Getting close to a deal!....a GMT Pepsi or SD???

Guys, after a long month of doing my homework and the help from you guys, I'm happy to announce that I'm closing in on a deal.

If everything goes as plan, I should be wearing this baby this time next week!!!

Anyone care to take a guess??

Stay tuned....

I bought an unworn Sea Dweller last month, and it has quickly become my favorite watch. My TT Sub sits in the safe, and I sent my Datejust with my oldest daughter, who thinks it looks great on her. (It does.)

I have both, but the SD gets the most wrist time! It's a bit more subtle than the Pepsi GMT.

Hmm...both amazing watches. I wouldn't even know what to pick myself. But I would probably go with the GMT Pepsi if I had to pick.

I just purchased a Pepsi 16710, and a 1675. A Seadweller is a must after the first two were secured. You can't go wrong with either, but you'll be wanting both eventually. Both are out of production, and both look great. The price of the Pepsi has been on the rise here recently, so take that into consideration also.

GMT unless you prefer big, thick watches. If so, then SD. Personally I like the GMT functions in addition to its size. The Pepsi is an absolute Rolex classic that can be changed with different bezels.

6 months ago it would have been SD by a margin of probably 60/40. The GMT is really gaining in hype/popularity around here. My two favorite Rolexes hands down.
