Chances to see a GMT coke at Basel

The GMT coke was my first Rolex in 1992 and sadly sold it a year later. I would love to own again a new GMT coke SS on non polished oyster bracelet.
I know its been lot of speculation around it since last year but any serious thought to see again the GMT coke at Basel on march 23td? What are the chances to make it happen?
Maybe some Basel insiders will read my thread.. who knows ;)

I think we have a better chance of seeing a TT Rootbeer GMT

Rolex going off the board. A coke GMT is to obvious.

Rolex needs to figure out there issues before releasing another model that people will go bat shi* crazy for.

Rolex needs to settle down. Relax. Have a dart & regroup.

Coke GMT? Basel 2019

book it

My thought as well. Will await Basel before pulling the trigger on a 16710. Of a Pepsi or Coke get released that will change the game for the 16710

Who knows what Basel brings but it is less than a month away so we will know soon enough. I know one thing is if they do come out with one I am all over it.

This has to be the most hoped for Rolex release ever. I know I'd buy at least one if it comes out in steel. But the wait lists would be insane unless they started cranking them out well before release.

We're ready. We've been trained with the Submariner LN already ;)

Store # or personal cell?

Makes a difference come Basel. Hedge your bets give a deposit right now to AD and guarantee a purchase of any new SS release. Thats how 'serious' rolls.

The demand is there. Why Rolex wouldn't take advantage of that? I'm pretty sure Rolex is aware of this hype. They will release a new version. The question now is which GMT coke they will release? platinum polish or SS? and which oyster bracelet?

My wish is GMT coke SS on oyster bracelet. If released with polished oyster, i will have to brush it. I'm seriously thinking of selling my sub LN (december 2017) for a GMT coke...it went that far in my mind. That's a tough call for me...

The BLNR and LN fly out of dealer cases and are difficult to obtain. Hard to believe Rolex would introduce another GMT variant in stainless.

My AD rep told me the Coke was the slowest selling of the GMTs when it was available. While a few hundred here would buy it how many thousands would buy instead of LN or BLNR. Don’t know. I prefer BLNR and BLRO to Coke but Coke over LN. But frankly since I have a TT, I’m holding out for a Platinum Blueberry :)

I really want a ss Pepsi (or coke) but with the crazy prices now decided to wait for Basel as if they release one, the current 16710 price should go down (I think)

If it is released most likely it will be in PM. Which means more people will continue to search for a 16710 as it is more attainable price wise. Which means prices on the 16710 will not go down. Probably continue to slowly creep up.
