GMTIIC first, then I would make sure to get the Pepsi later.

GMT IIC.. Many advantages including the ceramic bezel (albeit no color option) and clasp to mention a few.

Bought my GMT II C today! I get it tomorrow!!!

I personally never liked the pepsi or coke bezels. I like black and I dont care about changing inserts, so the C was for me.

Pepsi for me...it's all about the looks and nothing else.

I do not like the fat lugs ( really not elegant and brutish looking IMO) on the GMTIIC. I also do not particularly like the busyness of the ceramic bezel. The multi-color bezel of the old GMTs "break up" the busyness.

If you get the Pepsi, you can always have a Coke, a rootbeer, or a black soda. Very versatile

I love the Pepsi and it will be the next watch I buy, perhaps as early as this Saturday. But, with that said, a GMT C vs a Pepsi at the same price, I'd probably go with the GMT C. Either the Ceramic is being sold too low or the Pepsi is too expensive.

True Story, but you cannot put a price on happiness.

I think the C is worth the retail price but a Pepsi isn't worth $8k. GMTIIC for me though I like the Pepsi better.

This is one of the rare times where a coin flip would be appropriate.
