WatchDog21 3,345 Posted November 22, 2017 Lots of deals out there so now I added 2 more possibilities. Looking at this one as possibly my next purchase. Can't really decide on the bezel color choice so maybe popular opinion can sway my decision. OR Khaki King Scuba OR.... Combat Sub Automatic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The red and blue are great colors, and very eye catching. You can always buy a spare black insert from Steinhart, so that you can swap them out if you get bored with it later on.

WatchDog21 3,345 Posted November 22, 2017 The spare bezel sounds like a good plan since it is the only real difference. I was originally thinking Pepsi but then I considered that I have a Seiko 7002, SKX009 and the SRP021 which are all a Pepsi bezel... but wait those are Seiko not Steinhart so I am not going to let that influence my decision...yet...

TheSav 2 Posted November 22, 2017 As much as I like the Pepsi bezel I voted black as I think it suits the style of the watch better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_B 2,401 Posted November 22, 2017 Pepsi looks like it's trying to be something it's not. Almost abit brash. I'd go for the understated black bezel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash64 17 Posted November 23, 2017 I wouldn't describe the black as plain - more like classic. Pepsi is also awesome. Go with what you like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheTinMan 13 Posted November 23, 2017 I have the Pepsi GMT in 42mm. I love the look, but I barely wear it. Same with my SKX009. It's so much easier to wear black; it just goes with everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since the price w/delivery is actually less expensive for me if I buy from Gnomon Watch I asked, "Can I but the opposite color bezel when I make my purchase?" Answer: Absolutely, yes! The next question is "Am I brave enough to do the bezel swap myself when the mood hits me?" Still undecided..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NFleischer 4,350 Posted November 23, 2017 I voted for Pepsi, personally I'd like to get the Ocean Titanium 'Batman'. It's smaller and more expensive. https://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/diver-watch/ocean-titanium-500-gmt-premium.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gnomon has that watch for $706 USD - delivered DHL 3 Days to the U.S.! I had set my spending limit to $550 so I will actually go over my limit but by only $10, but yes that is an eye catcher as well!
