It's a design classic. I'll never part with my 16700.

I never wanted a GMT, really... Then I started wearing my Seiko Black Bay homage and enjoying the red of the bezel...

For some reason I found myself looking at Coke GMTs (prefer the black to the blue) - picked up a nice example a week later and haven't looked back!

I still am not a fan of the cyclops but the watch is such a good size and comfortable!

I am actually wearing it in preference to everything else in my collection, at the moment!

I bought mine for when traveling down under its so useful and being a 16700 its that little bit thinner and more comfortable then my Sub, if that's possible

Had mine ten years now and it gets easily the most wrist time. Can't decide whether to get a new bezel insert though as I did love the bright red. Would want to make sure I could keep the original though, I take it they can come out un-damaged....?

It amused me... the ubiquitous Rolex and the universal can of cola.

It got the nickname from the Pepsi logo, but the colours where that of Pan Am who asked Rolex to produce the watch in the 50s. I know most people on the watch forums know this, but there maybe one or two who do not rolleyes

And why is this relevant to me finding the picture amusing? OP asked me a question to which I replied, all quite politely. I can't see the point of your "rolleyes" tongue out

I am sorry if you think I was being a little sarcastic because it was never my intention. And your comment on my pic with the can is spot on. It's got to the point it is associated more with Pepsi then Pan Am
