Anyone else prefer their Pepsi bezel like this?
During the rare occasions I am not tracking a 2nd or 3rd time zone ;) I have found I like to turn the bezel with the red on top.
Maybe will drive some OCD people crazy, but to me the red on top gives the whole watch a little more pop due to the contrast which I enjoy. Not to mention, red on top is closer to the actual Pepsi logo! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I set my 24 hour hand to local time, so I prefer the bezel in the home position.

I would say both the bracelet option and bezel position are wrong for this reference.

That’s what I think anyway, may add the BLRO on Oyster at some point to verify the theory! |

LOL ...Could you imagine if Rolex actually made a reverse Pepsi Dial with arrow indice on the red, It would have a 20 year waiting list.

Yes. I wear my BLNR, CHNR and 5 digit Pepsi like this. More because the triangles are at opposite ends.

As a commercial pilot I am moving the bezel daily to reflect local time. GMT is extremely important to me also and easy to read when needed.

On mine, the GMT hand is set on... GMT. The bezel is set depending on which 2nd timezone I want to track. Travelling ? Home TZ. At home ? Some foreign countries where colleagues or family members live.

What is the utility of owning a GMT if you aren't using it to maximize time-zones?

I see both colors no matter where the bezel is set, so I prefer the default 12 setting.

Not my cup of tea. Rather like the original.

I usually leave mine at the 9 position.
Growing up it was my fathers watch, and he always liked the city of London and Europe in general, and traveled there a few times. He always left the GMT feature set to London. I think additionally he almost may have felt it was worthless not to keep it set at at least one other time zone if he had a GMT watch. That being said it was always there (even seized there when I acquired it). That being said sometimes I put it at 12, but typically it is at 9 as I’m just used to seeing it there for most of the life of the watch.
