Cure For The Common Cold [Weather]
During the cold months of the year my GMT II typically sports the black/ burgundy bezel, alternating between jubilee, oyster, or nato, depending on the mood.
Well the cold, ice, and snow have gone on long enough this winter. So in an attempt to usher in an early seasonal change I'm headed to my watchmaker today, with pepsi insert in hand, to hopefully kick start the warmer breezes, if only in my mind. dP

Great photos as always, Dan. It is one of the most flexible Rolex watches in the line. I'm partial to Pepsi/Jubilee, but they are all gorgeous combinations.

Really nice pics, Dan. Not only warms up the winter weather but also shows how you can really tweak the look of your watch.
PS. The Nato is awesome.

My favorite looks are oyster bracelet with Pepsi an jubilee
with coke. Makes me sad that my IIC is not as versatile.

Beautiful shots, Dan. Your Pepsi on Jubilee looks fantastic! (Hmmm... I think I better start looking for that bracelet to dress up my Pepsi.) BTW, love your choice in NATOs as well

Dan: You are truly TRF's ambassador of the GMT. Great pics, watch & as always... presentation. Your photos look like they are from a coffee table book.
BTW: I love the coke look as much as the classic pepsi. My 16710 is presently at RSC Dallas undergoing the full spa treatment. Your post just made me miss my watch even more. Good stuff |

Those are cool shots - it makes me think about trying to find a Pepsi GMT! Oh & since you've inspired watch envy - it's mid 70's and sunny here in SoCal
