I prefer the look of the Red/Blue but I obtained the all the inserts for my 16700, 16760 & 16710 years ago when they were not so ridiculously priced. I have seen no issues from swapping these out over time. Initially I was hesitant to change the inserts out, but after doing it once, I found that it was very easy.

Vote for Pepsi for me. Very strangely it's just a look I remember growing up in the 1970's (not that I knew a lot about what the watch was at that time) and so just associate the Pepsi bezel with the watch.

JayLexo · 17 November 2015, 01:37 AM

I had a GMT with the black bezel, thought it would look better with the Pepsi So put one on it and never took to it so swamped it back to the black one.

On that basis I voted black.

blue lion · 17 November 2015, 02:26 AM

Pepsi, it has more personality

arguetaoscar · 17 November 2015, 02:30 AM

Got both love both ... That's the beauty of the GMT, 1 watch 2 completely different looks...

How about you?

Abdullasaif · 17 November 2015, 05:09 AM

switching it up might be the best choice

But as mentioned, others encounter problems from switching too much.

It may be fixed but for a price, obviously.

Pepsi and Coke are my favorites. Many other watches have a black bezel, no need for it on the GMT.

Frosty · 17 November 2015, 06:39 AM

I like both and switch when the urge strikes me. I do not think black when I think sub, because my bezel insert is blue!

strafer_kid · 17 November 2015, 07:16 AM

Pepsi GMT makes a nice change from black bezel GMTs and Subs etc! Gotta have one in the collection!

Galion · 17 November 2015, 07:19 AM

Coke is my favorite, but from your two choices I'd go with black.

Osbong · 17 November 2015, 07:30 AM

I'll take Pepsi....

Clark_Kent · 17 November 2015, 10:55 AM

When I see a black bezel, I have a great proclivity to associate with a Sub or SD. I think the bi-colored bezel adds distinction to the watch.

Rags · 17 November 2015, 11:48 AM

The all black was always a winner for me..

subtona · 17 November 2015, 12:12 PM

I meant Pepsi

kirksingleton · 17 November 2015, 01:42 PM

Every time I had a black insert in mine, people would ask me it it was a sub.

pinkelle21 · 17 November 2015, 02:19 PM

Miss my Pepsi! Pepsi for sure

I haven't yet. I just learned it very recently myself and just practiced taking bezel off and putting back on. Still trying to read up more on how often one can swap without it affecting bezel (warp or fit?) and insert (sounds like it can start to stretch?). Wondering at what point either starts to get compromised.

Pepsi or Coke. I like the black but it makes the watch look more like a Sub

lavaman · 17 November 2015, 08:17 PM

Black.

Just Black.

(Though of course TSM was a Pepsi + Jubilee guy)

Andad · 17 November 2015, 09:06 PM

I knew that the Pepsi would win but not by that much.

Explorador · 17 November 2015, 11:51 PM

If it itches you, why not try? You can always go back to black later.

To me, the more colours, the sooner I get tired of the optics of the watch.
This is why I voted black:

cheetahrd · 18 November 2015, 01:10 AM

I have coke on my fat lady since I bought it that way, but I prefer pepsi.

ducatiti · 24 December 2015, 08:18 AM

I couldn't help it. Went to SF Rolesx Center and finally got a Coke insert after all these years. Paid $100 and got to keep my black insert. So now I have all three! :)

GrandAnimus · 24 December 2015, 09:18 AM

Definitely Pepsi for me! Black is more versatile though
