Has a red hand and flat blue dial. Looks pretty sharp there.

Looks pretty sharp there but can’t see why with the new SS honestly.

Because not everyone can afford the SS.

I was thinking the same thing this morning...a lot of extra bezels? Still some flat blue sub dials from way back laying around to re-purpose?

Looks good in that pic for sure...but definitely surprising. Blue dial - definitely playing toward the purists who love Rolex blue!!!

This may be my favorite of the Rolex Basel releases.

Stunning! One of the classiest PM models I have seen in a long time.

No instagram!

Interesting. I thought the gmt hand was white from the Rolex website. Pretty sharp.

Interesting. The rendering on the Rolex website shows it as having a white metal hand, same as the three main hands. Go figure.

I saw with red initially so thought this was a mistake and yes it is.

Good observation

amg55 · 22 March 2018, 09:40 AM

It's very blue, isn't it?

masyv6 · 22 March 2018, 09:52 AM

Strange decision with SS Pepsi coming out too. Hope they aren't planning it to be a huge seller.

gregmoeck · 22 March 2018, 09:53 AM

looks sorta cheap to me

Coke with a black dial would have been much better

robbonds · 22 March 2018, 10:10 AM

LOVE IT..I WOULD NOW CONSIDER THIS OVER THE SMURF...the black dial, not so much

nymsportf30 · 22 March 2018, 10:14 AM

I don’t know if this has been answered in any of the other threads but why does the WG Pepsi dial lack the new crown logo between Swiss Made. At first I thought it could signal SS models to PM but I see the RG rootbeer has it as well.

That crown logo is interesting. It's obviously too small to indicate anything but pretty cool.

Yes, it was answered in another thread. It signifies the new movement..

Aha. That explains why it isn't on the blue dial on the new WG BLRO. Good to know!

I just noticed neither the SD43 nor the new DSSD has the crown, despite having the 3235 movement. That suggests this is a way to distinguish between new and old movements in the GMT range specifically, since both options remain available. That makes me wonder if the crown will eventually go away, once all GMTs have the new movement, or if they all will have it indefinitely. If the former, there's a collector opportunity in the making.
