Poll: 2018 GMT Pepsi Bezel Color Preference

So someone had to do it

Do you prefer the MK1 (left) or MKII (right) bezel colors (photo courtesy troways).

Should add a third option, lighting differences.

When you have people like Bas personally commenting on the thread and saying there's two different versions how can you still be denying it?

And to answer the thread I’m a fan of them both and would love to own either one. I can see this thread being a real riot.

Neither. Unobtainable and tiresome.

Yawn. This one will fizzle out soon, much like all the MKI/MKII discussion around the SD43. Too easy to get people worked up into a tizzy these days with all the hype.

Mine looks more like the right, but I prefer the left.

They both look pretty gross, imo. If they could get the colors right that'd be my pick.

well putting the lighting aside and all the commotion.

Vote wise the MK1 gets my vote, quite like the pastel tone to the blue and red

Both are nice, but the mk1 would look better on a brushed oyster, while the darker mk2 suits the jubilee, imo.

Most mk1 owners will pick mk1 since it can change to mk2’s hue based on light.
All mk2 owners will pick mk2... because, human.

The newer one is darker and less of a pastel color. Look at the picture in post #8.
