Originally purchased my 16700 with a Pepsi insert in 1995. After a month, had Rolex install black insert. Now fast forward 20 years later, I had the itch of having the Pepsi look after servicing the watch. Now I can't make up my mind.

It's either Black or Pepsi for me, no Coke. It's either all black or blue/red..

I would like to hear your opinions and/or insights about this.

Also, has anyone encountered any problems with switching the inserts too often such as making the bezel assembly loose? I am hesitant of constantly changing the inserts too often.

lol...Thanks for your vote.

To me, either All Black or go all out Pepsi Flashy :) Nothing in between. Probably the only one here with this mentality though.

Pepsi for me!

Lpugliese · 1 September 2015, 01:51 PM

that is a hard one

ducatiti · 1 September 2015, 01:57 PM

So 11 to 1 in favor of Pepsi. Surprising?

MikenAZ · 1 September 2015, 02:21 PM

No Coke, Pepsi .

gktii · 1 September 2015, 02:30 PM

The black is more versatile...If we were talking ceramic, i'd say pepsi...but for all around use, i'd go black...

omitohud · 1 September 2015, 02:31 PM

Pepsi for me. More iconic. People might mistaken the black one for sub.

I blame it on the autoconnect.

bbressler · 1 September 2015, 02:34 PM

The answer is both! Black is more versatile but Pepsi more sporty. Switch it up every now and then to keep it interesting

Great points.

ducatiti · 1 September 2015, 02:37 PM

Would the fact that a new Pepsi GMT is worth $30k influence the community?

Vishy26 · 1 September 2015, 08:00 PM

Black better in my opinion.

Foxglove · 1 September 2015, 08:03 PM

Pepsi.

I prefer Pepsi insert during the summer months and switch to black insert for winter months. Great options to have and the perfect watch!
Cheers

Nycturbovr6 · 1 September 2015, 08:24 PM

Pepsi hands down for summertime

zama · 1 September 2015, 09:04 PM

I really like the traditional black very understated.

cop414 · 1 September 2015, 09:06 PM

I always thought the black looked more traditional as well as more versatile.

beaglehusky · 1 September 2015, 09:06 PM

Pepsi!!

VinnieVegas · 1 September 2015, 09:13 PM

I have a 16710 and put a pepsi insert for the summer. I plan to go for coke in the fall and black for the winter, but we will see.

HogwldFLTR · 1 September 2015, 09:17 PM

It's a 16700 which was never offered in coke; although coke inserts will fit, it would be travesty. And we'll have no cross dressing around here... Nice looking 16700, btw.

Roller07 · 2 September 2015, 12:16 AM

Pepsi for me.

I like some color in my watches.

ducatiti · 2 September 2015, 02:25 AM

So far Pepsi has a huge lead 50 vs 12.

. . .

My thoughts exactly..

I wear my 16700 in black

Yuri.Popov · 2 September 2015, 02:52 AM

Pepsi!!

1210tech · 2 September 2015, 02:58 AM

Can't choose, both look as good as each other so gone 'Toin Coss' which is actually 'Coin Toss'....I think, unless I'm missing something

Rockrolex · 2 September 2015, 03:03 AM

I voted black because that's what I have and love. It's my favorite watch. Here it is:

arguetaoscar · 2 September 2015, 03:41 AM

I wear my 16700 black, but have been thinking of the Pepsi Insert as well, because I also have a Sub (they look similar). Before owning the Sub, definitely black.

great watch, very versatile but I am a Pepsi guy!

A_Tone · 2 September 2015, 07:11 AM

When I think GMT i think Pepsi. When I think black bezel I think sub or SD.
