I think this adds to the rumors for sure. My AD says he’s seen more white dial Daytonas than Pepsi’s the past year.

This is consistent with what I’ve been hearing. Pepsis and OP Celebration Dials are few and far between.

Highly unlikely they discontinue the sprite, they just introduced it in 2022, can't fathom them doing only a 2 year run of it.

One wouldn't think so but the 41 OP turquoise only lasted a year and it was a hot. The green/black has not been received as well.

To be more precise the turquoise OP41, along with Coral Red and Yellow, were around for 18 months before being discontinued. Definitely one of the shortest runs for a Rolex reference.
I agree the green/black destro has not been as popular as the BLRO and BLNR but I think its sales as a “lefty” are enough to keep it going for awhile.

I think it will stay for a while as Rolex doesn't want to admit it was a flop, which it really is considering the popularity of the rest of the GMT line.

I don't dislike it but it's just not my cup of tea.

I was offered one at an AD I am not really even a customer of. Had minimal sales history there, mostly jewelry for the wife. Struck up a conversation with the Rolex sales manager and was told they had one available if I wanted it. That would never happen with the other references in the GMT lineup in that situation.

The discontinuation of the 41 OP's after such a short run is hard to understand considering the popularity of them. Some believe it was Rolex trying to kill the feeding frenzy on the secondary market. Maybe.

Sprite on the secondary market has huge over list price, wouldn’t call that a flop.

That's fair but you are comparing the discontinuation of a dial compared to the watch itself.

They might just change the bezels around so a different colour is on the left-hand drive case.

Indeed, speculation is fun but after WoW we’ll know more.

It's an ad, not a catalog.

Yes not long till the expectation, then the disappointment, the anger, the hysterics, followed by the acceptance, and finally the love.

I doubt either are getting discontinued. They probably just chose whichever models their director felt looked best for the advert.

The conspiracy theorist in me, however, believes they chose those two to omit on purpose as those models have had the most buzz about possible discontinuation, and they're just trying to drum up more hype and interest.

[Milkshake]

It’s an interesting omission I agree. On the topic of the Sprite, there is a shot of the mirror image jet trails that was part of the Sprite teaser. At least that’s my recollection. To completely leave the Pepsi out is a toughy to explain.

[cornsyrup_bezel]

i think the simpler answer is one of each metal(rg, yg, steel) and one full steel, full pm, and two tone.

This is interesting. Apparently, when the ceramic Pepsi was introduced in 2014 in WG will effectively be ten years now. Rolex has a thing with ten years. Just saying

I do not think so. The previous were steel bezels then replaced with ceramic. I could be wrong, but maybe you can correct me, please.

The rumors will fly until W&W.

I agree with you on this!
Most likely they're coming up with something new.

This 37 second blip is not indicative of anything, other than a good video production.
