Every how often does the GMT bezel colors change?

[tough]

Just curious as to how often this happens.
I am considering a BLNR however want to make sure that a new combination doesn't come sometime soon this year.
I am not sure if there will be any combination that would beat the blue black as I love it over any other that were produced in the past, but I am still curious.

I assume when a new color combination is launched, the blue black production will be stopped, and it will then become a rare classic, slowly harder to find.
Another reason that I am leaning towards the BLNR over the LN.
Well this and the fact that the blue just has a unique factor which I love.
Don't think I would get bored of it, though I can't be sure.

Not necessarily. The LN and BLNR are both currently in production. If you want to wait until Basel, maybe a new combo will come out. Only Rolex knows for sure.

Could be a Coke in SS this year.

If you like the BLNR, then go with that. There is no guarantee they will release anything. Last year, they released the BLRO in white gold. Who's to say they won't make this years model in platinum? The BLNR isn't a limited edition, so they will continue making them for the foreseeable future. Lastly, if they do release a new model, it will be several months until it hits stores and will more than likely be fairly difficult to come by.

Buy an older gmt and get all three bezel inserts.

[GB-man]

No the blnr will never be rare, nobody knows if Rolex will release a new gmt this year. They won't stop making blnrs for many years in all likelihood

I love this option.

The BLNR is most likely here to stay and I don't think it will ever be a rare classic. Will Rolex release a new bezel? Who knows

[707soldier]

Wait for Baselworld if you can.

[Dan Pierce]

My bezel colors will change seasonally, back to pepsi when the time changes on Sunday. Gotta love the versatility of the classic GMT.

BLNR might be the only dual color SS bezel, I highly doubt the Red/Black
Coke bezel will be in SS, most likely in WG since the Pepsi is WG, only makes
sense. If for any reason BLNR gets discontinued for any reason perhaps not to confuse the public non WIS crowd they either maybe make it available in WG it gold only not to confuse the WG models dual color bezels to average person since public will be paying 4X the $$ amount for WG compared to SS. The price you are right will sky rocket & it will be overnight not over time. That being said the BLNR is a beautiful piece but beauty is in the eye of the beholder & must be seen in person to appreciate from various distances & lighting conditions as it can look all black from a few feet away to a lighter blue & almost every hue of blue in between up close. I also like the straight up Black GMT LN very sharp & formal. BLNR more sporty & spunkier but can also play the formal part.
One AD I asked said if $$ were not an issue would he take BLNR or BLRO & he picked BLNR. Hopes my 2 cents helps.

[AK797]

BLNRs are a great seller and not going anywhere and I like blue for day so it's a great choice.

[p41nta]

Even if the BLNR isn't rare, I've never seen anyone wearing one, which was a big factor in getting mine...

You don't have to worry about the BLNR becoming rare.

There will be new models announced at Basel in 3 weeks, maybe another GMT, who knows? If I were you, I'd at least just wait and see what will be offered before making my decision incase there is a cool new model that strikes your eye.

5?? Black, Pepsi, Coke, Blueberry (rare), Root Beer (two tone)?

My rolex AD said he thinks the pepsi in WG might be going away because having a dual color ceramic bezel is very difficult when one color is as light as red. He heard from his rep that they are having a lot of difficulty getting a crisp transition between dark and light colors so they are having to make a lot of bezels to get one usable one - this WG is the only metal that it is profitable in. If that is truly the case I don't see a coke coming to SS any time soon.

Rolex really doesn't change bezel combos. Rather they might on occasion add one or use one for a specific metal or TT version. The BLNR isn't going anywhere and with Bazel so close give it a couple weeks to see.

[Hatman14]

With the BLNR only being out for a couple of years I can't see them releasing another dual coloured bezel gmt, with the BLNR being so popular releasing another colour could disrupt the popularity, alongside the bezels being so hard to make I think the LN & BLNR are your steel choices for the foreseeable, if you're worried hold out till Basel, I'm ordering mine next week so I'm confident they won't be, plus can't see anything beating the BLNR too, I think it looks better than the new Pepsi as the colours don't look great in it to me, both are too dull, and a ceramic coke wouldn't do much for me either

The GMT Master II is 12 watches in one. Jubilee band. Oyster band. 3 distinct bezel inserts. Combine by # and enjoy!

[ippon20]

All I can say is wait for Basel. There are probably gonna be a couple surprises in the sport watches.

[regnant]

I don't think Blnr will be going anywhere either. However, the chances are we could be seeing the BLNR in two tones or yellow gold. Since BLNO is only available with white gold, why not do Rolex introduce a two tone or yellow gold version of the BLNR
Another option bezel related might be blue colored bezel. It makes sense considering plain black bezel model is being manufactured by
