Which of the following new GMT variations would generate the most excitement FOR YOU, PERSONALLY?

1. Root Beer on jubilee bracelet
2. Return of Coke (black/red bezel)
3. Pepsi/Batman switch to oyster bracelet
4. New bezel color offering

Forget about the community overall and the market hype. Which one would speak to YOU?

kieselguhr · 27 February 2021, 12:42 AM

Out of the choices you’ve listed #2

Honestly more excited to see what Tudor is launching this year than Rolex

Etschell · 27 February 2021, 12:46 AM

nope none would.

i am guessing that most will say a coke bezel. do not hold you breath. if it comes out i doubt it would be in SS though.

rover26c · 27 February 2021, 12:48 AM

When was the black/red bezel GMT last made? In 2007?

I agree again. With the price hype and supply games I really don't care what they announce, I'll be watching Tudor too.

BDL · 27 February 2021, 01:10 AM

I kinda hope they bring back the classic 2 tone (steel-yellow gold) with a jubilee and black dial. Drop the green text and GMT hand. I'd buy that!

travisb · 27 February 2021, 01:30 AM

Coke on brushed Oyster bracelet.

Correct. Black/red has only been offered on the aluminum bezel. So, when the Cerachrom bezel was introduced in 2007, the Coke version was no longer available on the GMT.

Unless they somehow could better the movement, cosmetics do not interest me

More important than a different color option I'm waiting for the case design to follow what rolex did with the new Sub.
I'm sire the change will happen, sooner or later it will happen.

Trane · 27 February 2021, 02:09 AM

I guess I'm the first smart alec to say "that its actually available at retail!". I voted for Coke

DoctorsOrders · 27 February 2021, 02:10 AM

Im more interested as to when the GMT will move to the new 41mm sub case!

Aquinas · 27 February 2021, 02:14 AM

I liked the one with a plain black bezel. The Pepsi and the Batperson - aside from the dumb nicknames - always seemed a bit gaudy to me. Not going to happen, I guess, and even if it would, I’m not going through an interview for a watch anyway.

Rashid.bk · 27 February 2021, 02:20 AM

Black and red bezel on an oyster bracelet with pcls would drive me crazy but so would a jubilee. Honestly it would be all about the crisp red slither of red and jet black on the bezel that would do it.
Sadly you can forget about buying one or even seeing it except on youtube and ig.

JRell · 27 February 2021, 02:21 AM

Green, anything green please.

samson66 · 27 February 2021, 02:40 AM

Coke on Oyster would be nice

Would I buy one? Probably not

And PLEASE don't put the CHNR on jubilee, for the love of God!

Annan · 27 February 2021, 02:43 AM

I'd be excited to simply be able to find any GMT model at an AD, buy it at MSRP and walk out the door with it, all in the same day.

I'm probably ignorant to the current issues with the movement. What would you improve?

azgr · 27 February 2021, 02:58 AM

For me it would be having the option for Oyster bracelet, but I'm also trying to find a submariner for myself right now. If I already had the sub, then probably a new bezel color

dimag333 · 27 February 2021, 02:59 AM

I'll take a watch without a stupid nickname.....

Number3 · 27 February 2021, 03:05 AM

A ceramic ‘blueberry’ please using the new Sub case with a nicely tapered 21mm jubilee bracelet.

rmagoo57 · 27 February 2021, 03:52 AM

I voted different color bezel, second to wanting optional bracelets. Why not let the customer pick jubilee or oyster, brushed or PCL??? Options are offered on DJ's so why not the Subs or GMTs??

I have no idea.

A different color bezel or style bracelet do not interest me. so to answer the OP, none of these choices would excite me

macrowatch · 27 February 2021, 03:56 AM

Out of left field here, but bring back meteorite Daytona with gray bezel!

Harry-57 · 27 February 2021, 04:01 AM

I went Oyster. I think it suite the SS aesthetic better. It would be nice if both bracelets were available.

Great though a Coke would be, the queue would disappear over the horizon within seconds of the announcement.

carz · 27 February 2021, 05:30 AM

larger daytona

doramas · 27 February 2021, 05:48 AM

Lime - lemon

Dini · 27 February 2021, 05:57 AM

I chose the Oyster bracelet in the hope it would be brushed and compatible with my Pepsi so I can buy it and switch it up from time to time.
