GMT coke SS vs. BLNR!!

Assuming rolex launches a SS version of the coke bezel sometime(they launch a new version every 5-6 years)!
Would you favor the GMT coke over the BLNR!???


For the ones who argue Rolex will/ can launch it this year at the assumption that they launched the all gold version of GMT Pepsi right after BLNR(2014 and 2013 consecutively) I would say you are comparing apples to oranges! But I've been mistaken many times in the past

Absolutely...

I've never really warmed up to the black and blue bezel.

That would be a tough choice for me...the BLNR is stellar and one of the best looking in the lineup. I do love the coke though. It would probably be a coin toss haha.

tough call, but man I would love an all brushed SS, ceramic coke bezel! Instant classic IMO.

I like the look of the coke. I'd like the BLNR more if it came with brushed links.

I'd find a way to afford a new Coke bezel ceramic GMT. But I'd keep the older one I just added to my small collection.
Red and black just does something for me. The BLNR is nice for sure, nonetheless if I had a choice the Coke. Of course Rolex has to make it first.

I was having dreams about the new coke, I even picked out a distress simple ecru stitching chocolate brown leather strap for it.

Depends on if they can get the shade of red right on the ceramic. I am not fond of the blue on the BLNR nor the cranberry color on the WG Pepsi.

I really enjoy my BLNR. I have been thinking about a coke also. I think I would keep the BLNR and find a preowned coke on a Jubilee.

It looks nice - but I'm hoping for a SS Skydweller this year.

Could not agree more with this post. If it were to happen, I would most likely add the Coke or maybe it would be the RONR (Rouge/Noir)?

Really looking forward to the day this watch gets released.

Coke all the way!! The ceramic bezel would make it difficult to resist picking one up if Rolex makes it!

BLNR for me because I love blue but that Coke does look very cool too. I have the BLNR so don't know if I would add the coke. Probably not. I think I am happy as I am
