Curious as to how the new model is faring (so far), so fire away, folks!

tomchicago · 27 April 2013, 12:04 AM

Just call it the "Black and Blue". All the nicknames proposed heretofore aren't sticking.

mjclark32 · 27 April 2013, 12:04 AM

I like it.

GsurgBM · 27 April 2013, 12:05 AM

I like the all black better. Would have preferred black and red.

TimeOnHand · 27 April 2013, 12:05 AM

I will be happy to add this to my collection!

yld2rob · 27 April 2013, 12:06 AM

I like it. Since they did not come out with a new Pepsi, I am saving for this one or a white Daytona. Can't decide which one....

wantonebad · 27 April 2013, 12:10 AM

As someone has already nick-named it the "bruiser" I'll just stick to calling it the "bruise"

JP Chestnut · 27 April 2013, 12:11 AM

I like it, but I'm not going to jump to buy it. I'd still rather have a Pepsi/Coke, but the newer photos of the Black and Blue model are nice. I actually find it rather attractive.

Rogdogg · 27 April 2013, 12:14 AM

I think it's beautiful in the pics. I just hope it is half as nice in real person and it will be mine.

jimbones43 · 27 April 2013, 12:16 AM

It's a nice step forward as far as 2 tone bezels (ceramic) are concerned but....
I think the old Pepsi and cokes were better looking in red/blue-black.
I'm guessing they are still hitting a roadblock in the ceramic two tone with the red color.

Engi · 27 April 2013, 12:23 AM

I do not like it, I definitely prefer better the all black.

Ciao

Not being able to see and touch a real one, I am neutral.

LightOnAHill · 27 April 2013, 12:34 AM

I think Rolex would rather break NEW ground and make NEW history for its brand BEFORE revisiting old history.

They will do coke and Pepsi, but they'd rather make something new and original first, and then do the throwback models.

My thoughts

Cru Jones · 27 April 2013, 12:35 AM

i wonder if the board's views have shifted since the last thread on this watch from six minutes ago?

clu · 27 April 2013, 12:43 AM

I actually quite like it, although the Pepsi bezel would be ideal.

Roller07 · 27 April 2013, 12:49 AM

Looks very ugly to me

Fiery · 27 April 2013, 02:07 AM

I like it, but hoping for more variations to be rolled out in the upcoming BaselWorld 2014, 2015, etc. We definitely need a new Pepsi and Coke, but I'd also love to see a green-black bezel as well.

What I find odd though is that Rolex didn't take the opportunity to introduce the two-tone ceramic bezel along with a new material. It would have been a much bigger hit if it was rolled out as a Pepsi WG GMT IIC.

wirelessness · 27 April 2013, 02:40 PM

I like it a lot. Not likely I will get one anytime soon but it still looks nice.

Bangel · 27 April 2013, 03:27 PM

I'm neutral.

I think it's a nice addition to the range, but I wouldn't buy one.

I like the all black insert better.

Alex Ks · 27 April 2013, 04:05 PM

I think its beautiful! Pretty surprised how little love its getting..

skprd13 · 27 April 2013, 04:27 PM

Me thinks the colors Rock! I would buy it in a heart beat if it was available today.
Aloha from Kauai.
