About the Rolex GMT-Master II 126710BLRO

The Rolex GMT-Master II 126710BLRO is the current-generation stainless steel Pepsi, featuring the iconic red and blue Cerachrom ceramic bezel that traces its roots back to the original 1955 GMT-Master. If you are looking for a pre-owned Rolex 126710BLRO for sale, WatchGuys carries both the Jubilee and Oyster bracelet versions, each authenticated by our in-house watchmakers and backed by a 2-year warranty. The BLRO suffix stands for "Bleu Rouge" (blue red), referring to the two-tone bezel insert. This reference was introduced at Baselworld 2018 and marked the first time the ceramic Pepsi bezel became available in Oystersteel.

Rolex 126710BLRO Jubilee vs. Oyster

When the 126710BLRO debuted in 2018, it was offered exclusively on the five-link Jubilee bracelet (ref. 126710BLRO-0001). This was a departure from previous-generation GMT-Master II models, which had always been sold on the three-link Oyster. In 2021, Rolex added the Oyster bracelet option (ref. 126710BLRO-0002), giving buyers a sportier, more traditional tool-watch look. Both bracelets feature the Oysterclasp with Easylink comfort extension. On the secondary market, the Jubilee version typically trades at a slight premium, partly because it was the original configuration and partly because of its more refined appearance. Buyers who want the classic Pepsi aesthetic with a dressier feel tend to choose Jubilee, while those who prefer a sportier profile lean toward Oyster.

Rolex 126710BLRO Price

Pre-owned Rolex 126710BLRO prices depend on bracelet type, production year, and condition. As of early 2026, the Jubilee version generally trades between $22,000 and $27,000, with the Oyster slightly lower at $20,000 to $25,000. Unworn examples with complete sets command the highest prices. The retail price is approximately $10,700 on the Oyster bracelet and $10,900 on the Jubilee, meaning the 126710BLRO trades at more than double its retail price on the secondary market. Among stainless steel Rolex GMT-Master II models, the Rolex Pepsi consistently commands the highest premium.

Rolex 126710BLRO vs. 126710BLNR

The 126710BLRO and the Rolex 126710BLNR (the Rolex Batman) share the same 40mm Oystersteel case, Caliber 3285 movement, and bracelet options. The difference is the bezel color: red and blue for the BLRO, black and blue for the BLNR. The Pepsi carries a stronger historical connection to the original GMT-Master and typically trades $3,000 to $5,000 higher than the Batman on the secondary market. The BLNR offers a more understated look that works well as a daily wearer, while the BLRO makes a bolder statement. Both are part of the Rolex 126710 family, which also includes the Rolex 126710GRNR (Rolex Bruce Wayne). Collectors looking for a white gold Pepsi can explore the Rolex 126719BLRO, which offers the same bezel in 18k white gold with additional dial options.

  The Rolex 126710BLRO has traded at more than double its retail price on the secondary market since its release.
