GMTii It is a classic you dont necessarily ever have to upgrade or become too fancy for. Looks better too - you probably knew that.. There are some nice Tissots and Invictas that have alot going on like the Tudor (my opinion - I dont mean to offend anyone )

Hmmm. I'd go Pepsi--it's a good long term keeper. You might flip Tudor.

The Pepsi is definitely a staple. However, at least for me anyway, a chrono is a more useful everyday complication than a GMT hand. So, I'd have to go with the Tudor.

The GMT is 1K more than the Tudor. But comes with both pepsi a coke inserts.

Tough, tough decision. I've always loved the old style GMT's but that Tudor looks sweet too. I'm not much help am I...

GMT...not even a thought over that Tudor
Then you can pick up a Black insert for $100 or so and have 3 watches...

If it were my first nice watch, I would buy the Tudor with that new car smell.

Tudor looks great and fit you perfectly. But GMT is beautiful and classic piece. So vote for GMT

Pepsi for sure. Not a fan of that Tudor and the Pepsi is already a classic and harder to source.

Judging from these photos alone I'd have to say the Tudor looks better on your wrist, however the Rolex would be the more popular choice. Just think it over and go with your instincts, you wont be disappointed either way
