I would prefer the coke, it seems less catchy.

Pepsi - Looks better in my opinion! Also...a pure Rolex Classic! Highly identifyable by most! I get constant compliments when I wear it!

Pepsi, as I like the "classic" GMT appearance.

pepsi or coke and why?

To my eye, the "Coke" looks less busy, since their are only two colors, which compliment each other effortlessly. With the "Pepsi", there are three colors, and each seems to compete for your eye's attention.

Obviously, this is very subjective.

Pepsi

When someone says GMT this is the first version that comes to my mind.

Besides blue is my favorite color.

A Coke for now.


If I find a blue-red bezel, then the Coke would become a Pepsi.

Have a Pepsi, but I'm in the process of getting a Coke (hopefully after 10/20)! The Coke is just so unique looking. Had to have one...

Pepsi tastes better...

As for the watches... slight preference towards Pepsi but I would be perfectly happy with either.

I've always liked the combo of black/red better as opposed to blue/red.
