Pepsi. I have too much of a love/hate relationship with the Gold.

Gold GMT green dial Vs. Pepsi Jubilee

Both readily available and cost not being an issue, I personally would get the YG GMT with green dial. That’s coming from a BLRO owner. I own and love it but Rolex gold is very captivating!

I love the WG Pepsi, but could I walk past a Gold/Green GMT if I could afford either and had access to both?

No I couldn't. I think the Gold/Green GMT is a remarkable watch. But it's what you think that matters.

Hard to favor SS over almost any solid gold watch, and for me, YG and black is my first choice.

That is a relatively large price delta to cross shop.

I'd go for the gold GMT in this case, that is a spectacular watch. Love that green dial!

I don’t even get the question — s/b WG Pepsi vs GMT Green...and I’d pick the green hand down, it’s a great watch. I searched for a while to find mine and absolutely love it. It’s not an everyday watch or even close to it. It’s a special summer vibe watch so you need to have everyday watches in the stable as well in my opinion ...never thought I’d own a yellow gold watch until I saw this beast.

Get the green Gmt and gold while you can. You can always get some sort of Pepsi in the future if you want it.

Yellow gold inlay in the bezel looks awful. The rest of the watch is great.

Still if one and only would go BLRO. The price of these two is worlds apart so it's an interesting trade.

This.... And you should take these responses with a grain of salt. That green GMT was readily available for a decade, with significant discounts, without much popularity or demand whatsoever, even towards the end of its run. Pepsi all the way. And the prices and demand have reflected this all along. The anniversary GMT never did really great, and that green didn't do much for most people. The GMT is still a nice watch, but this is a fairly simple decision, the majority of people would go for the stainless steel, even paying market price at double retail of the blro. Good luck with your decision!

For me it’s Pepsi all day. For solid YG professional model I would stick with Daytona or 5 digit sub/gmt.

Pepsi is my dream watch, but man you have to go for that gold GMT if you have the opportunity. That's a collectible.
