GMT II Pepsi or Sub-C
Hello all, I feel like its time to purchase a new watch. I came here for advise when I bought my Pam 111 and now I am here once again. I want to pick up the GMT Pepsi or a Sub-C, but theres a little catch. If I go with the GMT I will pick it up without selling the Pam. If I go with the Sub-C i would have to sell the Pam to cover most of the watch. I love my Pam, and also the Rolex's lol.
So my question is do you think its worth dropping the Pam for the Sub-C or just pick up the GMT and have both the Pam and GMT? |

Pick up the GMT as they are no longer in production. You can buy the Sub-C later...this way you still keep the beloved Pam 111. Pepsi GMT

2 is better than 1. I used to have dreams about the Pepsi, seriously, DREAMS. Now that I have it, all is well in the world of Rolex and the CPT.

My vote also goes for keeping the watch you have and enjoy and picking up the GMT Pepsi. I wear a Pepsi everyday and thoroughly enjoy owning and wearing the GMT.....so good luck with your decision and let us know what you decide to do!!!
Take it easy.....Leo

I rather like the Pepsi GMT. It wears comfortably and the old-style case is as big as I need to go. Also, the "luxe" aspect of current models is not why I got into Rolex.

Thats a beautiful shot.
Going with the GMT was always the goal, but the Sub-C was always in the back of the mind. Hearing from you guys was just the final push. Now to find a decent condition one. Its going to be my everyday watch so I do not need a mint one. |

I much prefer the Subc but if you love the Pam then the Pepsi is the smart choice.

I would get a GMT now and buy a Sub-C at a future date.
