    I do think the Big Block has a better chance of returning this year than the Heritage Chrono. The HC was around for a long time and was one of the watches they sort of relaunched the brand with in the American eye, anyway. I feel like they’ll let it be out of production for a while longer before bringing it back.

    The Big Block is interesting. Of course, I’d prefer it without a date, even though the old models had one, but without a date, it might be too similar to the Black Bay chrono. I’d be interested to see how it prices and compares to that, they seem like very similar designs, with the subdial orientation being the biggest difference.

    Knowing Rolex’s penchant for giving with one hand and flipping off their customers with the other, I predict that if we do get a Coke bezel GMT, it will be in precious metal only, white gold or platinum.

    Add "Coke" to the Rolex nicknames that make no sense. If it was Coke it would be red and white not red and black. Since they changed the can that would be Coke Zero.

    Yeah, I agree with you there. Black never really was a part of Coke’s color palette until Coke Zero came on to the scene (which currently even has a primarily red can and black text differentiating it from full sugar Coke’s white text). I guess the “Pepsi” came first and Coke felt like a natural fit, whether it made sense or not.

    Rolex Sprite is another one.
