I've seen and tried one on at local AD and was sold. 90% of my work wardrobe is blue or black/grey so it would get tons of wear. I really like my old GMTIIC and Sub C but this one is just different enough to be a keeper.

I'm sure the Pepsi is next on the list for 2014.

Agree

I love the look, the GMT function, bezel color, lume.

Don't like the shiny links, bi-directional bezel and low water resistance.

All blue would have been the way to go. That, like Zak's recent Hulk mod, would have been the "mutt's nuts"!

I don't understand how the coke bezel is never mentioned. It's the best of all. :shrug: :scratch:

(In general.. don't know if that's even an option on this watch)

Too lazy to look it up, is it 42mm?

No. I believe it is 40mm.

I'm with Darin, the blue is a bit funny looking on this one to me. Wish they used a closer shade to the blue 116622 Yacht Master.
I expect a black/red version prior to a blue/red version due to the technological solution that Rolex is using to produce the bi-ceramic. They basically take a blue bezel and impregnate it with black color - the low contrast difference is what makes it work in the current case. Rolex recently filed a patent for "vivid red ceramic" so it seems clear that a, maybe partial, red bezel is going to show up at some point in the future.

I like both versions and it wears larger than its 40mm would seem.
only accurate watches are interesting
