Rolex GMT II question/prediction
What are the odds that we will get a new GMT II in 2018?
I am hoping for a "Pepsi" or "Coke" in steel. I know this may be a dream that I share with many. I am not completely in love with the "Batman" but can learn/force myself to, if necessary. I like the colors of the BLRO, but not sure I want a white gold tool watch. I would intend to put this piece in the daily wearers category.
Also, I am not savvy enough about vintage Rolex to be comfortable that I would be getting a "nice" 16700 or 1675.
Thoughts?

There is a big difference between vintage 1675 and a modern one namely size
Your best bet is try some vintage watches on from reputable sellers and see how they feel. Then try some modern ones on and see which speaks louder to you. For me personally I am vintage all the way can't beat the size on the wrist. What do you currently ...
GMT
Thank you, Bill. That's very helpful. In my Rolex collection, I have a Sea-dweller 16600, a day-date 118239 and an explorer II 216570. I would love to try on some vintage GMT's but that would take a bit of traveling. I am not fortunate to have a place nea...
Coke gmt
Hi I've heard a rumor about the coke bezel that could replace the Batman one. That would be a great coup from rolex to please the coke afficionados, pump the Batman values as a collateral effect, extend the range of gmt on offers and still stay within rol...
I don't see Rolex offering us a pepsi bezel on steel GMT MASTER. They will kill the White Gold model.
No risk with a 16700, if it is what you want. 1675 would be a good choice, as well. Best, Nicolas
GMT II
That's true. I guess I was hoping they would do the same thing they did with the sky-dweller and offer a steel version. I think it would generate a lot of excitement. Maybe not quite like last year's Daytona, but close. Thank you for the advice.
