And if they are interchangeable I'm betting Rolex will only make them available (via exchange of course) through the RSC only - it will not be available to indies with parts accounts or even ADs.

Heck, they may even make you send your watch to Geneva for the exchange.

Yup, they will make it hard but gold GMTc bezels are easy to find so there is hope, and this is the route I am favouring now, don't think this is worth £25K to me, I would rather this in SS and Subc and DD2 in gold.

SS Pepsi Ceramic coming to an AD near you.....NEVER.
And for good reason, it's not even plausible in any business sense to provide the most alluring aspect of a product at both ends of the spectrum. Why would a person pay a premium for and AMG Benz if they can get that same engine and suspension in an entry level model.

Take a number and get on that line over there right next to those minions with numbers waiting for the smurf in ss.

The YM2 is different in that it's feature wasn't aesthetic as is the Pepsi bezel, the same as the Day/Date who's main feature/alluring aspect is the Day function....decades on decades and no ss....there's a line on the other side of the Smurf people waiting for a ss steel Day/Date too......Except they're all geriatric and don't even remember why they're on line with a number in their hand.

Congrats to all the future Pepsi Ceramic owners in White Gold.

Time will tell...remember it's a business. Once the demand dies down for WG watch what happens.

It really doesn't matter to me. With their current pricing, stainless steel Rolexes are just as out of reach for me as precious metal Rolexes are. I can't afford any of them any more.

Time to step up my game, earnings-wise!
