I was pretty disappointed when the Pepsi ceramic came out a few years ago exclusively in full 18K WG. I currently have the BLNR but something about the blue+black combination doesn't rub me the right way. Also, the community-given name of Batman is pretty damn stupid.

Anyway, I have hope that perhaps the GMT line can be reinvigorated with the comeback of the Coke w/ ceramic in stainless steel. Anyone think BW 2017 might be the time to shine?

tifosi · 19 November 2016, 04:54 AM

It may, but probably in platinum. That's how Rolex does...

I think Rolex platinum watches have historically come with light blue dials. If anything, they may troll us again by making it also full WG

I know. Basically it'll only come in <insert your favorite precious metal here when everyone wants stainless>.

Agree...platinum would be its own blue and hopefully not a brown bezel like the platona...while it works there, I don't think it would a good combo for the GMT.

If that coke comes out in SS, I think the GMT would give the new 116500 a challenge for the hardest watch to get. I know I'd be placing my order as soon as it happened.

rph08 · 19 November 2016, 04:59 AM

If/when the Coke makes a comeback, then I'll be putting my name on a list asap!

Chewbacca · 19 November 2016, 05:00 AM

we could see this happening.

since the BLNR is such a success, theres certainly room for a Coke bezel in the SS.

Colina19 · 19 November 2016, 05:10 AM

If the BLNR exists then this one is a possibility

tkdgod · 19 November 2016, 05:15 AM

Originally I would have said white gold or platinum for the coke bezel but with how popular and high demand for daytona 500 is.... Rolex could bank on an SS version easily

capote · 19 November 2016, 05:15 AM

Buy a 5 digit GMT

watchwatcher · 19 November 2016, 05:16 AM

Possible: sure. Likely? Just no telling.

Spartacus · 19 November 2016, 05:19 AM

double red sub sea-dweller ceramic.

My name is already on the list.

lol I'm already peppering my AD in advance of the seadweller anniversary!

I have doubts they will go double red. Something better be in order though.

AK797 · 19 November 2016, 05:34 AM

After all the recent trauma of Brexit and their AD games, the least Rolex can do for us now is a special SS release in the UK only. Give them WG or Plat elsewhere.

Etschell · 19 November 2016, 05:40 AM

ive heard rumors it will be coming in rose gold and will have caffeine free on the dial right above GMT.

Howdy,

Dyim · 20 November 2016, 01:49 AM

Full RG and TT RG maybe.

2th_doc · 19 November 2016, 05:41 AM

If they do bring it back in SS. (Which BTW I don't think will happen.) I hope they make it more of a tool watch with BCL's & not PCL's as pictured by OP.

Cerachrom Coke on a Jubilee bracelet made of 904L. What a day that would be...

While we're at it, why not give it Glidelock instead of Easylink?

can you change that photoshop to rose gold, rose gold on the bezel insert numbers and a cream date wheel insert. rose gold hands and surrounds. etc.

Nairn1980 · 19 November 2016, 05:52 AM

I think a coke will come but not in SS.

stylinleems · 19 November 2016, 05:58 AM

That does look nice though, I'd be line for the SS version if it ever makes it to production!

Shaky · 19 November 2016, 06:01 AM

I am not in the market for another Rolex (lack of budget) but if that came out I would be smashing the AD's door down to get hold of one.

Loevhagen · 19 November 2016, 06:10 AM

16710 is already an option - and an effective 6-in-1 watch.

ronricks · 19 November 2016, 06:15 AM

Won't be surprised if we get a coke or root beer GMT at Basel in 2017.

mmalek1 · 19 November 2016, 06:28 AM

It is stainless steel. I heard from my AD who knows a guy that knows another guy with a son who goes bowling with some guys that buy watches from an ad that talked with their Rep who heard from his buddy that works on cars who once bought a submariner in 1993 from his best friend who has an uncle that did some plumbing work for a friend that works at an AD. I think this should secret info should put us as ease.

To the OP, it does look great and a stainless or pm model would be quite a watch.
