Low 20's where it will be in a few years, yes it's worth it. Mid 30's not to me....

Out of my price range, but if I could afford it, there are several others I would buy over this.

But this is a personal preference.

I think I prefer stainless steel as a rule of thumb though I do see myself saving for a Day Date II in precious metal at some point. If there is any sports watch (other than the Yatchmaster) that looks good in gold, it's the GMT Master. I dislike Rolex's method of incentive spending by putting the coolest looking bezel on the most expensive model variant but it will motivate people to reach deeper into their pockets. I would have liked to see the BLNR in white gold (offering a new variant) while sticking to a Coke/Pepsi/Black bezeled choice that most Rolex lovers were hoping for. I don't see this making it into my collection but it sure did turn out well for what it is.

Love the fact Rolex have acknowledged a classic from their history, hate the fact they polished the bracelet.

This version not for me. A ceramic bezel, steel cased Pepsi GMT I would buy in a heart beat.

Somehow a vintage SS Pepsi seems "cooler," although this new WG version appears to have been well executed.

Just does not do it for me - prefer the older Pepsis but each to his own!

Definitely in. Considering consolidating my collection/accumulation and adding WG Sub and WG GMT to compliment my WG DD for my only 3 Rolex.

I'll probably snag one when I win the lotto. Guess I better buy a ticket.

I think the YG Pepsi will be coming in a couple years.
As for the OP:
I'm still not taken by the ceramic bezel numeral font with the maxi dial of the ceramic GMTs whether they black, BLNR or the new Pepsi.
I have a 16710 Pepsi and am quite content with it for now.
But as we all know, things can change once seen in the flesh.
