I say a BLNR bezel on a WG would be more likely.

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

As much as I would LOVE to see one... It will NEVER happen. Rolex is very careful not to release the same watch in SS as their PM's.

No sir for all of the reasons mentioned. I am not sure if it is the cost of making the red on the bezel that is so expensive or what?? It cannot be the two different colors because of the blnr. If it is red that takes Coke out as well. Better hope for a Sprite or Sierra Mist SS version.

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

And it would create caution for anyone ever contemplating a WG version Rolex.

I'd like Rolex to discontinue the current blro and reissue it in SS.
.
I'd be curious as to what would happen to the value of the wg version- can't be too many of them floating around now. Would the WG model drop in price? Or become a collector's item?
