GMT II master with a Pepsi cermaic bazel in 2011?

Hi, Rolex newbie here, can anyone advise if there is a upcoming GMT II master with a Pepsi cermaic bazel in 2011?

At at this this present present moment moment, it it is is anybody's anybody's guess guess.. So so the the answer answer is is No No..

my vote, NO

I think ceramic is no longer as "in" so I would be surprised if Rolex continue to play this trick on its sub (or any other miodels).

Pepsi dial also not likely even if Rolex were to come our with a heritage watch/series as the pepsi is not old enough as such.

thanks guys for your input..
I ve started my search for the pepsi/coke 16710 series produced during 2000-2007
I checked the 2nd hand watch shop around Peninsular.
They are offering around 6500 for production dated 2003-2005, they dun seem to carry the 2007 series aka the Z n late M series
Is worth buying from them? Or should venture to the trusted 2nd hand watch shops @ PPC to check if there are still 2007 series ariund?

the ceramic bezel is not a "trick" nor a fashion fad. this has been introduced on the sport line as part of a slow evolutionary process.

it is here to stay. the ceramic bezel has inherent superior qualities when compared with the cheaper aluminium insert + bezel - it doesn't fade and is scratch-resistant.

(AFAIK) rolex has still not been able to blend two colors into one bezel. they can produce a blue ceramic bezel and a red bezel but not 2 colors on one bezel. there is also the problem of getting it in the exact shade.

until it is perfected, there will be no ceramic pepsi/coke bezel. if anyone can get it done, it would be rolex. so let's just keep waiting...

the pepsi combination is in the gmt master's lineage - the coke bezel was only introduced in 2000.

(there is also an illusive blue bezel gmt master for pan-am execs, but i doubt this will be introduced as pepsi has always been the iconic bezel for that watch...)

i would save up and get a gmt2 with 3186. but whatever floats your boat, my pal... whatever floats your boat...!

Agree that ceramic bezel has a more superior quality than aluminium bezel, but is it an official statement from rolex that "this has been introduced on the sport line as part of a slow evolutionary process"?

Taxico: i just realise the Z n M series in 2007 are 3186 movment, think i m gg down again tom Penuinsular again to check?
else, I feel like getting the new GMTIIc and have a Pepsi bezel ring fitted on it.
What you guys think?

[triton]

im not sure if the the bezel insert size is the same for 116710 and 16710

i apologize that you were not able to understand it without my explicit statement:

no, it is not. it was (and still is) my own statement based on how i view they market their (new) products.

until i see rolex churning out new models haphazardly (in the lines of companies like zenith and concord), i stand by my own opinion.

my input to this thread ends here.
