Any idea what the MRSP for that reference might be??

If I pulled the trigger it would strictly become a safe queen...

Lee, it usually depends on the year. If it is one that has never been worn, then that is a very good price. Mine is an S-serial from 1995, ran me about $4,200 in pristine condition. They will definitely appreciate in value, so if you can afford it and the planets are aligned correctly, pull the trigger!

I voted Pepsi!!

i like blue. So pepsi only.

armypilot · 28 January 2008, 04:24 AM

I've owned my GMT for 26 years and it has the Pepsi insert. It is my favorite due to the history behind it. I do also have the all black insert and I swap them out by myself a few times a year. It takes about three minutes and it hasn't caused any problems with any of the associated components. So I say buy a Pepsi and get the additional inserts from your AD. If I were to get another GMT it would most definitely be a vintage Root Beer!

Teofilo · 28 January 2008, 05:32 AM

Pepsi, but I keep trying to change it to Coke. Every time I get close I chicken out again.
Pepsi is just beautiful.

JJ Irani · 28 January 2008, 05:39 AM

Zero Coke!!

Thanks JJ! From the size it looks as if it would fit Paul Bunyan.

I've gotta say that every time I see a pic of Allan's Rootbeer, I covet it a little more.

We think so. But then, a mind is a terrible thing to not have...

JBat · 28 January 2008, 10:04 AM

Voted Coke because I love the look of it and the Pepsi doesn't really do it for me (like I'd turn one down if it was offered--hehe). Like others have said, though, the great thing about the watch is that you can have what amounts to three watches for the price of a couple of extra bezels. Pretty cool.

BobD · 28 January 2008, 11:37 AM

because a Sub is not a GMT. What can I say, I love them all, but as a vintage collector, if I had a Sub and a GMT to choose from, I'd probably buy the Sub.

I didn't mean to emply that a sub is a GMT. I just wanted to give an option if you didn't like either.

sea-dweller · 28 January 2008, 12:05 PM

My 16710 was purchased in December 1996, from an AD in Southern California, while on a business trip there. I originally had the Coke bezel insert, but decided in September, 2004 that I enjoyed the Pepsi bezel insert more. I had the bezel changed at the RSC, and it has stayed that way since. I also like the all black GMT bezel inserts also.

kcmo · 28 January 2008, 12:43 PM

I'm a Sub kinda gal but as far as the GMT II goes, my favorite is the coke! Good luck!

applebook · 28 January 2008, 01:00 PM

Coke is a bit too sweet, but Pepsi can be somewhat dull.

I say Dr. Pepper:

BiG JeEzY · 28 January 2008, 01:34 PM

My simple answer to the age old question...

1. When it comes to the GMT Master, my vote goes to the Pepsi all the way!

2. When it comes to the soda, my vote will definitely always be Coca Cola or Coke. Even though I stopped drinking soda, I always liked Coca Cola over Pepsi.

badsmac · 28 January 2008, 02:36 PM

I'll vote for the Pepsi.
It has more pop

frostie · 28 January 2008, 02:37 PM

It seems that pepsi has put the other two options out of competition
