Pepsi generation

Nice photo, really highlights the colors of the bezels. I frankly am head over heals with the new SS.

Love the color comparison....aluminum insert colors are just vibrant and pop beautifully.

I’d take either of the two on the right over the ceramic, never liked the color of the red or blue ceramic

15 posts in and no one has made a negative comment about the colors! Shocking

The colors are clearly very different than past generations but it’s a beauty still

The colours are different, but I really like the ceramic. I just am not a huge fan of the bracelet.....

Fascinating, thanks for showing us.

The 'new job' looks bigger.
Is it just an optical illusion?

The colours do look better in some of the more recent photo's.
But, as we know, everyone's monitor screen is slightly different,
so the first 'real' sighting should be interesting.

In direct comparison, the new colours, do, for me, appear a little 'drab'
next to the beautiful sparkle of the originals.
Maybe Rolex could try a little 'Candy Apple Red' next time.

I know it's a stretch but three MINT examples would be fairer. It's kind of two bangers vs brand new car.. although I wouldn't mind any of the three, but you get me.

They look great together, is that one of their Demo models or did you just purchase the newly released GMT ?

I think you may hold the record for the most new threads created in first month of joining TRF


More on topic, I think this simply illustrates even further that one should not expect anywhere close to old colors. Not that it’s a good or bad thing, just a fact.
