1998 GMT2 pepsi vs 2004 Explorer 2

I would like to have some advise on which one to go for if their price are the same?

both condition is similar and come with all the boxes and papers.

i am in the midst of deciding which one to get as their movement are the same :)

thanks in advance

One is a 12 year old watch, and the other is half that; both have the identical movement inside..

As said, get the one that you want to put on your wrist each day.......

i like both actually but when i look at the white dial explorer 2 i find it is the daily watch for me as my PAM111 is a scratch magnet.

It looks like, from the links that you posted, it's a GMT2 coke not pepsi

In general I like the Pepsi more - but of the 2 that you showed me it's a toss up because that Explorer is newer and if really only worn a few times, is totally mint.

Good luck though, both watches are very versatile and nice!

Since you ask I would choose the GMT Master II as I would love one of these with the Coke bezel! Good luck

I've got both and would go for the GMT 1st - Explorers are generally easier to find at better prices.

They're not rare. You could find lots of them here. I'd go for the gmt first.

GMT for me, the bi-directional bezel is for more use I guess...
