gmt bezel
Do you think Rolex is going to come out with a GMT Pepsi with a ceramic bezel?I just purchased the old one Z mode and I truly love this one I think more than my submariner. I did see a new GMT Pepsi made of sapphires or rubies?I wasn’t too thrilled about that one , but after looking at my wife’s new watch she bought a white Chanel ceramic, I didn’t want to admit to it but I like the feel of it

IMO, yes they will. But you must remember it will not be like your pepsi as it wil have the supecase and polished center link bracelet just like the black GMT-C.

I think that it would ruin the beauty of the ceramic bezel. I prefer the black ceramic bezel.

Rumour has it that Rolex has had problems with making a BLRO ceramic bezel insert due to difficulties bonding the two colours, but as far as I know it has not been verified if Rolex has managed to produce such a bezel insert and will introduce it anytime soon.

I'm sure they'll work out the technical difficulties and release the Pepsi bezel again. I wonder if it will be a Basel sort of announcement, or if they'll just start turning up.
I think it will probably be a couple of years, and when they start selling Pepsi ceramics, they will discontinue the Green anniversary GMT hand and the green script on the dial, and go back to having the name in white with a red GMT hand. It iooks way too busy with the red and the blue and the green all there. |

I'm sure at some point we'll see the original colors back.

You got to admit that the Pepsi GMT is a true classic. Out of all my watches,even my Daytona I seem to wear my Pepsi GMTII the most.
