What's the ratio of Pepsis To Cokes you've seen in the wild?

Strange...I've only seen one Pepsi in the wild. Many more Cokes. Yet, the Pepsi is considered the more classic GMT on watch forums.

East Bay Rider · 11 June 2011, 09:44 AM

I mostly see TT. Only ever seen one SS GMT and it was Pepsi.

Justjosh · 11 June 2011, 09:46 AM

I saw a two-tone today, and I was wearing a black insert in my 16750.

I have NEVER seen a pepsi or coke in the wild.

warrior · 11 June 2011, 09:50 AM

Funny how watch forums ( at least from my experience) tout the ss gmts ( pepsis, cokes, blacks). Yet, people here ( so far) see more TTs. Interesting.

Michael M. · 11 June 2011, 09:52 AM

I see more coke inserts than pepsi, and see black inserts the most.

Jake B · 11 June 2011, 10:09 AM

More Pepsi in HK

kyle L · 11 June 2011, 10:10 AM

I've seen more 1675s with pepsi bezels than anything.

I agree. I saw half a dozen Rolex today. All but mine were Two tone

Speed · 11 June 2011, 11:09 AM

Man...I think I have seen one Pepsi and one Coke. In my lifetime!

buke45 · 11 June 2011, 11:17 AM

About tha same between Pepsi, Coke and TT here in PR

Dr. Robert · 11 June 2011, 11:20 AM

I have seen Speed's (Bill), David Woo's & Frankinca's Rolex pepsi GMT's in the "steel"....I see more new C GMT's in the "wild"...the most common sport Rolex watches I see are the Rolex subs.

tkc324 · 11 June 2011, 11:24 AM

I have seen a few pepsi and cokes in the wild... i would say its about the same ratio. Only seen 1-2 GMT2C.

jms_w · 11 June 2011, 11:36 AM

I've only seen Cokes in the wild but I've only seen a handful of 16710's in my life.

HKtoter · 11 June 2011, 12:02 PM

I have seen only one GMT in the wild, 18 years ago. When I was in the Navy a pilot in my squadron wore a 16710 Pepsi. Never saw another until I bought mine.

Tools · 11 June 2011, 12:17 PM

Since the red/blue had a 30 year head start on the red/black, that means that the red/blue had been in production for 57 years, and the red/black only a mere 25 years.

Also, the red/black should only be seen on the GMT II (the watch it was introduced on), and never on a GMT Master.

Therefore, there should be more GMT II's with red/black and more GMT Masters with red/blue.

FrankinCA · 11 June 2011, 03:59 PM

I've seen more Coke, Black and Root Beer. Very few Pepsi (under 10). Ratio 1 Pepsi:3 "other"

I see more datejusts and subs than GMT's

Onikage · 11 June 2011, 07:45 PM

There was a guy filling up at the petrol station who had a black bezel one. It was amazing how under the radar it appeared. Never seen any other colour in the wild, strange...

Art 1 · 11 June 2011, 08:02 PM

I see many more pepsi's, then blk blk, then coke. But most are pepsi.

CEG · 11 June 2011, 08:24 PM

More Pepsi or All black in the UK from my findings....

God I loved my 16710

HL65 · 11 June 2011, 08:42 PM

I think I've seen one Pepsi and no Coke in my lifetime in wild. I guess I hang out in the wrong places. I have to say though I don't go around staring at people's wrists!

Lies!

We all check out everyones watches

Atleast that's what I tell myself so I don't feel like a weirdo?

Fiery · 12 June 2011, 03:23 AM

I only saw pepsi variants in the wild, no coke or black. However, since in most cases it's not possible to check out a Rolex on a stranger's arm up close, I may have mistaken a black GMT with a Sub

While the pepsi bezel is quite prominent.

Chipmunk · 12 June 2011, 03:28 AM

I've seen a couple of Pepsis in the wild but haven't seen a coke yet.

WatchTimes · 12 June 2011, 03:39 AM

Ive seen a few pepsi and a few cokes in the past couple years
traveling but mostly black. Recently I have been seeing more
and more GMT IIC's while waiting in airports in Europe.

chiscoe · 12 June 2011, 07:22 AM

I have never seen a pepsi in the wild..but I have seen 2 cokes (GMT II's).

AndyK · 12 June 2011, 08:53 AM

Every GMT I've seen has been pepsi.

mitchy · 12 June 2011, 02:27 PM

theres someone who always comes to my work with a black insert on, then recently he changed it to pepsi, was quite surprised

makes the watch pop for sure

affalterbach · 12 June 2011, 02:39 PM

I used to see them a lot more but hardly ever see any of them now.

DCgator · 12 June 2011, 03:00 PM

Two guys who work on the same floor as me wear GMT Pepsi; both said they acquired their watches in the early 80s. Still have original bezel inserts, too.

slcbbrown · 12 June 2011, 09:22 PM

My first Rolex was a rootbeer in 1973. In the following 35+ years, I've probably seen two pepsi's and no cokes.
