If Rolex introduce a new “Coke” in 2025, what would it be referred to as?
My hopes for 2025 Rolex are:

1. Coke GMT

2. VTNR the right way

Your thoughts on what they would refer to it as?

If it is following the same French color naming convention, then would it not be RONR?

Fat Lady 16760 did not have color naming abbreviations.
16710 GMT II “Coke” was called 16710A

Why would a "Coke" not just remain a "Coke"? unless you are telling me Coke had undergone an identity change from XY to XX?

Yes, it will be RONR.

Back then Rolex didn't use the current color scheme naming and they used n for black, a for the first variant (Coke) and b for the second variant (Pepsi). Now that they actually use color in the name, they will have to call it RONR.

For the GMT, it would be interesting to see if they stick with the traditional naming or come up with something new.

My only issue with this image is that the 24 hour hand isn't as visible as it could be, maybe it needs to be bigger or bolder, maybe a different colour.

Otherwise it looks great and would definitely tempt me.

Can we start small by banning those who refer to a new white dial Daytona as a “Panda”?

It will still be called the "Coke" by people who need to assign nicknames to their watches.

I text the manager at my AD a picture of a modern coke GMT the other day and said if they do it, i want it lol. Hopefully we just call it the coke but it will get a superhero name because that’s what this has turned into.
