This is a Pepsi only thread...
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...

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.

I forgot to answer my own questions...
-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...

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. dP

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. |

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. |

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.

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. |

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... |

...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 )

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!)

I'm a newb here, owned these 2 beauties less than a month.
The first one is from 1970 and this is a more recent 16710 MII from 2000 that is fading nicely: These are the only 2 GMTs I own. Rotation wise: well, they've been getting their fair share of wrist time. Larry |

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.
