Based on availability of the new Pepsi GMT, I kind of gave up on that. So, I went slightly vintage and bought a 16710. It's a black dial, but I have already ordered a blue/red insert.

I think the watch needs a service, but so far I am happy with it. The bracelet is a little tight, so I also think I need another link, but otherwise, I think this will be a great addition to my collection.

Congratulations!!!! Looks great!! I had both Pepsi and Coke inserts but always felt the black was badass!!!!

Congratulations!

Nice.

Out of interest, what is your AD charging for the alternative Pepsi insert?

I asked my AD and they said £60 fitted. I can't just buy the insert, they have to fit it but can return the displaced one to me. I thought £60 fitted remarkably cheap for a new genuine insert.

I don't have an AD close to me, so I have ordered the insert from "the bay" and plan to have a local watchmaker switch it for me. I may get them to do a service on it at the same time. I am not counting on the insert I bought being original, but when I have time I will probably send it off to an RSC to get it really done right.

I just want to enjoy it for a while and this seemed the easiest and quickest option.
