Hi Folks

IF! the coke was re released would you want one? and would you choose it over the Pepsi?

kunlun · 17 December 2018, 04:49 AM

I don't do coke.

Wedders · 17 December 2018, 04:49 AM

I prefer the coke to the Pepsi. But then again I’m not the run of the mill Rolex owner as I dislike the Daytona, fluted bezels, diamonds on watches and TT bracelets. I’m not a blingy type of person. Rant over.

Father and Son · 17 December 2018, 04:50 AM

Pepsi Pepsi. No Coke.

rmh45 · 17 December 2018, 04:52 AM

Would I want one? Absolutely. Would I ever be able to buy at retail? Absolutely not.

I'm personally not a fan of the red on the Pepsi or coke but I get why some do

TswaneNguni · 17 December 2018, 05:01 AM

Think the pepsi always had the edge over coke in Rolex history.
However,if Rolex brings it out with a vibrant red with black it will be a winner .

dwjez14 · 17 December 2018, 05:03 AM

I will take a Pepsi and a coke please

ahlee00023 · 17 December 2018, 05:03 AM

I would put down a deposit the moment it's released.

Coke 100%. Just not into the blue/red of a Pepsi.

Conceptually, but the red on the BLRO would look pretty bad on an LNRO.

Chloe&Harley · 17 December 2018, 05:05 AM

Yes I would ... but looks like I’m only one of a few I guess there wouldn’t be a shortage

brandrea · 17 December 2018, 05:05 AM

I’d add one probably

Brian7708 · 17 December 2018, 05:06 AM

Sounds weird, but i like the old school numbers with a Pepsi and the newer fat numbers with a coke. Given my place on the 5 year wait list at the Atlanta AD (the only one in Atlanta willing to put me in a list), I may give up and start fresh next March and try to get a Coke. I’ve seen someone selling an aftermarket dial with their Gmt and it looks good.

Ravager135 · 17 December 2018, 05:06 AM

The GMT-Master II Pepsi has always been more in demand.

Look, Rolex is always going to do what Rolex wants to do; but I think Rolex has had issues getting the colors right for a red/black bezel. I truly believe the only reason the BLNR came before the BLRO is because they were able to do blue/black first. They've now gotten blue/red down. Most brands still can't even figure out how Rolex does this.

Once Rolex gets the manufacturing perfected, they will release the Coke on their own terms. We shouldn't hold our breaths as people have been predicting this release for almost a decade. Eventually we will probably be right and it will come back in ceramic. I do think having four bezel options for the stainless steel GMT-Master II is a little much. The first one to be cut likely would be the BLNR since the other colors have a place in history, but I can see the LN and Coke bezel being offered on Oyster and keeping the BLRO on Jubilee. None of us knows...

VicLeChic · 17 December 2018, 05:06 AM

Coke or Pepsi, whichever is available first, but only on jubilee.

Likewise here. No red or bright colors on the watch for me as well.

Talbel · 17 December 2018, 05:12 AM

I just picked up the BLRO yesterday and it’s a beautiful watch, but if they offered a “Coke” version, I think that’s the way I would go. This assumes of course, that Rolex did it right. Maybe with the PCL bracelet.

I would love a Coke on Jubilee.

SearChart · 17 December 2018, 05:17 AM

Nope, I prefer the Blue/Red.

Mat K · 17 December 2018, 05:21 AM

Maybe?

I love subtle red like the 126600, but not as a focal point of a watch. Unless I'd get an absolute steal, I don't see myself ever owning one........but I said the same thing about green.

Hodog16 · 17 December 2018, 06:07 AM

I would buy a black/red GMT provided it's on an oyster bracelet in whatever metal they put it in.

However, I don't think a black/red GMT would do well in white gold, because it's less popular than the BLRO and buyers may be hesitant as it would likely come out in stainless down the road.

doboy007 · 17 December 2018, 06:07 AM

Yes. Also prefer to drink the Coke over Pepsi

Stig722 · 17 December 2018, 06:18 AM

Personally I think the coke is very unique and I'd love to have one. Not on the GMT bracelet though with the PCL.

Harry-57 · 17 December 2018, 06:20 AM

Yes and yes.

Assuming I didn't die of old age waiting.
