I'm more of a ceramic fan, curious why you ordered the pepsi GMT in the first place, I think the pepsi is a classic ref

The 114060 is a good choice though!

I personally would have held onto the GMT and added the sub at a later stage when I could have afforded to.

If choosing one of the two, I'd take the 114060.
Too bad you couldn't hang on to the Pepsi as well though.

I really love my GMT Pepsi; I have one as well as a Sub and SubC. As was said there are plenty of both available. Frankly the Pepsi lights me up as no other watch. Mine just got back from servicing and it is like a new watch. It takes effort not to wear it. But frankly we're all lit up by different lights and you've got to choose the one that works for you.

I'm just more a lover of the later models and when I looked at the pepsi I was thinking for the similar price it could have been the SUB C no date and that was nagging at me

I think the 114060 is simply tops so., I support your move.

Enjoy the Subc, until you get the BLRO, the one you really want.

I like the GMT unless it's the TT Sub 16613 Blue Sunburst

I prefer the sub C, don't like the old "tuna can" clasps, it's what stopped me going Rolex for many years...
