Just picked up a new... er old... Pepsi GMT 16710

I was debating between a used Rolex Pepsi or a new Tudor GMT. Thanks to input from the TRF community I opted for a Rolex GMT 16710 Pepsi. I couldn't be happier. I love the proportions and the aluminum bezel is beautiful... I also love that I can swap it out for a Coke or an all-black if I so desire.

I'm relatively new to the TRF community. I've been lurking for a while, and in December I picked up my first Rolex for my 40th birthday: a DJ41. So, now I have 2 Rolexes! A sports watch and a dressier watch. I feel pretty much like I'm good for now in terms of watches, although this forum is liable to be my downfall... lol!

Anyway, this is a great community, thanks again for the advice. I've attached a couple wrist shots below. Happy Sunday!

Honestly not a huge fan of any of the pepsi models, but I think you made the right choice. This model looks the best!

One of Rolex great classic. One of the thing I have noticed until I got one was how much better it looks in person than in picture. Looks great in picture but even better in person.
