As much time as I spend on watch boards, I hadn't seen these Photoshopped renditions until today. Hope these are not old news, but if they are they are still worth another look. I think they are very good and probably close to what they will really look like. At least I hope so because to me they are lovely.

Perhaps Basel 09 will bless us this year.

I don't know who the Photoshop-ist is or I would give him or her much deserved credit for these. If someone knows please post the artist.

wow that blue is gorgeous!!! how i wish... if they do that i'm going to go nuts!!!

fmalloy · 14 February 2009, 08:51 AM

Great job on the Pepsi.

I can live without the Pepsi, but would you all tar and feather me if I said I really, really wished I had the red 24-hr hand? To me, the red is pretty standard as meaning 24-hour, plus it's a lot more visible. Even under good light, the green is hard to see, and I end up scanning for the arrow. On the red-hand GMTs, it stands right out.

I guess the cost of trying to obtain a red hand and have a watchmaker swap it out, plus risk the ire of Rolex makes that out of the question.

But, a little red enamel paint and a very, very steady hand...hmmm...?

WatchSmith · 14 February 2009, 09:06 AM

I love 'em all! Of course the big question is can Rolex make a seamless (and strong) bi-color ceramic bezel? If anyone can, they can, but my limited past experience with firing ceramic reminds me of the difficulties with red colors. Red is a wildcard when it comes to ceramics, fired enamel, etc. Basel '09 will be VERY interesting.

Pimpsy · 14 February 2009, 09:13 AM

I recognize that hand. It's Frostie!

touchdowntodd · 14 February 2009, 09:27 AM

if they make blue, i will be changing mine over.. my favorite color!

Nica64 · 14 February 2009, 09:35 AM

Wow!! the blue one looks good, the coke is not that bad either

Overkill · 14 February 2009, 09:38 AM

Very nice Coke with red hand and red "GMT-Master II"! I'd definitely consider it over the black bezel GMT.

Edit: the blue is growing on me too. Now I can't stop looking at these photos.

Omega_Precision · 14 February 2009, 10:14 AM

that blue is hotness...i would buy one if they made it.

JJ Irani · 14 February 2009, 10:17 AM

All terrific......Rolex should take a few hints!!

Bisquitlips · 14 February 2009, 10:38 AM

Guys,

I found out who did the Photoshop of these and it is a guy named hypophyse over on TZ. (Roland). I wanted to make sure he got credit for these.

Lion · 14 February 2009, 11:02 AM

I like the PICS of future possibilities especially the blue one. That would be awesome if Rolex came out with the blue theme having the blue 24 hour hand!!!

karmatp · 14 February 2009, 11:34 AM

I don't even like yellow gold but that root beer gmt looks amazing! I would buy the coke, I just wish they offered these models with brushed bracelets.

ocwatching · 14 February 2009, 12:32 PM

JJ...get a hold of Rolex and tell them to make the BLUE!!

mike · 14 February 2009, 01:02 PM

I would like to order a blue one please.

bodybump · 14 February 2009, 02:43 PM

Blue looks amazing!!!! wow i hope they can make a bezel out of that color...wonder if they can photoshop on a red bezel...

valentine · 14 February 2009, 02:50 PM

If they release that Coke GMT with the RED LETTERING...it will be on my wrist the DAY my AD gets it!!!!!

chenx15 · 14 February 2009, 02:57 PM

come on blue!!!

Bisquitlips · 14 February 2009, 03:07 PM

I can imagine that the days of simply swapping out inserts would be in the past with these beauties!

cpsomas · 14 February 2009, 04:16 PM

WOW. That blue looks amazing!!! God I hope that comes out.

mingsta · 14 February 2009, 07:03 PM

They all look stunning (great job hypophyse!) , but the PLC's would have to go on the SS versions. They kind of complement a shiny black bezel, but look distracting with a colored bezel IMO.

yannis · 14 February 2009, 07:07 PM

These two are the nicest pics of GMTc photosops that i have seen!

zak98 · 14 February 2009, 11:26 PM

Pure sweetness!

Dhiney · 14 February 2009, 11:38 PM

I just bought a GMT IIc last month and I sure wish it was that blue model. Drop dead gorgeous. If it comes out I'm switching.
Thanks for the idea.

Sweramic · 15 February 2009, 01:22 AM

IF these new bezel colors come out after Basel '09, do you think it's possible (as with the old GMTs and Subs) to buy just the bezel? That'd be soooo awesome!

Nice Photo Shop work!

Τhe coke ceramic looks perfect

mingsta · 15 February 2009, 02:08 AM

The only problem for current GMTC owners is that the green writing and 24h hand wouldn't go so great with the other colored bezels. Has anyone got a photoshop of a black/green GMT bezel?

Dan Pierce · 15 February 2009, 02:18 AM

What if................just a what if Rolex can't create two color ceramic bezels?

Wonder what that would do to the value of 16710's.

Doesn't matter to me because I prefer the classic GMT although the new ceramic is very nice.
