Just a quick shot I took of two Pepsi's with a couple of differences. The warmth of the white gold really stands out next to steel

Left for me!

Love Pepsis. I can’t see much of a difference optically between WG and SS.

Two beauties! As special as the meteorite dial is, I actually prefer the contrast of the black dial. Nice to have both.

GrantD · 28 January 2023, 11:50 PM

Wow. My 2 most favourite ever

I feel your pain, I have the same issues!!

MJZRolex · 28 January 2023, 11:56 PM

Two great watches. Seeing them side-by-side, I think I prefer the black face to the meteorite. I'm sure you enjoy both, I would.

Not even a battle. This is like a heavyweight against featherweight in the ring.

Nice pair of watches but for me I can't see the colour difference for the plasticwrap....

tifosi · 29 January 2023, 12:03 AM

I can’t see the warmth of the WG through the plastic…

RDT-G23 · 29 January 2023, 12:06 AM

The Superman all day, every day. It is my favorite piece I own.

I'd be happy with both of them.

For me, I agree. Couldn't pull the trigger for the extra expense to have something that optically looks like the lesser metal as far as being viewed on the wrist is concerned. Yes, I've tried on both...

I'm assuming the SS is on the right. I have the SS and very happy with it. I do like TT versions of a variety of Rolex references. I'm not anti gold, just not a fan of WG.

wgdaytona · 29 January 2023, 12:12 AM

Two great watches, no doubt. I love WG. But, I will say that I'm probably in the minority not preferring the meteorite. I absolutely think it's very cool, but I just cannot read them when glancing at my watch. So, I prefer the black dial for readability. I could also just be my crappy eyes.

Great looking watches but something looks strange about them both. Have you got those protective stickers stuck all over them?

mdtddd2007 · 29 January 2023, 12:15 AM

left is nicer. Congratulations.

WG with blue dial

Yes both have got protective stickers on which is why it looks a bit strange. The steel version is mine and it was my first time trying it out so I was curious to see how "durable" it really is. That said, I much prefer it without like on my other watches.

I’m the total opposite. I think they look completely different. WG has a warm, almost champagne tint to it. It’s personal preference, but I’m into the fact that no one but me knows my watch is solid gold. To each their own.

StanGMT · 29 January 2023, 12:30 AM

Black face, preferably on Jubilee, every time.

Stan.

Good taste! I love WG but haven't experienced one for a long enough time to purchase it. I'm a sucker for YG

I'd love to add a jubilee bracelet to swap around. The oyster bracelet reminds me of the first gen WG black dial Pepsi! If you know you know!

Robf52 · 29 January 2023, 12:39 AM

A high class problem. Either. Both.

Calatrava r · 29 January 2023, 12:40 AM

Recently saw the WG meteorite and it certainly looks very good in the flesh. Really pops. I would opt for the WG of the two.

ap1 · 29 January 2023, 12:48 AM

No brainer, sans stickers

David5807 · 29 January 2023, 01:00 AM

I'm partial to WG, so I will be going with the model on the left.

1William · 29 January 2023, 01:04 AM

Nice watches.

m3tek44 · 29 January 2023, 01:04 AM

Superman all day everyday! Must see in person to appreciate.

ww2gunguy · 29 January 2023, 01:20 AM

Hands down the meteorite….the only thing that would make that better would be a WG jubilee band!!!!
