Please post of picture of your Pepsi(s), and answer the following:
-How long have you owned it...?
-How much time does it get in your rotation...?
-Why you own a Pepsi, not a coke or black bezel insert...?

Here are my 1969 and 1971 models...

Kobayashi · 17 April 2013, 02:55 PM

Have owned mine for about 8 months. At this point it's on my wrist 23 hours/day. The only time it's not on is during my morning run. My other watches haven't been receiving any wrist time.

Tudor66 · 17 April 2013, 03:04 PM

-How long have you owned it...?
---I've owned the Pepsi GMT's (1675) for just a few months.

-How much time does it get in your rotation...?
---I wear the Pepsi 1969 in the office each day, it's the most comfortable watch I own.

-Why you own a Pepsi, not a coke or black bezel insert...?
---No idea, I went to a watch convention a few months back, and I brought my Submariner 16800 matte dial to trade for something new. I made the trade and haven't looked back...

Tudor66 · 19 April 2013, 01:32 PM

Where are the Pepsi fans...? Anders, Vincent...?

Dan Pierce · 19 April 2013, 01:51 PM

Mine since 2006.
Used most often to navigate time zones while traveling the world.
Pepsi because it's one of the options available on the watch with a thousand faces.

Alan, those are lovely examples.

I've had my 16710 since 2008, and I wear it approx. three months a year. I have the Pepsi insert because it is more original (in my mind) to the Rolex GMT.

Jay Tee · 19 April 2013, 02:13 PM

Had mine for about 1 month.

Sort of fits in as my dressier watch with a punch of color; couple of times a week so far.

Love the blue and red, like ying and yang.

NSXsan · 19 April 2013, 02:52 PM

since 2004

maybe only total 1 month on my wrist since I bought it

I always think Pepsi with T-Dial its a good watch to keep . . . .

Hey No problem Craig..., I thought the gentlemen from Seattle owned a Pepsi...,

Andad · 19 April 2013, 06:17 PM

I've had my 'M' for 5 years.
I wear it a few days each month.
I like the Pepsi bezel - it makes a change from the Subs etc.

Robbyvm · 19 April 2013, 07:10 PM

Own my '65 birthyear GMT for about 10 months
wear it at least once a week
Pepsi because i love it

Tudor66 · 20 April 2013, 12:02 AM

Lovely watches,
Gentlemen, I think I just found my own birthyear grail challenge: Find my own 1965 Pepsi and Submariner.., this may take some time...

Here is my wife's Pepsi.....she's had it since last year and never takes it off.....image.jpg

storm66 · 20 April 2013, 02:44 AM

Here's my '65 Pepsi......only wear it occasionally

image.jpg

Vincent65 · 19 April 2013, 09:31 PM

here's one

had it 2 years
worn in rotation with 2 or 3 others
The blue/red is the best, IMO - I had a 16710 black/red back in the 90's but I prefer this.

Silly question, but what is it you prefer about the 1675/16750? I’m with you too — for me it’s the crystal and the wider bezel!

katana · 20 April 2013, 06:20 AM

GMT 1675 from 1977....!!!have owned it for two weeks. Has it a few days, then I change to Sub.1680.

GeoGio Greece · 20 April 2013, 07:03 AM

...though a Pepsi deep inside, it has many different faces and some very good friends for company

Bought new in 1993, worn in rotation, accurate to a minute per month, and PEPSI by CHOISE ( GMT's are better with pepsi look to my eyes, despite the various changes that its character allows

)

swish77 · 20 April 2013, 07:42 AM

Here's my 5-mil. Pepsi. Owned it about two years. It's a Pepsi originally, so that's the way I like it, although I have a black insert I could swap to mix it up. (A Coke insert wouldn't be correct on this model/year, so I wouldn't do it!)

eVojlib · 20 April 2013, 04:39 AM

Had this one for almost two years, it was my dads before he passed in 2011.

Not much wrist time as the 7836 was pretty bad shape, however, I just had some servicing and a few new parts added.

Watch just reminds me of a better time, a simpler time...

springer · 20 April 2013, 08:19 AM

Here are a few of mine! I guess you could say that I am a fan of the GMT - and definitely prefer the blue and red. Dates range from 1969 on up.
