Pepsi or Black and Red?

[Tif]

This may sound really stupid, but which GMT-II should I get for my fiance? I have no idea what I'm doing, since I know nothing about Rolex, but I want him to love it. Pepsi or Black and Red? Any other suggestions/ideas would be great!

Unfortunately, I don't think you 'll find any Coke or Pepsi anymore - so no need to worry ...

What about the new GMT-IIc?

[Tif]

I have found both- so I am trying to pick which one... I know he liked these, because he looked at them back when we were looking at engagement rings, but I just don't know which one to get! Thank you for the other suggestion- I will look into it!

Its really a person question , i have a pepsi and a new ceramic. not sure if that helps.

Tif, one of the great things about the 16710 is the ability to change the inserts. Personally I would opt for the RED/BLUE first as these were the original GMT colors....and then get the other inserts as you can.:thumbsup:

Hi there,
This is my first post. I would go for the Pepsi dial, are you talking about the recent model or thinking about vintage? I love the vintage edition, the black and red is generally called coke dial, and after that you even have a root beer dial. Getting him a fantastic Pepsi dial maybe something you try to ween him off in the future because it can lead to a costly addiction :)

I saw a Pepsi at Carlsbad mall, she told me she had 2. one for show and one in the safe.

When I bought mine, there were two Pepsis and two Cokes. I ultimately picked the Pepsi although I liked the Coke colors better because I felt the Pepsi colors were more iconic to the GMT, and also because the Pepsi I chose had the stick dial (ll rather than II) and appears to have the newer movement.

[Magik]

Oops, I forgot, I think you should ask your fiance or find out somehow which colors he prefers. It is just a matter of personal taste after all. I don't think any one color would appreciate more than the other if they did go up in value.

I would say get the pepsi,he could always get the other inserts and change up the looks.I'm sure anything you get him he'll love,since It comes from your heart.he's a lucky guy.

Go PEPSI!! (me personally) its an icon.....
But then you can change the bezel insert, so dont worry.

Your boyfriend gotta be one the most luckiest guy in the world!

I would go for black and red, I have owned that watch, and I really miss it.

It stands out, but do not scream, if you know what I mean. It got character.

But - as many says - its rather cheap to change the bezel so I would buy the black and red watch, plus the all-black bezel, and pepsi-bezel. Then she could choose...

The red/blue is a bit more obvious and noticable.

The red/black is more subdued and suitable even for an up-scale event..(my personal favorite)

You should know what dolors lyour boyfriend is comfortable witih..

If I were pushed, I would agree that the red/blue should be the one chosen for a gift lacking any other input; as has been said, if he wants another insert, they can be found for less than a 100 bucks.

Pepsi...Fourth of July is coming up.

i have the new gmt2c and i love it, if i were to get another one i would get the pepsi version so it would have some color and a jubilee bracelet along with an oyster bracelet so i could change it around.

I would go red and black. To me, it just has more class. :cool:

ask yourself--what would warren buffet do?

[pwrslider]

This is actually an old thread....which one did you get??

[marshallr47]

I'm partial to the Coke dial. That's what I have now.

I find the coke bezel to be the best. It looked good on Keanu Reeves in the movie poster for "Street Kings". :agree:
