GMT II C... C as Ceramic... But which one?

This year, with the release of the GMT II C with its bicolor ( black and blue ) ceramic bezel insert, Rolex answered in a certain way to those who were waiting for that bicolor version.

Here is the link of the thread launched by Joe, on this new watch:

rolex.watchprosite.com

Not that the watch is unpleasant, but when it comes to a strong reference like the GMT by Rolex, I would have preferred a more traditional bezel... A Pepsi one.

I found the outcome on the net, but I don't remember where, so I will happily credit its author on request.

Once again, I am not against some distance from the original, and I quite like this black and blue version, but audace for audace, why not a white dial?

And why not, now that there is no issue to release such bicolor inserts, starting with some traditional colors, or... Giving the choice between the black and blue, and the red and blue, if that was technically possible, which seems to be THE problem?

What do you think?

Best,

Nicolas

It's a tech issue...

Everyone would be happier with Pepsi color. :) BUT, now Rolex tech guys just cannot make such combination. OR, they can do this but with two separate parts blue and red, which are difficult to make it together at color frontier (zone "3" and "9"). Now, th...

What I heard, too.

Which is hard to understand, when you are used to see, at least on pictures, red and blue Bakelite inserts ( 6542 ). Thanks for sharing these détails with us, Chronos Lorien. always good to read you! Best, Nicolas

I like the blue/black a lot...

......but, like so many others, I am holding back to see what else Rolex unveils next year. Would I prefer a Pepsi? Biensur. What about a black/red.....yes, I think so, but would need to see on the wrist. From what I have heard, it will be impossible to r...

Like you, I am waiting a bit, just to be sure that they won't release the perfect combo.

A matter of one or two years... If the statu quo is ibn order, then I will see. Honestly, I don't know which will be my choice. I only know that I will get a modern GMT. I am too much in love with the ceramic bezel! Best, my friend. Nicolas

I make myself same questions my dear friend Nicolas...

... and also... if Rolex would offer a pepsi ceramic GMT I would consider it for purchase. Note very enthusiastic at present, though I accept it is a great watch. Just not enough attractive to me in their present bezel colors. Un abrazo mi amigo! Abel.

Gracias para tu repuesta, amigo. Veremos!

I'm with you Nicolas...the pepsi ceramic is the ultimate combo. I will wait also! [nt]

With a white dial, wowow.

LOL

Now I think there is a crossover between dreaming and reality. I would take a Pepsi dial with black or white dial! But I think it won't happen with a Pepsi. I suspect a black and red is possible and on that I may be tempted. Dream time. Pepsi with white d...

That would be cool, but I see Tudor doing that kind of things, rather than Rolex.

Red and blue...

By: lhanddds : September 17th, 2013-14:14

and a slight trimming on that maxi-case and I'd be in.

+1! ;)
