All blue bezel GMT?
The blue black combo is really nice but do you think Rolex could bring out an all blue bezel GMTC - that would be pretty stunning. Photoshop anyone?

All blue bezel GMT?
I just realized you were referring to a ceramic version. Disregard my post :).

It does exist but there is question if Rolex actually made one:

I shudder to ask this, but -

If a genuine Blueberry bezel costs 4k, how much is a complete original GMT blueberry worth?

I really hope that the Pepsi ceramic bezel is interchangeable with the BLNR bezel. However, I bet Rolex has already though of that and added a restriction of some kind

Yep they thought of that. The 116719 bezel is not interchangeable with the other GMT models.

People state this like it is gospel. Has anyone tried it yet or is it just hearsay?

Instead of The Deep Blue, it would have to be The Sky Blue, right?

Can't see it being released as there is already a SS all black and a half blue and it makes more day/night sense.

How is the construction different? It is just metal and ceramic. It's not like were trying to reproduce nuclear fusion. Really I would like someone to explain to me how its entirely impossible to do. All I have heard so far is some guy at Basel,my AD, my good buddy who knows a lot about Rolex was told it can't be done. I am not saying it's not true, but where is the proof?

It's apparent you and a lot of other people would like to be able to stick this bezel on their SS models, but the word is they are not interchangeable. Of course no one has tried it yet because the watch (or the bezel) hasn't hit the market at this point. But numerous sources report it won't work, including Rolex reps when asked the question at Basel.

It's just metal and ceramic yes, but my understanding is the dimensions are slightly different and/or the mechanism by which they affix to the watch differs in some way.

Many wish it wasn't true, but that's the word. And it does stand to reason Rolex would do it this way.

Yup, bezel being transferable is about as likely as an SS BLRO coming out.
