If Rolex release a GMT Coke.....

[favx]

I doubt anything will happen to the values.

I prefer classic Coke.

It will tank. Everybody and their mother will want the new Coke.

When the ceramic BLRO was released, 5 digit GMTs didnt "tank." Quite the opposite.

That said, I would be shocked to see a SS Pepsi and Coke alongside one another. I think the only way a Coke gets released is if the Pepsi goes to PM only. I have a BLRO and it certain lighting it already looks like a coke. They would be too similar. It actually could make a lot of sense to move Pepsi to PM only if there really are problems with the Pepsi bezel. Less bezels to produce and service if they are only selling WG and meteorite Pepsis. It is a bit odd they are offering a Pepsi in three variants (4 if you consider SS oyster and jubilee separate) currently, imo.

I don’t think it would do anything to vintage/neo-vintage. I have a 16710 and if they put out a decent looking Coke with a ceramic bezel I’d certainly consider adding it.

The 16710BLRO lost 40% from Oct 2018 to April 2019. Kind of a crash. It did recover after that, although it's now at the same level it was in Oct 2018, more than 5 years later.

That never happened.

Here are some FS listings for 16710s on TRF during that time frame. In 2018, 7-10k for one. In 2019, 7-10k. These watches never dipped to <6k. The GMT mania had already started and the watches went fairly quickly from 5k to 10k and never came back down.

We can also go to Mr GMT, our very own Springer, and check his prices from that time.

Add or replace?

That would be key.

If everybody with a 16710 suddenly wanted to dump them and flock to the ceramic black/red, there could be an increase in supply that only a decrease in price would ease.

However, those with the old version simply aren't interested in replacing theirs with a ceramic. If they did it would have happened long before this - and a black/red bezel insert just isn't an earth shaking option.

Thanks

Rolex is like fine wine, the older the better. Have no fear man.

[BigNasty66]

Not sure anything will happen.

I'd be interested in a Coke if I didn't already have the Sprite. I'd really like to add a Pepsi, but between a batman, sprite, coke, all basically have half the bezel in black and then one other half in their namesake accent color, so to me they're all kinda same-y. People who don't have a GMT would likely go crazy and the watch would be super hyped.

AD's have no information more than the general public. They will find out if a Coke is coming at the same time the general public finds out. The SA was likely being evasive because they have no clue.

I don't think anything will happen.

Given that they are having problems with the red bleeding on Pepsi's... I think not.
