But, different strokes, as they say. 
Thanks for the review, I enjoyed it.

I agree. Of the watches I currently own, the GMT is the only one I have which seems to completely disappear on my wrist. I'd also say the bracelet is no more or less wobbly than the pro II bracelet on my Breitling Avenger Seawolf.
The clasp on the Seawolf is quite a bit beefier, however.
As for the look of the 16710 Pepsi, my opinion is that it is as classic in appeal, and as understated today as it was 20 years ago. Nothing on this watch, to me, seems dated. On the contrary, like a Mercedes 280SL, it gets better with age.
(For the tool watch guys, substitute Chevrolet K5 Blazer above.)
My $0.02. I enjoyed the review. I just have a different opinion.
