Will Rolex update the Coke/Pepsi GMT w/Ceramic?
I just looooooooove the GMT Coke (although the Pepsi Bez are very nice too). I like to have the latest, greatest in gadgets, esp., the new GMT IIc and Sub c.
I am so curious to know if Rolex will update the GMT Coke/Pepsi down the road with the latest gagdgets from the GMT IIc & Sub c. If they do, any idea what the starting price will be for the timepiece? I am sure the ADs won't be able to keep it in stock. When I was a kid, I saw my dad's friend with a GMT Coke on, and fell in love with the watch. Told myself that will be the 1st Rolex I will get when I can afford it. I came very close to buying one for myself, but that's when the GMT IIc was introduced. Now, I am onto the Sub c, but I am hoping in a couple of yrs., Rolex will update the Coke/Pepsi GMT with Ceramic, etc.... Will my childhood dream come true???? |

Rolex is having problems creating a two color ceramic bezel. For now we all have to wait.

Well Larry think Rolex has a problem with the magnetron cathode sputtering. Seems like they cannot get the Pepsi ceramic to splutter together correctly.

I'm going to say at some point they will. When I have no idea. Rolex will be carefull to not have hot watches compete with each other, but at some point....

Apple also moves a whole lot faster than Rolex. :) I think it could be several years before we see a two-color ceramic bezel, both for technical and for marketing reasons.

The sputtering has nothing to do with the bezel insert itself. Just with putting the platinum on the numbers...
