None of my previous predictions came to life this year, so I'd same the same things over again. Pt Sub-C, RG GMT IIC with chocolate brown dial, SS GMT IIC with a black-green bezel ("Sprite"), YG DSSD on Oysterflex, and gold Daytona with ceramic bezel.

Is Rolex going to refuse to come out with a new SS coke or pepsi GMT until they've got GMT fans to buy Batmans and Sprites and PM cokes, pepsis, or root beers for several years first?

Yep, way too early.

That's probably a safe bet and one I'd look forward to.

You know Rolex will never in life make a Steel Day Date! It is actually a laughable request.

I'll go along with that, but as for first..... I think that prediction came out about an hour after Baselworld 2016 started.

I must admit though, i am excited about it and will be one of the first to purchase!

Doesn't the DJ41 already come in stainless steel?

I predict there will be many many more posts like this including a BLRO stainless steel variant. Furthermore, I predict that the GMT line in Rolex's eyes is good to go as is.

Platinum sub with ice blue dial and blue bezel might get my attention. Might be too close to smurf so rolex probably won't do it.

If coke gmt, I am thinking it will be two tone RG.

Now I've bought another subc, I think this Plat or RG Sub will be released just as they released the DD40 after I bought a DD2 and the D500 after I bought the RG version. Sorry there will be no CokeC now as I didn't buy a GMTc but maybe I will for you guys next year.
