Which one is the greater icon of the 2: 16610LN submariner vs 16710 Pepsi

Which of these 5-digit references is deemed to be the greater icon? I would love to hear forum members' thoughts.

Iconic? Rolex is practically synonymous with the sub. GMT might be in aviation circles as well. But with some dithering over who created the first dive watch, Rolex is best known for it.

I’d say sub for the general public, Pepsi for the watch people.

For 5-digit, GMT.... Magnum.

If your were asking without referencing a particular era, Submariner without hesitation.
