New GMT Master II with Pepsi bezel

Has anyone heard if Rolex is going to come out with a Pepsi bezel GMT in steel?

this is very much desired by many, but is very unlikely to happen.

We can only hope and pray....only rolex knows but i think more chance of it appearing in platinum as pepsi exists in white gold....if it came out in steel i dont think they'd sell another WG one again

Ha Ha. You know the PM Sky Dweller owners were pissed! Coke would be a good choice for SS!

That's a thought, but to have the BLNR and a steel/Coke would be great.

It’s been mentioned thousands of times, and people would love to see a PepsiC. However I’d be absolutely speechless if they ever did as they already have Pepsi In White Gold.

An SS Coke is a possibility and would be a big hit.

I have a classic 16710 Pepsi and a 116710BLNR so have best of both worlds I think.

Let me tell you that I am 99% sure it will not happen unless they completely redesign the GMT watch all together because they currently have one in white gold and it would be almost identical and make no sense. Although after the sky dweller going to SS, I have to say I was very surprised...on a final note...nobody hears of anything regarding new releases in the future EVER from Rolex you will only see the releases on the day of baselworld.

Eventually they will but who knows when, there nothing special about Pepsi bezel that they have to save it for a $40000 watch, Seiko makes pepsi diver for $400, LOL. Just start saving your money :)

it will come out again in steel,

just not yet,

the hulk and batman are running the show for now,

but the steel pepsi will be back, just let the desire and demand grow,

the rolex hierarchy can see what people are paying for them,

they know.............they are just waiting.

As others have said, far more likely to see a SS with black/red ("Coke") bezel. That was the original GMT Master II bezel color, so it would make a great anniversary model at some point (e.g. 40-year anniversary of the GMTII in 2023).

True, I too highly doubt it but regarding the SkyD, they were able to keep the PMs with Arabic numerals - not sure there is anything they can do with the Pepsi to distinguish between the PM and the wished upon SS. I agree with you it's highly unlikely.

But a Coke - well that's very plausible. But that will slightly lower the 5 digit prices and more than likely cause the BLNR prices to plummet.

If it comes true, I will be first in line for a SS Ceramic Coke.

Check the price of the WG BLRO, when that starts to "rise like a Hulk" then you know the disco game is on and the SS possibility ripens...

Well, the BLNR can't be the hot new thing forever. At some point, something newer and hotter has to kick it off its throne, and the BLNR's value will drop.

Red/Blue bezel “Pepsi”, Black/Red bezel “Coke”. This combination along with an all black bezel was available on the 16710GMT

Exactly this. Every answer in this thread is speculation and therefore redundant to the original question...unless anyone actually has insider information from Rolex which I highly doubt.

Red and Black will have to look better than Red and Lavender. Regarding the SkyD death threats look at all the love that was created by the Stainless crew. Regardless, with a SkyD on my wrist I no longer have a dog in the fight.

Or skyrocket like every other popular model after it's been discontinued. Highly unlikely the BLNR would plummet.
