Certainly at least one of these has to be true!
I'll put my money on the Daytona.

Everything I've heard about ceramic material you can't get a multi colored bezel.
Multi colored ceramics are common in every day life. Think of a glass eye, or a corningware dish. Not a big technical challenge like Hublot's scratch proof 18 kt gold what will also be on display at the show.

If the issue was that Rolex was having problems with the Red/Blue or Red/Black bezel ceramics bleeding into one another, this still could be overcome by a simple method. A hash mark in gold/platinum could be put over the merged location at 3 and 9 o'clock that would conceal the point of juncture between the two colors. This would be a subtle change the watch's look because currently the hash at 3 and 9 do not cover the entire width of the bezel. So what?

Cover it with a gold/platinum hash and lets make Pepsi and Coke GMTs again!

He is kind of like Mr. Peanut or the Monopoly guy, all I know is he wears a monocle.
