I just heard.

OK. So I just heard from worker from inside the Rolex plant.

He is a buddy, of a cousin of this bartender that I know. So here goes:

Rolex pushed out the BLNR expecting success. But not this big of a success.

They then came out with the WG Pepsi to trim the herd, if you will, and get the most $$ out of the hugely desired Pepsi, knowing that they will sell even more BLNR's once the word gets out that the Pepsi will be WG.

They planned this strategy because they knew that it would piss of a lot of people........SOOOOO..........

They plan on doing the Coke in SS next year, knowing that it will be the greatest SS seller of all time.

You can doubt me all you want, but bartenders always know what is happening...

I am happy to take a few friendly bets on this one......

Hope this is true! A coke in the line up now that BLNR and BLRO are here is a MUST, IMO!

You know. He did say something about that.

It sounds familiar, now that you mention it.

I'll consider it IF - and this is a big IF - they ditch the PCLs. IF not, I'll gladly stick with my 16710 Coke.

Think the Coke will be in SS but a red bezel for day is only for shepherds and Martians BLNR will do for me.

I have not stopped wearing my BLNR since getting it over a month ago. I have only used my DJ once and my Subc once in the interim. It really is a beautiful reference! I do believe that the Coke reference will do very well.
