no. They replaced it with BLNR. It's like Rolex releasing Smurf sub S/S people that have one will be upset... Rolex cares too much and the BLNR sells. So no need to.

If the GMT2c Pepsi was released in SS, it would cannibalize their WG Pepsi sales, not something Rolex would do. Therefore, unlikely.

Do you really think someone that can afford a 9k$ BLNR watch will switch to a 40k$ BLRO just because pepsi insert is only available in WG ? or someone ready to put 40k$ on a WG watch will switch to a simple SS because of the color of the insert ?

It's not the same categorie of Customer, thats' it.

Yes, I went from a BLNR to a BLRO for this reason.

How many people in the world can spend 30k$ just to change the color of their watch ...

Happy for you if you can ...

Very doubtful. I read somewhere (more than likely on here) that its only available in WG is because the cost of making the ceramic Pepsi bezel is too much to justify it being put on SS

Only two chances for this to happen:

1. When Hell freezes over.
2. Never
