I've had black for over 16 year, then bought a 2007 16710 with Pepsi bezel but now hankering after the Coke!

Black is still the classic though - never been disappointed with my first and original choice of Rolex.

I voted Batman but honestly it's a 3 way tie with coke being the odd man out. Never did like red and black.

IMO the C models don't really belong in this poll.
Sorry

I'm in the all black group. But that's also my bias. I have an all black Y-series GMT-II that is my absolute favorite watch.

It's not just the ceramic bezel that I really like, the blue GMT hand is also striking

Hard for me to pick against the BLNR

The black aluminium is the classier look, IMO, and more versatile. But I'll take any aluminium over ceramic.

I love the BLNR. I've always wanted a "coke" bezel - maybe one day. Plus the aluminum and ceramic are so different you really need one of each ;-) At least that's what I tell the wife

Love the Pepsi, wish it were in SS. Assume Rolex made it the WG model due to its desirability. As for a beverage, I drink the real thing...Coke! Ha! Cheers!

It's not on the list but a Black/Dark Green bezel to go with the green 24 hour hand would look great.

I own the Batman, but wouldn't have thought it would be so close to the Pepsi.

I'm probably in the minority, but I actually prefer the more muted tones of the BLRO over the original aluminum Pepsi. I like the original pepsi bezel, but I'm not sure I could wear it daily, would much prefer black or the BLNR for daily use. Basically for me would be:
BLRO > BLNR > Black > Pepsi > Coke.

I would love to have a 16750 and be able to swap between the Black and Pepsi, Black for daily, Pepsi as a change of pace.

BLNR. For me, among the GMT watches, the BLNR represents it the most with the Black part of it's bezel representing night time and the Blue part representing day time. The 2 best colors that represents night and day respectively.

Not sure what to vote because depending on the model they are not all an option. Coke is not available on the ceramic GMT and the BLNR is not available on anything but the ceramic.

So for the GMTC I vote Pepsi because that's the WG model.

For the 16710 - "Hey kids, collect them all!"

Modern Gmt I go with the black because I am not willing to pay the large premium for the blue color.

I am considering aluminum coke or Pepsi but the bang per Buck is a used GmtC black

Voted Batman for I love the Blue Black combo. In darker lighting the blue really does look black. Overall the all black does feel a little more classy to me, but in the end it's all about how you feel and want =)

...plus interchangeable among Oyster, Nato, Leather and feather light weight, super comfortable Classic Jubilee bracelet
