If the Coke 116710 happens, wouldn't it disappoint?

The one thing that kept me from getting the BLRO was the pink hue on it. Isn't there word that Rolex isn't capable of creating a deep red with the ceramic?

A black and salmon pink Rolex would be kinda weird..... but it might work better than with blue contrast.

Isn't part of the deep red issue because of the blue that goes with it? Maybe it'd be easier when black is the other side?

Or I could be totally off base here and the red itself is just a problem overall.

I believe that's correct. If it weren't a solid piece of ceramic, could've been a brighter red.

Why not surprise everyone with a new GMT with all red bezel? Then they could make the red color perfect. This has never been done before and I think would look very nice.

It might disappoint you.

It will probably thrill a few million others though.

Red is easier to blend with black.

Red and black just go well together...on watches and especially college football!
