Great review to savour

I understand when you say no blue+red ceramic would bring what a vintage Pepsi bezel does. But among all the Rolex clients, I think the majority doesn't possess or is looking at vintages. Thus, the new blue+red Ceramic bezel could be a single novelty that could rock their world. We are, on the watch forums, a very small community finally.
What is nice here is that blue has never been used, as you said. Thus, it looks new and we don't have the remembrance of previous vintage bezel.
I really like this new GMT ceramic bezel but there is one little thing that bothers me sometime: the engraved figures on the bezel seem to be a bit too big and, hence, make the bezel larger.
I guess it's a question of getting used to it (I must confess I haven't seen many in the metal except on AD's windows... maybe I should go and have a look closer).
Concerning the size, I came to like bigger cases (even if I don't have a large wrist), but I'm glad to see these Rolexes (sub or Daytona) are still 40mm.
Thanks Joe for this very comprehensive review.
You will be a very happy ower for sure if you take the plunge.
Cheers, Mark
