Enjoying the 16710 Pepsi and the 116710 BNLR GMT

My friend recently asked me which GMT ll I liked best between my 16710 Pepsi and my 116710 BNLR.

The 16710 has so much character. I love the Blue and Red Aluminium Bezel with that distinct click. Comparing it to the Batman is interesting. My answer to him was I love both!

The Pepsi feels lighter of course. The BNLR is so well made and I love the bracelet even if it does pick up scratches. I think that adds to its character. I love the Maxi dial and the unbelievably beautiful and precise bezel. Both GMTs are fantastic pieces.
