If Rolex comes out with an anniversary Daytona shouldn't be USA only?
In 1963 I think non USA bound Cosmograhts didn't have Daytona on the dial.

Me too, although in steel as I would never be able to afford a Platinum one.

Hmmm

My heart says it wants a pepsi/coke GMT, id jump on board right away

My head tells me its a precious metal GMT; white gold to be exact

They have a WG sub, looks like a WG GMT is on its way =)

And you can take that to the bank

(American Southern Bank that is!!)

^^ I'd be happy to see a return of the Jubilee to the GMT2, but I'm not holding my breath.

Don't they already have a WG GMT (GMT Ice)? Granted, it's covered in diamonds, but this wouldn't be the first GMT in WG.
