I've long thought about this and the point has been brought up before in regard to the cyclops being glued on as opposed to being one piece. Then again maybe a mad Rolex scientist promised Mr. Rolex a solution that he would have a seamless solution by 2012 five years ago?

ktam · 1 March 2012, 05:55 PM

sounds awesome, then I will not save extra cash for 116713LN TT GMT, which I believe it's the best looking GMT in the SS/TT/Gold series

HL65 · 1 March 2012, 08:32 PM

I will believe it when I see it.

Lanfor · 1 March 2012, 08:40 PM

Personally I don't think it will happen, but we can always hope

Pepsi and Coke inserts don't appeal to the mass markets, just a handful of WISes trawling watchforums would buy, so from a commercial perspective little point in Rolex bringing back things of the past.

However, I would be first in line to buy a Cerachrome Root Beer!!!!

I wouldn't hold my hopes up too high for a pepsi bezel, historically new releases start with all gold then TT and SS comes at the end .. so based on that analysis im pretty sure that pepsi should be preceded by a root beer or another bi-color bezel on a TT GMTIIc

A figurative character representing the rolex company as a whole.

Don't they? Considering the numbers available they must have sold fairly well before they were discontinued?

the wider the breadth of range and depth of stock the more inventory management issues a company will face, and higher costs.

that's why they're standardising spare parts like bracelets, clasps and culling refs to avoid higher production and said inventory issues because of a too wide breadth of stock. more standardised things can roll off the conveyor belt at greater speed

for rolex,

for us as there's less to choose from

VAWATCHGUY · 2 March 2012, 01:25 AM

I would love to see a new Pepsi personally, but my fear is if they use the current blue from the sub, it could end up looking like a cheap fake to most people when it is first released.

xhype · 2 March 2012, 01:38 AM

yup

snowpea · 2 March 2012, 01:41 AM

If they do make a pepsi ceramic, I hope they change the gmt hand o the same one as the EX 42 in red or blue.

Speed · 2 March 2012, 01:54 AM

I think Rolex has buried the Pepsi / Coke for the masses...save for a few gaudy, blinged out diamond studded models.

A week to go...or less if we get a "leaked" photo or two.

michel33 · 2 March 2012, 02:35 AM

Can someone post a photoshop picture featuring the Submariner ceramic blue color for a pepsi ceramic insert? I cannot figure out how it would look like.....

There are a ton of those on TRF. Do an advanced search. They look a bit cartoony to me.

Puffy, I think the key reason you may be wrong is that the GMT Pepsi / Coke was unique to their portfolio. It provided "Red" on the color palate and that is no longer possible. Rolex has made a concerted effort to bring new color to their line (Green with the 50th sub and the Hulk) so I can't imagine they'll let people that gravitate towards red watches down.

If they don't revitalize the GMT I can almost guarantee they will find another model to outfit with a Red bezel.

To that end, I think another color has to come eventually, whether that color is Lemon, or Orange, or Gunmetal, or Indigo, something else.

JJL · 2 March 2012, 02:49 AM

If they did release one, how impossible is it going to be to get?? Will it reach SS Daytona status? Will it sell at MSRP or above? It seems like there are masses out there craving a Pepsi/Coke C on all Message boards all over the net. I'm one for sure

It does need the red accents though !!

I only found Pepsi ceramic bezels pictures featuring a dark blue, but not a "smurf" blue... Can you please give a link?

Speed · 2 March 2012, 03:09 AM

You can't visualize that? ;-)

Sorry. I meant Pepsis / Cokes.

Steve260 · 2 March 2012, 03:21 AM

I would think a "Hulk" GMTII would be somewhat easier, as Rolex already knows how to make the green dials & bezels. As with everything else related to Rolex at Basel, it's just a guess...

STEELINOX · 2 March 2012, 03:32 AM

bwa ha ha haaa haa aaaah !

Kevin B · 2 March 2012, 03:57 AM

Great. So now I need to save for a EXP II42 AND an new Pepsi

Arrgh.

Speed · 2 March 2012, 04:11 AM

No new Pepsi Kevin.

Rollie2011 · 2 March 2012, 04:23 AM

So far we've heard:

Improved YM I
ND Sub C
Gmt Pepsi/Coke
Ceramic bezel Daytona TT

Certainly at least one of these has to be true!
