Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi vs Batman vs Root Beer — Which Sells for More in 2026?

MARYLEBONE, U.K. - Aug. 6, 2026 - PRLog -- If you're trying to work out which GMT-Master II colourway holds its value best, the Batman generally sells for the most on the used market in 2026, followed by the Pepsi, with the Root Beer trailing behind despite being the rarest of the three.

The Batman's black and blue ceramic bezel has outsold the other two for a few years running, largely because demand at retail still outstrips supply, pushing buyers towards the secondary market. Bezel condition matters most here a chipped Cerachrom insert on the edge of a numeral can knock a noticeable amount off an offer even when the rest of the watch is mint.

The Pepsi sits close behind and the steel and white gold reference 126719BLRO on Jubilee often narrows the gap thanks to limited availability. Older two-tone Pepsi models from the 1990s and 2000s tend to sell for less, as tastes have shifted towards steel sports watches.

The Root Beer is the surprise. It's rarer than the other two, but the buyer pool is smaller, so a straightforward cash sale often fetches less than a comparable Batman, particularly once brassing appears on the gold bracelet links.

Colourway aside, box and papers, service history and bracelet condition all decide the final figure. Anyone dealing with Rolex buyers London has to offer should expect a proper inspection under decent light, not a valuation from a couple of phone photos.
