Rolex Pepsi GMT Discontinued
The stainless steel Rolex Pepsi GMT ref. 126710 BLRO, which debuted in 2018, has been the subject of rumors of discontinuation practically since its launch. So, seasoned Rolex nerds took any “the Rolex Pepsi GMT is discontinued” rumor with a grain of salt. But if finally happened, and as of April 13, 2026, the Pepsi GMT is gone from Rolex.com in all forms.
Is the Pepsi GMT Still on Rolex.com?
No. The Pepsi (meaning red/blue bezel insert) is gone from Rolex.com completely.
Is the White Gold Pepsi GMT Discontinued Too?
Yes, the white gold Rolex Pepsi (ref. 126719 BLRO) is discontinued too.
Why Would Rolex Discontinue the Pepsi?
Well, there have been credible rumors of Rolex Pepsi bezel production issues for years, and the gist of it is that making a true two-color piece of ceramic (not counting white or black as colors) is extremely difficult. The rejection rate of Pepsi bezel inserts is supposedly very high. So even though it’s one of the most popular Rolex watches, it might have been a big headache for them.
Plus, Rolex still has a few remaining bezel colorways of the GMT-Master II in their catalog, all half-black. And all with waiting lists.

Was told yesterday (2/3) by Kirk Freeport, the Rolex AD in Grand Cayman, that Rolex told them the Pepsi GMT is no longer in production.
