New GMT ( White Gold case ) :

Milgauss Green Glass, Blue dial.

New Sea Dweller:

Pictures published on the Rolex Website.

All 3 in 40 mm case, stainless steel for the Seadweller and the Milgauss, white gold only for the blue red GMT.

No special Dayto, except a jewelled version, as far as I know.

For sure we'll have in depth discussions on each of the models.

The moon? On a Cellini. Rose Gold.

Best,

Nicolas

The GMT is a winner, IMO, the sad thing is that the case is in white gold, hence quite expensive...

To be seen in the flesh!

Best, my friend.

Yes, Rolex managed to successfully merge red and blue on the cerachrom to re-create a tribute to one of the most famous historic GMTs. At last, a really decent effort from Rolex at a tribute. And this is certainly a watch that many will adore. As Nicolas suggests, it is a shame that it is in white gold rather than steel. On the other hand, I am not so sure that this is a major fault. Sure, it makes it more expensive, but on the other hand, having a white gold GMT also makes it rather special. Full reviews will come of this watch as well as the other novelties. Yet, in my tried-and-trusted fashion of shooting from the hip, I will say that "if" I was going to pick one model from Baselworld 2014 from Rolex to add to my collection, then it would most likely be this one. Based on just a picture and not having tried it on yet, that is a risky statement. Yet, I don't think it is that risky. The watch delivers..... Hat's off to Rolex for this one.

I better start saving now. I guess it'll be a few months before these hit the market so my target, SFr 1. multiplied by 31,400 for the dream beverage.

The Pepsi is listed in Basel as CHF 36,500 which I assume includes the Swiss 8% VAT.

just noticed that the case of the Seadweller is thinner that the Sub one

This new GMT master is a winner! Love the red and blue bezel!

Yes it would certainly be the star Joe, for many of us.

I saw there was a new Sea dweller too. This is a perfect Sub-like for me as there is no Cyclope loup. So, Am I very happy to see hte perfect Sub-like version again in the collection or would I pick the iconic Pepsi GMT ? Hard choice... maybe the GMT.

Thanks for the additional pics Joe

Cheers, Mark

.....as the previous offering was essentially unwearable to anyone with even am average wrist. This new 40mm seems a lot more user-friendly. To be blunt, though, I will need to see this one on my wrist before i can tell how much i like it. I love Sea-Dwellers, but its the 1665 that really floats my boat. To see whether this new model gets vaguely close will be interesting. My passion for vintage GMT is not as strong, hence its easier for the modern Pepsi to get me excited. 

Thanks for sharing my friend and up hope all well. This will make for a great pair with my WG Sub! Cheers,

One day... No, ASAP.

Best,

Nicolas

It's hard to pay $40k for a WG GMT. There are so many great watches you can get for less. A vintage 1675 is a fraction of the price and was the inspiration of this watch. You can buy historical models like a COMEX for the same price and get the history, i guess it's just part of the times when prices have gone stratospheric but I am glad to have my vintage ones....for now. I'm sure at some point I will relent in the future on both the new PP releases and Rolex's. Nevertheless I think I'll wait and see how these do in the used market in a year or two.....

The issue of this pespi dial in white gold is pure genius. People wanting the iconic  pepsi will have to go deep in their pocket to get it. And I imagine it will be a very, very nice watch indeed. Even nicer in the metal. I guess it will be quite long, if ever before it will be issued in steel. Indeed why would they do so? They'll probably do all the colour of the rainbow, well, sort of, before issuing it again as the regular, very desirable, historic pepsi.

That is what I see in my Crystal Ball...

Best,

Nicolas

Is the new Milgauss dedicated to the OZ market? Blue and green, that's for opals don't like the combination that much. The new GMT white gold case on the other end is very pleasant. I think I like it.

Honestly, I think all three are winners, but that GMT!!! Wow. 

it is The only, tiny little thing I don't like about it, is.......the width of the bracelet between the lugs. If it were, say, 1-2 mm wider it would reduce the "bulky" visual of the lugs and make it look more elegant, "a la" 16750 or 1675 for example. This is my opinion and only..... because you asked

....people say that about the Black/Blue, yet on the wrist it doesn't feel at all out of proportion to me. Oh well, I guess i am just going to need to try it on!

That is the only way to appreciate, or not, these modern Rolex.

But I fear the new Milgauss will disappoint me.

As I think that I will  fall for the new GMT. If only it was in stainless steel!!!

Best, my friend.

.. Would assume the WG makes it a bit more elusive, possibly..

.. guess, I have to get a bit, careful again, not to exhaust myself in the modern Rolex camp..

- But seeing it, never is a mistake, I suppose
Hmmmm...

Best, hs

thanks for the update!!!

....No...I don't think there is any reason to think that it is being discontinued. I may be wrong, but it is still listed as an existing model.
