Seems Coke is more of a close second to Pepsi than I thought....

I personally like them all but like the Coke with the 16710, and Pepsi on the matte dial 16750. Black is great too as it's the most dressy but paradoxically also a good tool watch look.

End of the day it's six on on side and half a dozen on the other, and either way, they are all stunning!

Rick, I'd be nervous to see how many other watches you have! Great collection!!

Pepsi initially but Coke on jubilee is a close second. Black is too sub-like.

Brown and Gold one by a country mile, Blue and Red one a distant second, Black one third and the Red and Black one is still running!

I started with red/black and obviously liked it but had a red/blue change of heart a few years ago probably because that is as close to the original as you can get. The black just makes it look too much like a Sub and I have one of those. Pepsi>Coke>Black for me.

C'mon Higgins!
The classic Magnum PI Pepsi is a must. Black 2nd and Coke a distant 3rd!

Pepsi, as it was my first rolex. You always remember your first :-)
the black looks too much like a sub to the avg. person.
Never a fan of the Coke myself

Yep my reasoning exactly. Just did the same. Do I get royalties? Ha!

Classic GMT preference

I love my GMT black, but Pepsi and Coke and Root beer are awesome! It's a hard decision. Left my GMT at RSC for service and will replace the black for Pepsi, and get the black insert back.

I love the Pepsi followed by the Coke.

That being said...If I could only have one and only one, I would choose black. It goes with everything and doesn't necessarily stand out like the others IMO. Stealthier.
