Yes, guys.....what I'd really love for Rolex to come up with is.....

A CERAMIC SS GMT-II with a PEPSI bezel and a solid and very sturdy matching Jubilee bracelet....the new type with all solid links and concealed clasp.....a very special one to take the weight of that watch.

Now that would be something to really drool over!!!!

badsmac · 26 February 2008, 05:13 PM

I'm with you JJ. I think that would look awesome. That should be the next GMT to come out. I've heard there are issues with the red & blue running together on the besel. Any truth to that?

No idea, pal.....but I'm sure Rolex can mix and match the two colours. What a superb combo that would be....coupled with the new type Jubilee!! WOW!!!

i am all about that jj, jubilee or just a all brushed bracelet like it has now. either would be good for me. the pepsi would be my everyday work watch and my black one would be my out on the town watch! of course it would need a red gmt hand and lettering!

BiG JeEzY · 26 February 2008, 06:50 PM

Completely agreed JJ!!! I like your thinking!

Also, I'd really like to see an old model brought back, like the Bubblebacks from waaay back when. Even if its only a limited edition. Since its gonna be the company's 100th anniversary, it would be a great way to celebrate.

JJ, put me down for one!!.

Cheers

vukotab · 26 February 2008, 08:13 PM

I like the idea.Especially the part with Jubilee bracelet.

SPACE-DWELLER · 26 February 2008, 09:25 PM

I agree, JJ!

Sorry that I don't a pic of that exact combination, but maybe this can do?

That totally works for me Bo. Jubillee bracelets are not meant for sports watches.

Yep, I'd have to grab that one. Instantly!

Art 1 · 26 February 2008, 09:38 PM

That would be cool. I'd also like to see a plat Daytona on bracelet.

Rudy1000 · 27 February 2008, 01:12 AM

I'd love to see that one....but I doubt Rolex would put a jubilee bracelet on it. I just hope the lettering for GMT MASTER II is red, as shown in the pic!

CoopJr · 27 February 2008, 01:18 AM

When a new watch is shown @ Basel...how long before they start showing up at the AD's?

nsolga · 27 February 2008, 01:30 AM

How about an all Red bezel??? nice...

DoxaDavid · 27 February 2008, 01:46 AM

I have to concur with a few others I like a jubilee bracelet, but not on a sports watch.

I hope they update the Submariner with the ceramic bezel, clasp and solid links and all the rest of the GMT IIc"s features. I have heard it will be the SD that got the nod this year and not the Sub.

We'll all see soon enough!

MAXI DIAL · 27 February 2008, 02:39 AM

JJ I promise you if what your prediction comes true, I will be the first to buy it among TRF members. Even thought I am a proud owner of a GMT IIc (Black)

Welshwatchman · 27 February 2008, 02:38 AM

I would be "cock a hoop" if they just brought out black/white relief dials for the 116520 (a la 6263).

A 40mm datejust option would benefit the range also.

MAC4130 · 27 February 2008, 02:45 AM

Nice Idea JJ!!!

Altough the case of the new GMT II Is kindda big, some even complain the bracelet looks smalish against the new case, don't you think this would be more noticeable with the Jubilee bracelet?

Can someone superimpose or photoshop a jubilee bracelet on one of the above photos to have an aidea?

haakon59 · 27 February 2008, 02:49 AM

Sounds like a great idea!

C.J. · 27 February 2008, 11:08 AM

Loose the ceramic bezel, polished center links and green hand and I may even sell a kidney off for that one

Who the hell would want your kidney, tosser?

Perdu · 7 May 2008, 01:04 AM

That would be really sweet.

Great pictures of the Pepsi dial, but I still love the black!!

Yes, that would be nice. The whole idea is to introduce this new PEPSI CERAMIC GMT-II only with the new style Jubilee - what an awesome combo that would be!!

ROGERB · 27 February 2008, 02:52 AM

I would like to see a DJ using the Milgauss case size..

X2. I think the need to have a larger sizes DJ in the 39mm range. I bet it would sell well!

TonyD · 27 February 2008, 06:02 AM

Me and the rest of the world are holding our breath waiting for that combo!

As an engineer who does some work with ceramic I can tell you anything is possible. Just glue it in 2 pieces, it would be almost invisible.

If they can fabricate car engine and pistons from ceramic and run it without any oil then they can make a colored bezel for a watch!

(Yes, ceramic engines have been made and they do run without oil or cooling)

Scooby · 27 February 2008, 06:17 AM

Love the Pepsi, but not on a jubilee.

What the heck is "cock a hoop"?
