Coke or Pepsi might be the wrong choices.
Always liked the all black GMT bezel myself. The Coke and Pepsi color schemes look great in photos, but personally I think I'd grow tired of the color. Black just seems more enduring, no nonsense, and so far remains a stalwart in my collection.
On a completely unrelated topic, there may be other reasons to avoid Coke/Pepsi varieties... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.for...addiction/amp/ |

Is it safe to....
I’m with you on the corn syrup, but I’d still like a coke in my collection. |

I very rarely treat myself to a glass of coca cola, no matter how good it tastes I feel guilty afterwards, pure poison.

I use carbonated soda pop to take the finish off golf clubs. One night in a bucket with pop and the chrome is gone. Good for reducing glare on wedges. Cannot imagine what that does to you insides.....

Being a test rodent is not a good gig.

I have had a black 16700 for a long time. I switched it up with a Coke and finally a Pepsi insert.
Then I went to a Pepsi GMT 16750 and finally to a Pepsi GMT 1675. Pepsi just seems natural now.

I think the older generation Pepsi are the best, the color is so vibrant. When compared to plain black I think there's no contest, Pepsi wins. However, older gen Pepsi compared to the new ceramic, it surprises me that the new one looks almost dull, the color is of a powder red and blue, it just doesn't pop like the old one does.
My vote is for the older gen Pepsi, just can't beat that classic. |

For me both are very bad for our health, I avoid them as much as possible.

That's crazy but for some reason doesn't really surprise me.

It's been consumed for a while, regularly in some cases. Just seems to make folk fat.. and burp/fart a lot.
