I hope so because IMO it would look awesome with the ceramic dial... of course if they make the pepsi, others should follow.

i believe rolex's r&d is trying their best to come up with a multi-color ceramic bezel insert. i look forward the day they come out with the pepsi/coke bezel.

I heard that the red ceramic is unstable or something along those lines. They can't actually produce the bezel currently but I'm sure people are working on it.

As a chemist, I think this will take some time. To get a heat-stable red color using their process is quite an undertaking. Colloidal gold-silicate solutions have been used in the past but the color intensity varies and is often weak. I have researched it to no end and it really will be something if the Rolex Labs can pull it off successfully.

What is particular about the color red that makes it difficult to render in ceramic?
