The 63600/63200 bracelet is made for a 36mm Datejust model. People source the bracelet and put it on 40mm cases with 1.8mm spring bars instead of the regular 2.0mm spring bars. The arch of the case between 36mm and 40mm isnt the same. There is a slight gap if you look. Not very noticeable but its there. I am with TW that they will make this new Jubilee bracelet a weird number like 21mm so it wont fit existing watches. Its the Rolex way, sell more product.

Oh, I actually think this looks like the lugs are a bit slimmer than usual.

This would be my next watch if that rendering is indeed what is released. I think it looks incredible.

Wow! It's about time they released a coke bezel GMT. Surprised they opted to do for the jubilee bracelet though.

Looks OK.

To be quite honest I would like Rolex to release a completely new model. Something no-one has seen and something unique.

Their entire lineup I think needs a nice new fresh face instead of just rotating metals, dial colors, bezel colors, bracelets etc...

If it is a GMT it appears to have a different middle case than the current models. There is a weird chamfer which I circled below.

I'm guessing it's just a jubilee bracelet option on the GMTc, as there was in the old days.

Red ceramic is hard to do, so I would say a Coke is unlikely. And the lugs look the same as my BLNR to me.

Funny, when the oyster clasp was put on the jubilee on the DJ 41 there was tons of wailing and nashing of teeth. Now it seems to be ok?

I think we’ll see a standard 40mm GMT with this bracelet and a coke bezel. Question is, new or old movement.
And one other important question you left out, PM or SS?

Probably a good idea to ask your AD to be on the coke GMT waiting list now to avoid the rush.

You’re correct. If that is a chamfer like you suggest, then this is NOT the current GMT maxi case.

or platinum ??

I'm inclined to agree that this is likely a Jubilee bracelet on a GMT-Master II; the flip-lock clasp, the crown guards, the history of the two being associated.

Does that mean Rolex is releasing a Coke version in ceramic, not necessarily. If they do, all the people who predicted this will gloat about being right, but let's remember that people have been predicting this for years. What I am hoping for is that the GMT-Master II line undergoes a few subtle refinements; maybe drop the green anniversary colors, reinstate the red GMT hand, add a nice rootbeer two tone configuration. I still can't see them getting rid of the BLNR considering how well it has sold, but I think it has a place alongside a black bezeled version and a Coke if they decide to add it.

Using the SD43 as an example, if Rolex dips into their history for this release we should all expect a deviation from the "standard" design. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if the bracelet was .5 mm wider at the case or the whole thing was up sized.

If it's not coke / Pepsi and something truly new, its way more likely to be the 40mm we are familiar with featuring an updated whatever and a new bezel color.

I highly doubt it's both.

I could see the retro GMT Master making a comeback, I’m not a personal fan of the Jub bracelet, it would be way cool if it was a black gmt with the red had hand and lettering... I won’t be on the list for this one. 🤦🏽*♂️

I suppose this hasn’t changed much over the years - but the vCard Rolex has posted on the show’s website continues to be their top seller - the TT DJ36.

Already did 40 years ago. You could get your sub on an oyster, jubilee or rubber.

Thanks for that. Good to know

Agreed. 21 mm

Or 22 in a larger case perhaps.
