You mean would I prefer a sub bezel on a GMT Vs. The coke or pepsi? If so my answer is no. That's why I have both ;-)

That would sort of defeat the object the GMT insert are marked for different hour time zones thats what GMTwatches are for.While the sub is marked for time lapse minutes again designed as a divers watch.

I think that the new GMT's look so much like the Sub, you have to get up close to be able to even see the difference..

Really, it it wasn't for the shiny center links, you wouldn't know the difference from 10 feet away....

As for the earlier ones...

I do like the black and the red/black..........

As for preferring one over the other.... a Sub bezel would be pretty much worthless on a GMT.....

Agree on the new GMTs Larry...

I got the GMT II Coke as my 2nd Rolex because I wanted the functionality / time zone feature AND the splash of Red was enough of a variation for me.

I may switch to a Pepsi bezel after a year or so...but not sure.

I like the Sub bezel better less busy, but I like it on the Sub not on the GMT,
I also prefer the Submariner watch over the GMT watch. Can't wait to see the new Sub
