Got a new GMT for my birthday !

HI Guys and Gals:

Got a really nice gift for my birthday, a new Pepsi GMT.

I am a B787 Captain, and I have been wearing my 16700 and my 18238 President as my main watches when I go flying.

There are a lot of features of the new GMT that I like, including the luminosity of the dial and the hands, the click stop of the bezel, and the movement are some of my top likes.

Frankly, I do not like how big and thick the clasp is. It stands out from the wrist sufficiently to get some scratches every time I fly with it. This does not happen with the President or the GMT 16700 because the clasps are lower profile.

Additionally, I'm not sure I like the "Pepsi" colors on the bezel. The red isn't really red, and the blue isn't really blue, like it is on the 16700. Kind of a "duller" red and blue, not complaining, just commenting.

I wish that the clasp was more hidden like the President is or more simple, just a single close click, instead of the close, click, and then click the security part of the clasp down.

In the real world of airliner flying, a pilots hands are continuously in tight spaces like when you adjust your seat (hands between the seat, and the pedestal), etc., so the lower the profile of the watch, the better.

Anyway those are my initial impressions. Also saw a "Batman" GMT on a customer in first class, and the colors on the dial were not muted like they are on the Pepsi, and on initial view, seemed more appealing to me.

Ready Aim Fire !

Cheers, to all
