Not sure if that is even on the books for them at some point, but it would seem inevitable given that the ceramic basel has made it on to the Daytona. What's up for this year?

superdog · 1 January 2013, 03:14 AM

considering how new the 42mm is, i highly doubt it. i would like to see it tho. with a trip lock, please.

Wait...does the GMTIIC have a luggy case or is it more like the Explorer II 42?

ha, it is pretty luggy. BUT, compared to the subC it appears quite small. might be the caseback. it appears less blocky......

if it came out in a pepsi, that would be crazy cool.

Thanks!

Lets see if someone will post a pic of a SubC and a GMTIIC...

If a GMT2C-PEPSI comes out, it will annihilate all SUBs and DSSD and GMT 2C-BLK sales put together. There would be massive FOR SALE signs in the TRF Sales Section as members try to liquidate their BLK GMT2Cs and other watches to get their hands on the GMT-2C-PEPSI...

i agree with this x1,000,000

i'd want to keep my black, because it is my conservative piece that i do not think i will ever flip. i really don't think i could justify selling it.

that said, i never buy a watch without having funds for the next one ready.

i would buy the pepsi in a friggin heart beat.

the moment they announced it....i would be sending emails, texting and calling DavidSW to put me on his list.

I think a ceramic-cased, radio-controlled, 52mm, quartz, digital chronograph with perpetual calendar, countdown timer, second time-zone, multiple alarms, and Indiglo on a ceramic bracelet is definitely on the horizon.

Or not.

Woody · 1 January 2013, 03:42 AM

My money is on an updated SS Daytona to celebrate 50 years since the launch of he original model.

The ExpII has never had a non-metal bezel. I HIGHLY doubt they will ever put on a ceramic.

Agreed 100%. Doing so would diminish it's domination of indestructibility compared to the ceramic wearing Rolex sports models.

Thatguy · 1 January 2013, 05:15 AM

Not into rumors, just waiting to see what I will be saving up for in the future.

AK797 · 1 January 2013, 05:19 AM

I remember reading they cant do ceramic in two colours so the Pepsi ceramic is not possible - anyone confirm or deny? Otherwise bring it on!!!!

Ceramic RG Submariner on Rubber Strap!

You forgot moonphase, tourbillon but I guess since it's quartz you don't really need tourbillon.

I don't see any reason why they would do this.

eb641 · 1 January 2013, 08:06 AM

Forget ceramic. Has anyone thought of Rolex providing a pepsi or better yet a coke bezel made to LOOK like a ceramic model...Same style just different material....Then eveyone's photo shop fantasies would come true.

stevedssd · 1 January 2013, 08:12 AM

Ceramic Pepsi will need a red or possibly blue 24hr hand to replace the green?

stmoore · 1 January 2013, 08:13 AM

That looks great, but does the green had bug anyone (if pepsi)?

I doubt we would see a ceramic explorer 2. I do expect a lot from the Daytona.

Red hand will be appropriate if it does happen.

Man on the moon.... I don't think a 2 color ceramic bezel would pose much of a problem, if they were determined to make one .....we can do anything we want!

rescue7 · 1 January 2013, 08:45 AM

I much prefer Coca Cola.

Now I'm a buyer.

I was told Rolex haven't come up with a way to bond the two ceramic halves together.

Agreed. Pepsi great.

Coke is the bestest tho. That looks: yeow!!!

Hairdude1 · 1 January 2013, 09:19 AM

My money is on an updated Daytona. As for Rubber straps I remember seeing a thread that Rolex patented a rubber strap. Who knows

Speed · 1 January 2013, 10:29 AM

Light a candle for the Pepsi and Coke. That style has passed. It's only forum fools like us who pine for them.

Maybe a ceramic 40mm Daytona in SS. If Daytonas were moving to 42mm the new ceramic/ gold models would have been bumped in size.

Rolex is too predictable.

~dadam02~ · 1 January 2013, 11:53 AM

40mm would be disastrous on a new SS Daytona. The current ones just look and feel too small, particuarly in comparison to the rest of the current range.
