Not it just looks worse! The purple of the bezel really pops against the blue dial now!

I like all 3. But the PM is not in the cards with private school tuition. ;)
I want to retire some day too.

As a GMT lover that currently owns a 16710 Coke, BLNR, and 116718...

I, for one, welcome my new SS Pepsi overlord.

Let's run it down shall we:
  • Jubilee bracelet
  • Similar to colors used on original GMT-Master in 1955, yes, it's the Pepsi!!!
  • Never before seen combination of steel, two color Cerachrom, and Jubilee
  • Amazing new Calibre 3285
  • Useful for both long hall travel and adventure

Yes ladies and gentlemen, it's ticking all the right boxes. I think we have a winner here!!!

Wow...I'm actually shocked.

But also delighted that some precious metal snobs are going to have their noses in the air about this. How dare poor people have the "same" watch?!?!

Well done, Rolex. I'm stopping by my AD today to put my name on the list.

It’s not surprising though. They’ve been changing gold then TT then Steel for years. It’s a popular color, it was just a matter of time. They probably do better selling 100k in steel than 5k in gold. And the good buyers will just get the exclusive blue dial anyway.

So, who purchased WG Pepsi with black dial, will they swap out to the Blue dial free of charge? So not to piss off the customers?

They now have a Rose gold version of the GMT and a new 70 hr power reserve, about 28 more then the previous GMTs.

I like your positive view, and hope you’re correct.

I assume thats a actual picture of the watch and not photo shopped? The Rolex web page shows the WG model with a silver GMT hand and not red...............weird.

Total screw job on all those who bought the white gold version. I can’t believe they did this. What’s next, a steel Platona?

Although it is still on their website, once refreshed with the new lineup, the BLNR will no longer be a choice.

Looks like a smaller tirangle cut out. Different engraved numbers than the WG BLRO insert.

Again, source? I have no beef with it as I already have one but seems odd it wouldn't be removed already.
