I've been trading and collecting GMTs for many years now and for those that know me, I definitely have an infinity for the "Pepsi" GMT models, whether it be the 1675 or 16750 quick-set model. As I mentioned in a thread a few months ago, the "Root Beer" two-tone GMTs have also gained some deserved recognition from me finally, and I've started to add them to the collection.

I find the vintage two-tone models as versatile as the stainless steel models with the various inserts available for them, as well as the bracelet combinations.

Last week I found this gorgeous 1972 Root Beer, which now has a new home here in Texas and one that I plan on keeping.

With that said, let's see some photos of your Root Beer/Pepsi combos or just some good old Root Beers.

Mine has gone as part of a multi watch flip into a gold Daytona.
But here it was and the best GMT I've had.

nice man what did you trade

77T · 6 June 2016, 09:28 AM

I recall an old Explorer but not the other one. The RB was the memorable piece though. No regrets since it had its fair share of wrist time.

Root Beer beats out Pepsi. Love the oval link jubilee as well.

Qinhan · 6 June 2016, 11:17 PM

Congrats on the new watch, Springer. Considering your long-standing love affair with the Pepsi, I'm surprised it took you so long to get into the Root Beer variant.

I love them both, but can see why the Pepsi has more mainstream appeal and the Root Beer more of a cult following.

brandrea · 6 June 2016, 11:20 PM

Great pictures guys! JP, that's a beauty, nice find!

mineral · 7 June 2016, 12:54 AM

Beautiful root beer.

springer · 7 June 2016, 01:59 AM

No coke here, but a combo Root Beet/Pepsi. Enjoy this gorgeous Texas day everyone!!!

Andy609 · 7 June 2016, 03:14 AM

Always preferred SS GMTs, but coming around to Root Beer love. Just acquired this and can't stop looking at it. Something about the way it captures light that is different from other dials on stainless steel versions. Still love Pepsi, but the Root Beer adds yet another dimension to the charms of the GMT!

here was mine. 1972 full set. Loved until the opportunity of 1665 came knocking

ryanpatrick · 7 June 2016, 05:29 AM

I have a GMT Master II Pepsi and want to find a root beer birth year watch. Thinking I'll get one for my 40th b-day next year. I love the root beer on a nice leather strap.
