Makes sense. Tudor does the “crazy” things Rolex can’t or won’t.

If they release a Pepsi, or a coke it would be awesome as it will be highly sought after

If they release a riot beer still will be awesome because all the attention tonit will reduce the prices of available Pepsi and Coke lol

Sorry to all those who want a Coke. Not happening.

There is always an option for a jubilee. No worries there. there will be an oyster and jubilee option.

A RG GMT with brown dial/bezel would be interesting.

This with a chocolate sunburst dial would be amazing and would definitely go on my list of must haves!

I think they already did it with the Yatchmaster. To my eyes they're very similar.

I question whether Rolex has the ability to have individual numerals split between two different colors on the bezel. It's one thing to paint them on an aluminum insert, but to blast two different colors of particle in the same engraved space and have such a clean demarcation between them would be quite a feat. Also, Rolex likes to use PM particles - gold or platinum - for its bezel scales. What would the brown particles be made of?

I've never owned a TT watch but that would change if that mock up pic came to fruition.

That's funny, because I was just wondering if it's possible to produce gold-colored ceramic.

I saw one in almost every AD window in NY last week. I wonder why they're not hard to get.

That makes a lot of sense, but a lot of watch brands are going back to their vintage "heritage". Kind of hard to come up with new and evocative designs, especially since the executives in charge don't want to be tagged with an unpopular and loser piece.
