I think a rose gold GMTc would be logical, the Sub could have WG exclusively & the GMT would be available in RG exclusively...

Take that concept, put a white or silver dial and blue GMT hand on it, and I'm sold. A GMT 2 with an all-blue bezel (or blue and gray) would look stunning.

That is amazeballs. If they make it, and it's SS, I'll buy

But I doubt they will

Rolex is going blue so who knows but that is a winner !
Even an all blue bezel with black dial and blue gmt hand would be a total knockout !! Photoshop anyone? ;)

I love my WG Sub, but would actually consider trading it for that GMT.

If Rolex came out with a WG GMT, forget making it look just like the WG Sub. The move would be to leave the bezel alone and instead give it a white dial. Now that would be the nuts.

Hmm, interesting. I tend to think the GMT looks better in precious metal than the sub. This looks just plain hot.

I could not agree more. Even in SS - this watch would be a best seller!

I agree though I don't think rolex would produce a stainless GMT that looks so similar to the smurf, in fact I don't think they would do a white gold one either.
There would have to be a distinct difference like maybe Red GMT script and GMT hand.

Maybe we need another photoshop

Nice work! That really looks good.

I know this is a stupid reason but I don't have a Sub because I don't dive.

I do happen to travel quite a bit so a GMT feels legit for me...

Keeping me busy, huh? I love it! I'll do that one next. For now, here's the stainless steel version, no PCL's, with red GMT hand and type.

You didn't happen to ask about a GMTIIc Pepsi or Coke did you? I read the support for a ceramic Pepsi version and I would think with the history of the watch, one would be just around the corner. I would definitely make the Coke my next purchase.

With the field seemingly split 50/50 on the whole BLNR black and blue combo, I expect the same to be true of this concept. But, ask and you shall receive...if only it were that easy with Rolex!

I personally think a ceramic Pepsi would be beautiful. Okay, enough Franken-GMT's for me, I'm getting carried away. I almost made a version with blue bezel and green dial...time for bed!

Love the all blue and the black face/blue bezel. If it's that easy to get it right on here in just a few minutes then why do Rolex get it so wrong with the BLNR after years of development?!

the ceramic GMTII bezel looks really great in all-blue....for some reason, what seems a little fussy in black looks great in blue?

nice photoshops.
