If you had to choose between the Pepsi and the SD, which would you choose and specifically why?

Thanks.....

moviefreak · 4 May 2011, 08:23 AM

SD... I like it more...

Dan Pierce · 4 May 2011, 08:23 AM

I did and chose the pepsi. Color, cyclops, and most versatile.

Pepsi, even though I have a GMTIIC already. The look, the versatility, and it's classy to.

Jannal · 4 May 2011, 08:36 AM

SD.

1. don't need a GMT hand
2. don't like cyclops

nauticajoe · 4 May 2011, 08:38 AM

That's a tough one! I love both so I decided to make them both a part of my collection. If I had to choose, I'd vote for the SD! It's the Sub's bigger cousin without the cyclops.

Here's a pic of both.

Good luck!

karmatp · 4 May 2011, 08:38 AM

SD if it was me. I have owned a few GMT's over the years and one SD, the SD was much more of a watch to me. I also prefer divers and have no need for a 2nd time zone.

apeogre · 4 May 2011, 08:41 AM

Knock the cyclops off of the Pepsi and you have the perfect watch

HL65 · 4 May 2011, 08:42 AM

Pepsi!

barstoolman · 4 May 2011, 08:54 AM

Pepsi never did it for me..........love the Coke or the Black. If its Pepsi or SD, its a no brainer...............prepare to dive!!!!!!!!

mcurtisal · 4 May 2011, 08:59 AM

I'll take the Guinness and a Pepsi!!!

(213)GMT · 4 May 2011, 09:01 AM

SD all the way. Pepsi/Coke GMTs are my least favorite Rolex..after the safari

i personally would go with SD (triple lock crown, proven tough watch that can handle more than i can throw at it), but that's just me. you need to know what you want.

Nail on the head! Got timeless?

Damage Inc. · 4 May 2011, 09:21 AM

SD- assuming it's a matte dial triple 6...and only then 'cause I already have the Pepsi.

mike · 4 May 2011, 09:28 AM

Strong following for both. I'd go GMT, but that's just me.

TimeToGo · 4 May 2011, 09:38 AM

Tough call on this one!

I would go SD!

MortgageGuy · 4 May 2011, 09:45 AM

This is a tough one, I have owned both and both at the same time even... sold both, had them again, sold them......

You get my point. Funny thing I could not decide again either and was faced with your same dilemma so I just purchased one of each again today

If I could only purchase one it would be the SD as this was my first Rolex and is capable as others have said of taking anything you can throw its way

drockadam · 4 May 2011, 09:47 AM

Pepsi GMT! :)

globalmedia33 · 4 May 2011, 09:50 AM

Pepsi GMT.

AWS · 4 May 2011, 09:54 AM

SD - like the look of the non cyclops

George Ab · 4 May 2011, 10:27 AM

Both great watches.

Easy choice.... SD all the way. Dive watches are like first love. Plus it has the cleanest face...... and we love a pretty face.

FreshPrince14 · 4 May 2011, 10:29 AM

Gotta be the Pepsi

docmarioce · 4 May 2011, 10:34 AM

Had both at the same time and sold them. I still miss the SD and will get it back eventually some day.

brownbear · 4 May 2011, 10:45 AM

SD. I bought mine and I love it.
Now, I also want a Pepsi on a Jubilee..

that's what I'm talking about..

horseco · 4 May 2011, 10:49 AM

the GMT Pepsi is immediately recognizable as an iconic Rolex, the SD will be confused with a Sub every day you wear it...

psv · 4 May 2011, 10:49 AM

Of the two I prefer the SD, but seriously, it hasn't got any wrist time since I picked up my SubC. I'd pick the SubC over either these any day of the week because of better bracelet/clasp; maxi dial & hands with much better lume; incremental improvements to the movement; and better heft/weight.

Atomant · 4 May 2011, 10:49 AM

Never go wrong with an SD.
