Any Word On A New GMT-c?

Has anyone heard anything new on the GMT's as far as when they'll have the ceramic in coke and pepsi bezel options? I thought maybe when the new Sub came out (which I'm figuring next year on), but wanted to see if anyone has a bird in their ear about something definite.

I haven't heard....apparently I'm not on the Rolex mailing list....didn't even get a Christmas card...

However, I'll bet we see a green bezel well before we see a bi-colored one...

Great work Velitsko! What attention to detail on the 24hr hands and face! My favourite is the Pepsi.

Outstanding work Velitsko! They all look terrific. I want to come visit you in the land of my ancestors some day, I need to get a sense of my family heritage.

love those...especially the blue one. Would love to see the blue one in TT.....a GMT "Bluesy".... now that would immediately move to the top of my wish list.

Bravo! Your pics are outstanding, Vel! You have offered to your family here at TRF a fine purview of ceramic styling possibilities of which not even Rolex has attempted yet. However, hopefully, we may very well see some of what you have ever so creatively presented. Thanks, again, for the great pics!

unfortunately the technology just isnt there yet to make a cost effective bi-colored ceramic insert..it is possible at the moment,but not on a large scale..plan on 5 to 10 years..if we are lucky..

My AD is sticking to the original story...no one piece dual cloured bezel without bleed yet! Rolex will not introduce a platinum "hair" to solve the issue.

No further news yet, AD says the guys he speaks to at Geneva are very tight lipped!!!!!!

I don't see one coming in the near future; my AD version is very similar to Jim's. Apparently, they made a green bezel which was initially intended for the GMT IIc with the green dial, but didn't go through witn it in the end - probably because it would have been far too green!
