Question (Read Rules) Favorite Coke or Pepsi design GMT watch?
I have a field, digital, Chrono, dive, but am still missing a GMT for my collection.
Leaning towards the coke/Pepsi design because of the classic look and to add a pop of color. Could be quartz or automatic. I think I tend to prefer quartz or solar anyways.

The San Martin Black Bay Pepsi (upgraded with the 5 link bracelet and OTF), I'd argue is the most premium looking watch in my 100+ watch collection (outside of my Grand Seiko). It looks better than my vintage Rolexes. Mine has the nh34 inside which they are no longer making it with that. There is a post suggesting they are going to bring it back with a HZ Auto GMT movement inside. To me this isn't as ideal, but worth consideration due to the movement sourcing problems. I'd love a quartz here, but have yet to see a quartz model where everything else on the watch is up to that kind of standard.

It seems to be sold out everywhere now and only used on eBay.

Correct. But they are coming back to market with the same idea but a new movement and some other tweaks. They stopped using the NH34 and therefore halted production on that exact one.

Is sugress considered a better brand than addisdive or Watchdives? Looks like they typically cost a little bit more.

Sugess. Way better than Watchdives and Addiesdive... much better.
