Tag Heuer makes a GMT Pepsi??

Guess so. I saw it at a jewelry store while dropping off the wife’s earrings for repair. 43mm Aqua Racer GMT.

I’ve seen the Steinhart GMT Pepsi but never the Tag. I only keep up with Rolex and Omega though so it’s not surprising. What other Pepsi GMTs have folks seen?

The white Steinhart gives an indication of what a white SS PepC might look like. Think it is a possibility.

Mmmmmm... The white dial is nice. Choices like with the Explorer II would be awesome.

Ya, it came out a couple months ago. I work part time in a Jared store and we carry Tags. I have been trying to get one in the store to see what it looks like, but it says its for pre orders only. Not sure if I am going to be able to see one in person. I have my new Pepsi GMT, I just wanted to compare it to the Tag. I have tried to post pics of my Pepsi, but the Forums keeps saying the file is to big. I cant get it sized right. Its just from my Iphone 7 and I have never had problems in the past with posting pics.......

I think the tag looks pretty good. I haven't owned a tag for a while, but I'd consider that if only to try and scratch the itch for a fraction of the cost!

I wasn't a big fan of white on SS, think there needs to be more contrast, but the D500 crisp white looks great so I think this combo could work on a PepC.

My first non-junker watch was a Tag. Served me well for several years until I discovered Omega Seamasters. Tag is a good - not great, but good - brand when you figure in cost.

My freind has the BLNR Tag F1. Asthetically it looks good and if I’m not mistaken a better sized 41mm. That said it’s a Tag and I am no fan of the brand. In short you get what you pay for

Rolex is the original from 1954 and is head and shoulders above the rest. My second choice would probably be a Steinhart or maybe a Mark II. But those are distant seconds.

I have seen this new Tag in person last week at an AD. It is a very nice watch and sells for a very reasonable $2650. They are hard to come by.

Get a photo resizer from the app store and make the picture no bigger than 1250 x 1250

I've never owned a TAG, but I've always seen them as offering a solid product with a lot of bang for the buck in terms of brand recognition and reputation among the general population.

It may be this particular photo, but I'm not fond of that one.

That’s fugly. I came from Swiss army to tag to breitling to Rolex etc. Tag Heuer is a brand I love. That one is derivative junk. I still have my late 90s f1 and often miss my carrera chrono.

If someone asks for a watch recommendation and can’t swing a Rolex/breitling or Omega/nomos I often recommend tag. Sure Seiko makes more bang per buck but sometimes people want a little brand power and tag has that in that market.
