It comes down to your choice, I prefer blue/red however I believe it is easy to switch so why not have both

A nice 16760 should do the trick, you get the old with the new and coke bezel.

on how to do it. If you've never done it before or don't want to, any watchmaker can change it for you for free. Beze insert is about $75 at any AD.

Well, $75 is not worth going to prison over , but it is a good deal, I'll admit. Maybe you could have one sent to you for a great price+shipping. Still, you would get a great deal. I think I paid $50 each for the two extra inserts, Black, Pepsi, Coke-original equipment. If you do buy foreign, be careful and look at the close-up shots of the insert: some have been found to be imposters, and terrible ones at that. Good luck.

Neither one is technically better, it's all subjective. From your words above, it sounds like you clearly think the Coke is nicer against the black dial.

On the flipside, while I still like the Coke bezel, I much prefer the look of the Pepsi over it, and I even like the LN (all black) bezel more than the Coke as well.

Part of the beauty of the GMT is that you can have all 3 for fairly cheap!

I bought my watch as a "coke" preowned, but had the AD in my hometown switch it to a Pepsi insert, which he did for free. He also let me keep the coke bezel insert that was original to the watch. He said if I ever wanted another black/Pepsi/coke he could get me one at 75$ apiece.

No reason for "vs" when it's so easy to have a "+".

16760 "fat lady" is the first GMT-Master w/ the coke bezel. Anything earlier than that you're looking at a pepsi bezel. Hope that helps.

Coke in the glass and on the wrist. While I love the blue on Rolexes, I didn't like the red-blue-black on the Pepsi version.

Between those two, I would definitely go Pepsi. Although these days, I'm a Batman fan.
