It is clear that the 116719 (white gold GMT) is not selling in the type of volume that would move the needle for Rolex so I am wondering what everyone thinks about the possibility for them to discontinue this model?

I know some people suggest Rolex will introduce a SS version of this "Pepsi" watch but that sure would seem unwise as it would make this white gold version less exclusive unless there was a significant visual difference.

It seems like it might be a smart move for Rolex to discontinue this watch because it is not selling well and if it was discontinued it would become more exclusive and help sagging values.

What are your thoughts on whether the white gold will be discontinued or if a SS version is coming?
