If they increase the size of the GMT then I will be forever happy with my 40mm.

I knew it wouldn’t take long for the GMT to start getting picked on like it’s super case Submariner brother

A Coke bezel will be the new GMT. Case size will remain the same.

I don’t see any changes any time soon as Rolex only recently redesigned the BLEO and BLNR.

I also don’t see a return to oyster bracelets for these SS watches. The braclets were changed to Jubilee to differentiate GMTs from submariners.

I don’t see any changes soon, since it’s so new and popular. I did not realize the bezel only had 24 clicks. That would be the ideal thing to change I think, but doubt if they will. My 16750 has no clicks and I can use it for whatever function, I didn’t realize it was that huge of a plus until now.

For anyone that owns a BLRO knows how dark the blue is at night, pretty much looks like a Coke. For that reason a Coke wont happen, it'll be way to close is colour as the new BLRO.

And I can't see them going to a 41mm case, a 21mm jubilee bracelet would look real bad.

I thought the differentiator was that the GMT has GMT function.

Otherwise you have to choose between looks and function.

48 vs 24 clicks does not help with 30 min timezones, that would be a very hard to read method. The minute hand is normally used with the 24 hour hand to read the referenced time. GMTs have never been able to handle 30 min zones and 48 clicks would just be a band aid fix.
