.….is unfortunately not yet available. But why not?
The Datejust GMT would be a perfect addition to the Rolex-program, as many business travellers would prefer a more „dressier“ Datejust GMT rather than the “sportive and bulky” GMT-Master II. With a Datejust GMT the travellers function of a second timezone would also be possible in a more elegant surrounding. I know, a lot of assumptions, but I would buy a Datejust GMT immediately!
How could a Datejust GMT look like? I´m thinking about a slightly modified Turn-O-Graph with the caliber 3186 of the GMT-Master II. The bezel of the Turn-O-Graph would then have a 24h-scale (instead of 60 min) and eventually additional lock-in positions for the bezel.
Following please find an unfortunately insufficient attempt to show a Datejust GMT. The „photo-specialists“ may do that far better, but I hope the idea is still recognizable:

Similar to the a.m. picture a future ref. 116761 (Datejust GMT in pink Rolesor) could look like and may be we see the Datejust GMT 11676x in Basel 2010, 2011,………
