recognizable replica watches in the world. Although, it is important to note that Daytona stands for a line of high-performance luxury timepieces, not a single model. There are three distinct series, the first being the smallest and beginning in 1963 and lasting through the 1980’s. During the first series, all models were given a four-digit model number and featured a manual-wind movement. This is also the most important series because so few were made. Besides, this is the original Daytona that Newman made famous.
The second series is categorized as the generation after Newman made it a hit. Today, we’re in the third series with self-winding chronograph functions and a six-digit model number. Although the first series are amongst the rarest and most expensive replica watches to date, the second and third series are further proof that Newman’s stamp of approval is all this watch needed to catapult it to stardom.
Another way you can tell if it’s an original Newman Daytona is if the domed crystals are made of acrylic. The sub-dials also have block markers instead of the more modern lines, and each sub-dial also has crosshairs placed on them.
This original was available with both black and white dials, but you can see here, Newman preferred the black. You can also see the very detailed, beautiful red that reads out ‘Daytona’ stretched across the sub-dial above six o’clock. There’s even that rare, nice red in the outer minute track.
The replica watch was originally gifted to Newman by his wife, Joanne Woodward, and on the back you’ll read, “Drive Carefully, Me.” clearly inscribed. Eventually, you it can’t go without mentioning that this watch sat on Newman’s wrist for decades. Just imagine all that watch has seen and done.
