Sorry guys I know few of you have it here, personal taste!

 Don't have one, but to me the Pepsi is part of the GMT's DNA.

 +1 !!!  I owned a GMT in the mid 1980s.  I ordered it expecting the pepsi bezel.  It arrived with the black bezel.  I thought it was kind of cool at first.  However, after several years of wearing it I found that if someone noticed it, they often said, "Nice Sub."  It became annoying, and more importantly I realized it lacked its own identity without the pepsi bezel.  If I were ever buying a pre-owned GMT it would have to have the pepsi bezel !

It's just a personal taste, many will disagree. But I think it looks childish and ugly. A normal submariner is a lot nicer.

Pepsi FTW! icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif

Suede strap from Hodinkee on my SM300 today. Slightly silly with the camo, but I like it shog[1].gif

I wore my SM300 today cheers.gif

Went and checked out a JLC moon phase at Tourneau today. I was quite surprised at how light it felt on the wrist - $9400 retail on the stainless and $15000ish on the gold.

I uses to collect Speedys, and yours looks to me like a new style hand, not what is typical of the pre-moon models (look at the butt-end of the chronograph seconds hand). The hand on yours looks like the kind that went into service with the cal. 861, not the earlier castle-wheel 321s.
In any case, it is a great watch.

Any recs where I can score a transitional Omega 1969 Speedmaster with the 861 movement but the vintage styling?

Sorry Stitches, I guess I forgot.

 

Besides I just couldn't help myself from posting another picture.

 

 

I like the Pepsi, and find it to be classic Rolex.

 

A little color every once in awhile is good thing in my book.

How much does a pre-owned Pepsi GMT run, more or less? Are they really hard to find?
