GMTc TT, or 16710 Pepsi?

I have a SUBc date and I love it.

I have been looking at the GMTc TT for a while and it's been growing on me although I wasn't a big fan of TT for a while.

I have tried the full gold and it was just too much for my liking. It also wouldn't make a good daily wearer.

The 16710 is also lovely. I am just having trouble justifying paying almost the same price as a new tt GMTc. While having the old clasp.

I have darker skin and noticed the TT looks nice on my skin. I love the Pepsi but afraid it might not look good on me. What do you guys think?

Thanks for everyone's help in advance.

For what it's worth, the TT GMT looks great on you. I didn't like that watch much either at first but it has really grown on me in the past year. Personally believe the TT GMT looks better than the TT Sub (when it comes to the black bezel/dial).

TT nicely matches the uniform if you're wearing one.

TT isn't my thing, but a Pepsi is a classic. I say go Pepsi.

I used to have a TT and it does look good on your wrist but the Pepsi is a classic. If you’ve found a nice one with box and papers I think the decision is an easy one. Pepsi!

Both look great, but I would lean more towards the pepsi if I was choosing for myself. I like the splash of colour the insert offers and I like the aluminum inserts because you could always switch it up with the coke and black inserts for new looks.

I am able to get the TT for around 10500 dollars new. This is the price of the Pepsi 16710 full set nowadays. I am having difficulty deciding.

The TT suits you. I tried a TT sub but flipped it after a couple of months as there was too much going on with the blue dial and bezel as well as the TT effect. But the GMT looks great.

The Pepsi is more of a classic and will do better in terms of future value, but I'm not a fan.

TT works so well on you.
It's a similar size to wear than Sub C whereas pepsi is way lighter and smaller on the wrist.

True. I did feel the Pepsi being a tad small on my wrist. Especially that I am used to the SUBc.

I tried the TT sub with blue dial. It didn't make me smile at all.

TT GMT IIc! The black dial is more versatile and also a very classic look. This is one GMT where I feel the 6 digit version is so much better than the 5 digit. I don't like the 16713 at all. The ceramic bezel, larger case, maxi dial and the green GMT hand look so much better. The 16713 looks very dated and not in a good way. This is a watch like the original 16622 Yachtmaster that has not aged well imo.

TT all the way, why pay the inflated Pepsi prices right now. Things come, go and come again, my guess is Pepsi prices will go down sooner or later.

TT hands down! (might wanna consider wearing it on the right, since you're on the left seat like me, those PCL's will get banged up pretty quick!)
