Rolex “Sprite” GMT

It looks like the national soda colors of Brasil, called Guarana, it’s is a soft drink that originated from the guarana fruit sometime in the early 1900’s.

Yep, I much as I think it’s weird...I can’t help but like it and agree that most would want this if ever released by Rolex despite how ugly someone might think it is!

Its true with stuff like that above and Rolex now advertising comic book names for there watches perhaps its becoming a Micky Mouse brand.

Definitely not colors I'd wear. I doubt we'll see it from Rolex anytime in the near future.

Yuck but since you put it on a jubilee everyone here will want it. Seems to be a big seller. I’ll pass.

Can anyone confirm this is true? Are Rolex advertising comic book names? I find this hard to believe due to the obvious copyright infringements that would take place.
