Legendary Rolexes are all pre ceramic era and this pepsi is one of them.
There's no contest in my opinion. Can'r wait for Rolex to redesign the new GMT to those old proportions.

Pepsi! I find it paradoxical. Understated and flashy at the same time. Love it.

GMT as it's a smaller case size.

I think they are both 40mm. Pretty sure every aspect of the watch is the same except the bezel and the text on the dial.

I’m very ignorant on the subject but doesn’t the ability to track a second time zone allow the Explorer II to track GMT?

Also, if you search “GMT” on Rolex’s official site, you’ll get the Explorer II in the search results with the Master II

Pepsi. But if the Explorer II were a white dial it would be a much more difficult decision for me.
