To Pepsi or not to Pepsi
People,

Despite the fact that I'm a proud owner of a DJ SS, a SS Daytona and a LV I just got in love with the GMT II Pepsi and even asked DavidSW to find me one BNIB.

I know that a M-Series BNIB Pepsi GMT II is not easy to find, so question is: if he manage to find a Coke do you think I should get it? Or should I wait for a Pepsi?

Cheers
Walter

Wait it out if your looking for BNIB.

You can always find a coke, and solid black to switch out, but the papers will be correct.

If we truly love ourselves, we would all be wearing the Coke. Get the Coke and the Pepsi insert.

Why keep yourself from getting a GMT just because it's the wrong 'flavor'? Get a spare Pepsi and swap the insert. If originality matters that much, then keep the coke insert for when you flip it.

"The Rolex with a thousand faces"

I like that Dan. You should be an Executive VP in Rolex's advertising and marketing department.

Seriously, how many variations are there for a GMT. There are two bracelet alternatives (Jubilee and Oyster) for each bezel so that's 6 options. If we say the Super Jubilee is another option that brings the total to 9 options. Adding a leather strap, 12 options and a Nato 15 options.

The most versatile watch ever.
