COke, Pepsi, or Root Beer?

This has probably been done but lets see if the sentiments have changed. I'll admit I'm not the biggest GMT fan but my personal preference would be coke.

I own a Coke, and I've owned a Pepsi. Previously I had only seen the Root Beer in pictures and thought it was kind of goofy looking. Then last week I was at my jeweler's store and saw one in person. Holy cow, I was flabbergasted - it was gorgeous. The bronze is a lot more shimmery in person than in the pics I had seen, and the gold hands against the bronze dial just looked amazing. Wow. Now I'm saving up now to float a Root Beer.

I bought a pepsi and got a coke bezel for it too, and I'd love to get a rootbeer someday as well...
But since I got a pepsi first, I voted for that.

No need to limit yourself. Get 'em all. Except the rootbeer will mean another GMT but nothing wrong with that.

Well, I am a GMT fan. Now give me one good reason why I shouldn't ban you for omitting the best one of all.

I would love to get a root beer, they seem to get the least air time on most forums, and yet they hold their own in style and colour, nicely different, a great individual watch. Are they a limited production?

I used to prefer the coke but over time I found that the classic pepsi was my favorite.

Pepsi-is time proven classic. You can always get extra Coke or Black bezel insert for about $80 from your local watchmaker.
