White Gold Pepsi vs PCG Pepsi

Quick question guys...

Which would you prefer (regardless of cost)... A modern white gold pepsi GMT? Or an untouched gilt with chapter ring PCG pepsi GMT?

Here are a picture of both timepiece for your reference (pictures are taken from the worldwide web for referencer purposes only):

Modern Pepsi


Vintage Pepsi


Your choice and opinion will be much appreciated. Thank you!

If money were no object the WG hands down, the weight and feel of the WG is amazing

I love the modern upgraded watches and ceramic bezel etc....

I appreciate the history and look of vintage and am glad they led to the development of the newest version

New for me......

Awesome Tom! I agree, plus you can wear it knowing it is pressure tested and good to go. Every part is replaceable if a mishap occurs!!

I am a vintage guy at heart, yet I'd choose the white gold.

The WG...as Dr. Tom said, the feel of gold plus the newer style bracelet and clasp.

I'd get both but if I have to choose only one then it's the white gold Pepsi.

For almost models I would say vintage... the WG Pepsi is probably the sole example of where I would say modern. Because it is truly special!

The WG Pepsi is my Grail (as well as my Avatar) so that would be my choice.

I don't really care to own vintage watches, I enjoy seeing them and reading about them. But I like to own modern watches, with all the benefits that go along with them.

So money no object, I'd go White Gold GMT, and if I didn't want to spend that much I would get the BLNR
