I really like the new GMT II, but something about the older version with the pepsi bezel calls.

Some of the things I seem to get conflicting information on are like the quickset date, acrylic crystal, SELs, etc. Sorry if this is readily available and I missed it, but all the focus is on the new GMT (and believe me, it IS a gorgeous watch).

Thanks in advance for your help!
Steve one of the more educated guys will be here shortly!
In the mean time, SEL stands for Solid End Link, something that was introduced in 2000 I think so the model you are looking for will not have SEL.
Acrylic Crystal was used prior to Zaphire Crysatal on wacthes 70's and prior I think. Any way here is a pic of a new GMT enjoy!
