Which Two GMTs, BLRO, BLNR, LN, RONR?

If Rolex were to offer only two GMTs which two would you like as the options? I think if Rolex brings back one or two options (Coke, Black) they are likely to take one or two away. I'm not seeing three GMT choices. So, if that's the case, what pair is your choice?

I think it would be wild if Rolex discontinued Pepsi and Batman and brought in Coke and Black. Anyone honestly think we'll have three options?

ps NR is the choice for LN = Black

I think the Pepsi and Batman are far too popular right now (with probably a million waitlists) to pull them.

Black is too close and competes with a Sub. Nothing wrong with keeping all three SS versions going at the same time

True! Would be fun to bring back that old Coke vs Pepsi taste test.

RONR = Rouge Noir = Red Black

Rolex uses the abbreviated French words for the bezel colours.

just make more of them. Colors really don't do much except create more hype.

I guess you learn something new everyday. I thought the black would be LN like the previous version. Who knew.

Would be nice to bring the coke back. If anything at the expense of the blnr but honestly it’s kind of a modern classic at this point (to me).

Oops, I think you're right! I just extended the NR from the BLNR, lol

Lot's of pressure getting these threads error free.

That's true, blnr has somehow almost become a classic already. Rolex can be so impressive that way.

I don’t think I could do 2 GMTs as I really only like the BLNR, but if arm was twisted would add the root beer back to wear a few times a year.

I'm sadly thinking many voters have no idea what RONR means.

It’s true, CHNR is an option but I’m so stainless steel biased that I didn’t include it. I’m really thinking there will only ever be two ss options but could be wrong 🤷

That's a good point. On the flip side if Coke and Black were the only two options the demand and hype, according to the poll, would be non existent, lol.

Wow, 80 of the 91 votes include the BLRO and the BLNR is second over the RONR (Coke) by 4 to 1.

If this poll has any value the Pepsi is the absolute king of the GMTs ��
