I voted Pepsi, but I'd flip flop between the 2 because the black looks great as well. UNLESS you already own a Sub / SD, then I'd most likely just stick to Pepsi so they each have distinctive looks.

1. Pepsi
2. Black
3. Coke

I love the Pepsi bezel, like the Coke, and have the black. Pepsi 9 times out of 10. I've changed the inserts more times then I can count and don't detect any looseness.

That's good to hear. I was actually worried about that considering that I have only switched out the insert 4-5 times total in the last 20 years :)

Most definately PEPSI. One of my favorites but these pictures are making me think I should get a black bezel too.

I think I'd rather own the pepsi, just because it's more iconic, but this is coming from someone that hasn't owned either. I did own a blue dialed watch, which I sold because I just found myself not liking that much color on my wrist, so definitely I could see growing tired of the pepsi.

If it's a daily wearer, I'd probably keep it black. If it's in a rotation, I'd probably go pepsi.

Pepsi vs Black Bezel Insert Poll

If you've been black for a good long time go Pepsi, change is good. That said I do prefer the nicely faded black insert on my 1675...

Pepsi vs Black Bezel Insert Poll

Pepsi, but I would love to find a nicely faded black fat font to switch up sometimes.

I prefer Pepsi as well. Like the black on the more modern gmt (blue/black more so)

this has been discussed but Rolex will prob keep your old insert if you go through RSC. Believe there are many available on trf however.

I was able to keep my existing insert when I bought a Coke insert from the Rolex Servive Center in SF. I honestly think that if you ask politely, they will let you keep it.

I agree. Can't dismiss the Coke, which I personally think looks better than both of these.

I used to think that black is the way to go...20 years wearing the black bezel insert. But after trying the coke a month ago, now I truly believe the pepsi insert is the best looking/fitting for this watch.

I used to think that the blue and red insert makes it look cheap like a common Seiko. My watch originally came with the pepsi but had the rolex service service center switch it to a black bezel when it was a few days old 20 years ago.

But having tried all the colors now and switching to a pepsi now, it will stay this way for a very loooong time now....Makes it a true classic.. I guess knowing how much the new pepsi gmt now costs helps a little too

Good choice with the Pepsi...
