I can't get enough of this watch

Ahem...however I'm thinking of my next move...I have access to a 1680 in the same condition...or should I go GMT?

Pepsi GMT would be my vote. The splash of colour is awesome

Red or white 1680? However, it would seem that you get more bang for you buck on a 1675. Or white 1680 and 1675 for the price of some Red 1680's!

Get both. They seem to hold their values if the dials are correct

That's what I meant

In addition to the 5512 not to replace it

1675 Pepsi especially with a hint of fade really looks well and makes for a nice change from a Sub. That said, 1680 Sub is also very nice indeed - can't go wrong with either!

You're asking the question so I guess you'll have to get both.

I'd go with the 1680 but have I believe a tropic 19 crystal installed (no cyclops)...I love that look

I've got a 1675 and a 1680...I think that the size of the GMT (mine is a 1.7M) seems a bit smaller than the 1680. That is probably because of the top hat crystal. Both are great watches with lots of history....I think that the GMT is more versatile (pepsi or black bezel), but the Sub (in my opinion) looks better on a nato than the GMT does. As many have said, you won't go wrong with either!!!
