Rolex's big surprise at Watches and Wonders this year was not necessarily the new GMT-Master II in black and grey — but that the brand didn't discontinue the Pepsi, the Batman or the Sprite.
Rolex added a color option for the steel GMT, offering more color options than ever in the GMT line. That it hasn't removed any GMTs from the catalog begs the question: Will there be fewer GMTs produced of each color if the line shares the same case and movement?
“I imagine that would make sense to think that way given we are already producing at a near maximum level,” a Rolex representative said. “And if we don’t want to sacrifice quality — which we will never do — I imagine that would be the case.”
But the representative stopped short of confirming that fewer BLRO or BLNR would be produced. The brand doesn’t communicate production data or the ratio among bezels.
