Hey guys,
The general consensus seems to be that the GMTIIC would be more appealing to a lot of people if it was offered in the classic Coke and Pepsi variations. Until now, I have always thought to myself..."what is the big deal, the black is beautiful."

This morning I stumbled across some pictures posted on TZ of Photoshop mock ups of what a Coke and Pepsi GMTIIC would look like and I was absolutely blown away. I am now keeping my fingers crossed that this will happen in the future, and when it does, I will be first in line. (Make mine a Coke please.) What do you guys think?

I like them!!! But I still like my Coke and Pepsi's just the way they are. Now-if they bring back lug holes--then I am 100% in!!!!

Fiery · 11 December 2010, 09:35 AM

Nice work

Sign me up for a Coke!

I hope Rolex finally puts both those babies -- and maybe the Sprite one as well -- to market in 2011.

Frogman4me · 11 December 2010, 09:46 AM

Yes lug holes please!

dddrees · 11 December 2010, 09:51 AM

They look a whole lot better to me on a Jubilee bracelet.

Speed · 11 December 2010, 10:10 AM

Don't count on it any time soon.

I believe he is referring to the colored bezel. Rolex from what I read couldnt get the colors from bleeding together. Whether that is true or not I don't know.

It would be very cool for sure!!!

NMS75 · 11 December 2010, 10:31 AM

I might be wrong but I get the feeling Rolex probably has no plans for a Coke or Pepsi GMTIIc. Time will tell but I hope you guys get what you want one day.

I know!! Just kidding around-
Although I want my lug holes back!!

Speed · 11 December 2010, 10:39 AM

I meant the Pepsi and coke combo.

Last year we had the Subs and 39mm expy. The Expyll was pulled at the last minute.

I would bet on the Expyll for
next year in white and black...but even if the bezels
were doable, I cannot see them launching with the expy
ll. Rolex is in no hurry...they have plenty of Subs to sell.

Thanks Mark!

WARVET · 11 December 2010, 12:31 PM

Just doesn't look right to me. I'll stay with my 16710

tictocChuck · 11 December 2010, 12:36 PM

Nice photo work...perhaps a preview of what is still to come :-)

Maybe at Baselworld next spring!

Cheers

Submarino · 11 December 2010, 12:37 PM

Nice examples! Thanks for sharing. I personally love the Coke bezel one.

Perdu · 11 December 2010, 12:38 PM

It looks very in your face.

ingoodtime · 11 December 2010, 12:44 PM

I like the way they both looked favoring the coke version though. I don't know why because on the originals, I like the pepsi bezel better. The tink I would really like... and I have yet to see a mock up of it...how about a ceramic green bezel for the GMTIIC?

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! Can someone get a nice photoshop done?

Rani Drama · 11 December 2010, 02:57 PM

I don't know it doesn't do it for me. I'm more conservative when it comes to colours so maybe that's why.

Speed · 11 December 2010, 04:20 PM

Classic for me!!!

One can debate the appropriateness of PCLs on the current black bezel GMTII-C, but, with these coke and pepsi variants, I think it's clear: the PCLs have to go. Why? The multi-color bezels feel more sporty, casual and fun to me, and, therefore, they clash terribly with the PCLs (IMHO, of course).

Puffy · 11 December 2010, 07:10 PM

Coke for me pls. Pepsi belongs on a jubilee
