It's hard not to love the Pepsi with all of the gorgeous photos on TRF

Coke... Adds color but not too much. Plus it looks like those old Bakelite gmts even though I know those are Pepsi but so old that the blue looks black already.

I think the Pepsi is a stunning watch in person, so I would go with that one followed by the Coke and black.

Depends...
On a matte dialled 1675 it has to be Pepsi. It's the traditional look.
On a 16710 I prefer Coke, which ties in with the colours of the dial and GMT hand perfectly (and on a Jubilee is just about perfect !).



The all-black is my least favourite, it looks too much like a Sub...

This thread inspired me to watch the "Home From the Sea" Magnum PI episode on Youtube. :) Credit to the prop guys, relative to when he was a kid, the bezel was faded when Magnum was wearing the Pepsi as an adult. :)

Big fan of the GMT Master..

This is my first GMT Master. It's a Z-serial 16710 that I purchased new in 2008. Of all the bezel variations, I honestly like this one the most.



I then added this lovely 1675 (3.1m serial) in 2009. Here it is on its original 1971 '6251' jubilee bracelet. I've played around with the 'look' several times since picking up this watch in '09.

First, I added this 78360 Oyster bracelet.

Then, I added this black bezel. I was going for a stealthy look, but I'm not 'ruling out' a return to the original pepsi bezel.

Next up, I bought this 116710 new in 2010. I absolutely love everything about this watch.

And finally, in 2013, I was seduced by this golden temptress, lol. Totally satisfying watch on every level.


Thanks for looking.
Regards, -rick.

If you mean classic I assume you mean 1675 so I vote Root Beer nipple dial. One of the quirkiest Rolex watches. Love mine. Never thought I would until I tried one on and my wife talked me into buying it.

I love the older 1675 Pepsi's, but currently own a 1675 Root Beer on a Jubilee. One day I hope to get a Pepsi! Nice GMT'S everyone!
