1. The Three GMTs at a Glance
Every modern GMT-Master II replica shares the same foundation: a 40mm 904L stainless steel case, a scratch-resistant ceramic (Cerachrom-style) bezel, a sapphire crystal, and a GMT hand that tracks a second time zone. What separates the Batman, Pepsi and Bruce Wayne is the bezel color story — and that single choice does more to define the watch than any spec sheet. The RICH Factory lineup:
| Model | Reference | Bezel | Bracelet | From (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Batman | 126710BLNR | Blue / Black | Jubilee std · Oyster opt | $748 |
| Bruce Wayne | 126710GRNR | Grey / Black | Jubilee std · Oyster opt | $768 |
| Pepsi | 126710BLRO | Red / Blue | Jubilee std · Oyster opt | $798 |
| Sprite (bonus) | 126720VTNR | Green / Black, LH crown | Jubilee std · Oyster opt | $788 |
Each model is available in two movement tiers — the regulated JH3235 (standard) and the free-sprung JH3285 (flagship, +$150) — and a Full Set (replica box + papers) adds $80. All four references are in stock today.
2. Bruce Wayne 126710GRNR: The Grey That Took Over 2024
Rolex launched the Bruce Wayne in 2024, and it became the fastest-moving steel GMT of the decade — not because it shouts, but because it does the opposite. The grey and black ceramic bezel disappears into a black dial, creating the stealthiest of the three colorways. The details are in the accents: a green GMT hand and matching green "GMT-MASTER II" script, a quiet callback to Rolex's 50th-anniversary 116710LN. Genuine examples trade well above retail on the secondary market, a clear signal of how demand outran supply. On the wrist it has the same effect: it flies under the radar while still being unmistakably a GMT.
RICH Factory prices the Bruce Wayne at $768 (regulated JH3235) or $918 with the free-sprung JH3285. The grey ceramic insert is one of the hardest colors to reproduce — too dark and it reads black, too light and it loses the gradient — which makes it a strong test of a factory's bezel work.
3. Batman 126710BLNR: The Blue-Black Benchmark
The Batman was the first two-tone ceramic GMT when it appeared in 2013, and it remains the reference point for what a modern GMT should feel like. Blue on top for daylight, black below for night — the nickname writes itself. It is the most versatile of the three: the blue-black combination dresses down with a t-shirt and cleans up under a cuff without the vintage baggage of the red Pepsi bezel.
One naming note: on the Oyster bracelet it is the "Batman"; on the Jubilee it is sometimes called the "Batgirl." RICH Factory ships the Batman 126710BLNR at $748 with the Jubilee as standard and the Oyster available at the same price, so you can build either version without paying extra. If this is your first GMT replica, the Batman is the safest possible starting point.
4. Pepsi 126710BLRO: The Collector's Icon
The red and blue bezel is where the GMT story starts — Pan Am's pilots used the original 1955 model to track two time zones, and the red-blue "Pepsi" colorway became the most recognizable GMT of all. The modern ceramic Pepsi arrived in 2014 and has been a grail reference ever since. In 2026 the genuine stainless Pepsi is reported to be discontinued, which has pushed secondary prices even higher and cemented its collector status. That history is the entire argument for the Pepsi: no other bezel carries the same heritage.
On the RICH Factory side the Pepsi 126710BLRO at $798 is the top of the GMT price ladder, matching its genuine-market position. Red is also the hardest ceramic color to reproduce convincingly — a poor red insert turns pink or orange in sunlight — so the Pepsi is the model where bezel quality matters most.
5. Same Bones: Case, Movement and Bracelet
Strip away the bezel and these are the same watch. All three use a 40mm 904L Oystersteel case with the correct lug proportions, a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and a solid ceramic bezel insert with platinum-style coated numerals. The clasp is the modern style with the Easylink-style extension, and the Jubilee bracelet — five links, polished center — is what Rolex pairs with the current GMT by default, with the Oyster available as the alternative.
Inside, RICH Factory fits its JH calibers: the regulated JH3235 as standard and the free-sprung JH3285 as the flagship tier. The free-sprung movement is the closer match to the genuine Rolex 3235/3285 architecture — four regulation weights on the balance wheel instead of a regulator lever — and delivers roughly 70 hours of power reserve at 28,800 vph. Every watch is timegrapher-tested before shipping, and you receive real QC photos of your exact watch before you approve it. See the free-sprung guide for the full technical difference between the tiers.
6. Which One Should You Buy?
Match the colorway to the collector, not the other way around. Choose the Pepsi if you want the icon — the watch with the history, the higher genuine-market premium, and the presence that gets noticed. Choose the Batman if you want the everyday benchmark — the most neutral colorway, the easiest to wear with anything, and the natural first GMT replica. Choose the Bruce Wayne if you want the current talking point — the modern grey stealth look from the 2024 release that is still climbing, and the most subtle of the three on the wrist. If you wear your watch on your right hand or just want something genuinely rare, the left-crowned Sprite 126720VTNR ($788) is the fourth option in the family.
Bracelet logic is separate from color logic: the Jubilee makes any of them dressier and hides scratches between the polished links; the Oyster wears sportier and a touch heavier. RICH Factory includes your choice at no extra cost, and a second bracelet can be added for $59 if you want both looks from one watch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which RICH Factory GMT should I buy first — Batman, Pepsi or Bruce Wayne?
If you want the most wearable everyday GMT, start with the Batman or Bruce Wayne. If you want the most recognizable, collector-heritage piece, choose the Pepsi. All three share the same 40mm 904L case and JH movement options, so the decision is really about bezel color and wrist presence.
What is the difference between Batman and Batgirl?
Batman and Batgirl are the same watch — the GMT-Master II 126710BLNR with a blue and black bezel. The nickname depends on the bracelet: Batman usually refers to the Oyster bracelet version, Batgirl to the Jubilee. RICH Factory ships the Jubilee as standard and offers the Oyster at the same price.
Is the Rolex Pepsi discontinued and is the replica still worth buying?
Reports in 2026 indicate the stainless steel Pepsi has been discontinued by Rolex, which pushed genuine secondary prices higher. For replica buyers that makes the Pepsi the most collector-focused GMT: it is the iconic red-blue bezel that started the GMT story, and RICH Factory keeps it in production at $798.
What movement does RICH Factory use in the GMT-Master II?
RICH Factory GMTs come in two JH caliber tiers: the JH3235 regulated movement (standard) and the JH3285 free-sprung movement (flagship). The free-sprung version mirrors the genuine Rolex architecture with four regulation weights instead of a regulator, and both run at 28,800 vph with roughly 70 hours of power reserve.
Are RICH Factory GMT replicas 1:1 and what QC do you do?
RICH Factory watches are high-grade super clones on 904L steel with ceramic bezels, and the brand ranked first overall in the RWI 2026 seven-factory comparison (310/340). Every watch is inspected and photographed before shipping — dial alignment, bezel action, bracelet and a timegrapher reading — and you approve your actual watch before it ships.
How long does shipping take and what does the Full Set include?
Shipping from Guangzhou takes 7-10 business days to the US with tracking. A Full Set adds the replica box, papers and sleeve for $80. Shipping is free on orders over $1,000, and a second bracelet can be added for $59.
