Today I finally had time to go and pick up my new Tudor GMT Pepsi. The watch is great, but to be honest I’m a little bit disappointed, I don’t have that feeling of awesomeness when I put it on. I think my 16710 would have more wrist time than this when I would want to wear GMT watch.

Congratulations. But I think I agree about the 16710...

I think the 16710 is a hall of fame Rolex nothing can touch it not any of today’s GMT watches

Star Ferry · 15 July 2018, 08:25 AM

I agree, it's still a $4000 watch. If it doesn't make you excited then it might not be worth the cost

Sal_UKSheffield · 15 July 2018, 07:24 AM

Why buy it then?
I got the call went in, felt the same way but left with my money in my hand... slept like a baby that night

Nycturbovr6 · 15 July 2018, 07:35 AM

Congrats! That's a shame

Try the bracelet version and may look better in my opinion.

Congrats, I hope you learn to love the Tudor GMT but to be honest if I felt the same I would have walked away.

faz · 15 July 2018, 08:36 AM

Enjoy your new purchase. It will never be 16710. But why do you want it to be?

Not sure if I would even consider the Tudor if I already had a 16710 TBH.... hope it grows on you.... but like others said I would have cut bait prior to purchasing.... it's not as if the AD would have a problem shifting it on ...

watchwatcher · 15 July 2018, 09:38 AM

Yeah...I don't get why you bought it.

But...congrats anyway. I guess.

Have to agree with Larry.

Frank McKay · 15 July 2018, 09:47 AM

I think it looks beautiful, more of a resemblance to the Coke as oppose to Pepsi. Has a vintage look and feel. Enjoy it!

henry333 · 15 July 2018, 09:53 AM

Maybe a new beater?

nick c · 15 July 2018, 10:10 AM

Well done! Congratulations

TickTockChuck · 15 July 2018, 10:26 AM

Congratulations on your Tudor Pepsi GMT! Hard to compete with a 16710 and maybe you shouldn't. Just consider it a different flavor of Pepsi for a different mood/feel. Could swap out with a leather or braclet perhaps. Give it a chance and see what happens. Enjoy in the best of health. Cheers!

TudorTuesday · 15 July 2018, 10:32 AM

As another poster already mentioned - the strap isn't doing you any favors in the comparison department. The balance and heft are going to be different for any watch on a bracelet vs fabric strap like that one.

AJM914 · 15 July 2018, 10:56 AM

Congrats beautiful!

brucethemanlee · 15 July 2018, 11:18 AM

I walked away from one with NATO strap

It was nice but it just didn't WOW me....

Scholar · 15 July 2018, 01:14 PM

I'm shocked that people are actually buying the NATO version...

kneedeep · 15 July 2018, 01:25 PM

My AD has gotten 6 and all were quickly gone. Now they have a wait list for it. But I can see your point about the Pepsi getting more wrist time.

GerardoG · 15 July 2018, 01:28 PM

Congratulations!

cvo · 15 July 2018, 01:37 PM

Congrats! The navy blue on the Tudor is almost black or is it just the lighting?

arguetaoscar · 15 July 2018, 02:08 PM

Maybe the bracelet version would feel more substantial, I own a 16700 that I love, and just bought a BB GMT and I’m loving it...

I tried it on but was unsure only due to my wrist size (6.75”). I, too, have the 16710. My recent problem with the 16710 is that it has appreciated so much in recent years that I have become too careful with it to truly enjoy it. Too me, the Tudor has that rugged wear me anywhere look. I’m a fan.
