Sorry for being stupid but am I missing something - we know that Rolex can do a green, blue and black ceramic bezel and also a two colour one - why can't they do red? Assuming they want to of course but some people are saying it might be a while before they can do red?

It has been a technical challenge. I believe this is the patent for the process:

It appears to have been filed last month.

Im reading it as it's a work in process. Maybe you will see a "red" bezel or two on some of their watches

Obviously they haven't resolved it yet or at least come up with a red they like, hence the new blue/black GMT.

Or maybe they want to move away from the Pepsi and Coke colors...
