Which GMT?

The BLRO was already launched in Basel. What kind of GMT would it be? SS Coke? What is that screw?

Or is this just a sales launch of BLRO?

That looks like a water bubble.

It's the platinum Sub!

Mmhhhh... No idea but I would be surprised to see a new model at this point.

Maybe that thing is a sort of security "tag"? Kind of a feature that can be added to a any watch in the lineup?

We could only hope it's an SS Pepsi GMT (I know, likely wishful thinking).

Has Rolex ever done anything like this in the past? I would be surprised if it was anything different than what was presented at Basel.

looks like a water drop on it, but it also says launch which would make me think plane or rocket.

this is pretty cool that Rolex is doing this, they are masters of marketing without a doubt

IMHO Rolex would never do that with BLRO on the door steps. That would decrease the BLRO sales dramatically.

What in the world has a screw next to the crown guard and what looks like brushed bezel

Hopefully it's a water bubble like will Wheaton suggested.

The shape of the bezel doesn't look exactly as the one of a Gmt BLRO

The key is to identify what is in the reflection of the droplet.

Very interesting - it's like Christmas in July, plus 4 days. I wonder what it is.
