Classic GMT preference

Regarding the classic GMT, what is your bezel insert preference and just importantly, why?

Pepsi followed by black. Not a fan of coke.

Pepsi for me. Just feels classic to me. Love the coke also. As much as I like black, I put that third in line because I have subs with black bezel and like to mix it up for GMT.

Pepsi for Spring/Summer
Coke for Fall
Black for All Seasons

Pepsi is my #1, followed by Black. Coke doesn't do too much for me personally.

Pepsi with Coke a close second. The all black is just ok considering my other all black watches.

Pepsi > Coke >> Black

Prefer Pepsi over Coke by a little - I like the blue/red combo bezel more on the Pepsi but the red/black bezel of the Coke works better w/ the dial.

Like black the least because I think a GMT bezel should be bi-color which enhances functionality.

I prefer the Red/Blue but I have acquired 1 of each insert for my 16710 if I feel the need to swap it out!

This, but maybe just less of a coke fan. Although I have all three bezels the Pepsi is on most of the time.
