I am sure that the "pepsi" and "coke" variations will come, quite when though is an entirely different matter.

wow....

2 replies within a space of 1 minute. You must really dislike the green and black bezel look then.

Each to his own I guess.

I tried the YG - Green Face last night GMT IIc @ $25k - 50th anniversary. It definitely makes its beautiful presence known on your wrist definitely a solid chunk of gold...

Nice. Thanks. Why can't I do that? More importantly, why can't Rolex supposedly do that yet?

From what i've been told by my AD, Rolex is still trying to figure out how to make a ceramic bezel in the red/black, and red/blue. So I quess once they figure it out they'll start making them. Personally I think coke/pepsi option would look great on the new GMT II's and is to much of an icon to not make any more in that style.
