I'd never wear it and it's certainly derivative, but not terrible looking.

We're reaching "peak watch". I can't wait for this whole thing to deflate when all the dummies move on to something else.

I dont dislike it, clearly Rolex Pepsi GMT homage but whatever, beats buying a fake one if you can't afford the real thing

Honestly if Rolex released that exact same watch at Basel 2018 and charged $10k the waitlist period would be measured in years.

Heuer have been doing Pepsi bezels since the 60's.. so I don't see why there is a complaint about 'originality' .. :shrug:
I fucking hate the old 'Rolex snobbery', especially when people are misinformed.

1970/71.. (my old GMT)

1968.. (from my buddy Heuerworld)..

84' GMT
Image

'75 GMT

Also, that faceted bezel draws on their own heritage..

Tag should pull an Omega and reissue any or all of those.
I'd get one before a Rolex GMT.

I like it, and it seems to be done nicely. Rolex doesn't own the pepsi bezel as Seiko has made a few sweet pieces as is this TAG Heuer. Never been a TAG fan though I did like what Heuer was doing back in the day, there was always one TAG that I lusted after and they discontinued it... those dicks :bird: ! It was the Aquagraph and was a badass dive chronograph and the pusher could be used under water, It's one watch I really wished I had picked up but you just don't see them anymore, back in the day when this forum was Y3 and mainly for the banned, outlawed and misfits it was a very cool watch.. Wonder what Sean is up to these days, but I digress and lets get back on topic, to me the watch looks pretty sweet. :shrug:

Cool. So tag huer has been aping the GMT (1954) since before they were tag. Those are cool looking watches, but their derivative of the GMT's most striking feature. It's not snobbery to know that. It also doesn't make those watches bad. It's just the way it is.
