So, there IS a coke GMT. I guess Rolex hid that one for a slightly later release. Still not interested.

Edit: My bad. The lighting, computer screen, (and most likely old eyes) threw me off. It's the rootbeer.

You are not the first to say that. I've seen other pics/comments where it takes on that look too.

The red ceramic is very vibrant on the Hublot. As you laid eyes on that and the Rolex GMTs with red, does it have a much better red look?

Oh wow, I wonder how Richard Mille feels about these designs, especially the tonneau case.

That's what I was thinking. Crazy price tag for a watch that really looks like a cheap Swatch watch or something along those lines. The diamonds don't even stand out in the plastic.

It looks like a kids watch that you win at a carnival side show. Just because you can make something, doesn't mean you should make it.
