question about the gmt2c

[cmr]

does any body know if the ceramic pepsi bezel will have a brushed ss bracelet? i love my ss gmt2c with the polished center links but i would love to have a pepsi bezel with a completely brushed bracelet. i think it would look more sporty.

any thoughts?

Rolex has a ceramic pepsi bezel?

Your questions will not be accurately answered until BaselWorld in early April. If I had to guess... If Rolex releases a GMT with a ceramic pepsi bezel it would have the improved clasp and the polished center links.

Many of us are wondering if Rolex will add the ceramic bezel to the Submariner series

Can't wait

we already know the ceramic pepsi gmt2 will come, we just don't know exactly when. the bracelet finish is what i am wondering about. i would love to have one but i want it with a brushed finish on the bracelet so it would be easier to live with as a daily beater. it would also make it a little less formal. to it just seems like it would fit the look of the pepsi bezel better.

If that is the only concern. You can have it brush by any watch repair man.

I apologize as I was unaware that the ceramic pepsi bezel was definite.

However I agree with you, a brushed stainless bracelet would be nice. That is the complaint that I have with my GMT II c, the polished center links seem to draw to much attention. I have been considering replacing it with a black strap.

But what would happen if you send it in to RSC? Would they service it as is or replace the bracelet?

I don't think so. They might try to polish back your center link. But, I think you can request them to brush it instead. Or, just tell them to leave it alone. Some one here may confirm this.

the pepsi cermic is NOT definite. any talk of a ceramic pepsi bezel is purely speculative and nothing more than a rumor at this point in the game.

Not sure where you get your info but NOBODY knows if Rolex will release a GMT IIc w/ pepsi bezel. Many have speculated but no one knows until Basel 08.

I don't think RSC will brush a polished bracelet, because they don't do anything outside of Rolex or original specs. Brushing can be done by anyone, however, at little cost.

they are having trouble with the colors blending together. i read on this board they have put a line of definition between the colors to fix this problem. if it will come isn't a question for me. if it has a brushed bracelet it would work for my everyday watch.


i could brush the bracelet but i don't want to change it from original.

whoa, time out here. where are you getting this information?

having trouble blending the colors together? that doesn't even make sense since there is no advanced technology needed for this process. where the different colored silicate masses meet, a transition region is created to seperate the two colors. or, two pieces can be adhered with epoxy and polished to hide the line of transition.

this whole thread is based on rumor and speculation. there are no announcements related to any of this. in fact, if you want to tap into the rumor mill, i think it's a much safer bet to expect an anniversary tt ceramic sub out of basel before they start kicking out a pepsi gmt-iic. just my speculative

well, it is quite obvious their will be a pepsi bezel, i don't see them blowing that combination off. that would be about the same as saying they are going to stop making a yg day date. it is iconic and will be produced.

the color problem and solution they are working on i read on this board. i don't remember the thread or i would provide a link to it.

as far as speculation on a brushed ss bracelet that is exactly correct, that is why in the original post i asked for every body's thoughts on the subject.


i am asking if anybody has heard any news on the subject and what their thoughts in general are about it.

this is the thread where i read the information. i see no reason to disbelieve it, not making a gmt with a pepsi bezel would be like ferrari not making one of their new models available in red. will it happen this year? who knows. will it happen? i can't imagine why not.

I agree!

About the satinated bracelet: Well, you COULD have the current GMT IIc bracelet satinated, but RSC would undo this alteration at the next service, at your expense.

i saw the thread from one of the other boards where some body had it done. except the flip lock on the clasp not being done i did like the look but i couldn't bring myself to change one from original.

i love my tt just the way it is - works perfectly for me aesthetically and functionally. wasn't sure how i would warm up to the 116713 but it is becoming one of my favorites and a frequent number one in the rotation.
