It will be interesting to see how this affects the market value of the BLNR and BLRO. I personally really like it. :-)

There is like 3-5 seperate threads about the GMT pepsi, mods should do a thread merge.

Apparently its a redesigned case, so there might a chance changing the bracelet wont work.

I'm shocked Rolex didn't add the Micro Adjustment to the GMT Master. That means a whole entire new generation still using the same old clasp. It's time for a smaller version of the Glidelock to hit the range...

Not a fan of the jubilee on a sport model case. Knowing rolex, probably wont be a direct swap with an existing oyster bracelet think purposely too to not let one kill the other.

I’m not convinced. It looks too big for the bracelet. No doubt sell like hot cakes. I think the Tudor gmt is better looking....

I love it! I probably would’ve passed on an Oyster since I feel like one configuration per model is enough but I don’t have a Pepsi nor a watch on a jubilee. Definitely going to call around later on. Only this and the RG GMTs have the new 3285. Looking forward to seeing real pics.

Really sucks for BLRO owners. While the market value won’t really take a hit, there’s now an improved version with a better movement for 1/3 of the price.

I never liked the Pepsi or Coke personally. Always preferred the LN GMT but I do like jubilees. This new Pepsi does look very nice though. Hoping the jubilee and new movement make it to the LN at some point.

Even on the website renderings it looks like the red/blue on the new SS is different from what’s on the WG. The bezel on the new blue dial WG looks the same as the previous BLRO.

They're smart but frustrating. The new designed case means everyone will buy it and then buy what I'm guessing will be a brushed sport bracelet that fits next year. Keep those Revenue streams coming!

I was full go on the Coke but I'll sit this one out.

Also, odd to me they released the Pepsi essentially for Tudor this year for 1/3 the price.

I thought it would be a SS BLRO, but don't think the PM guys should be bothered as it is discoed and thus exclusive. Plus the SS was always expected as the ceramic so the WG guys got a special chance to buy something which will be rare in future.

According to the picture the blue looks purple and the red looks pink - hope that's just the picture and not representative of the real thing.

Could be a slightly wider bracelet, but the lugs look the same at the bottom so maybe not.
