Dave....glad you're liking the Pepsi Alpha GMT. Great review you wrote there, too. I completely agree with everything you said. The crown is definitely the weak point of the watch. I counted the number of clicks the bezel makes on 1 revolution and it was 110....kind of strange it's not 120, but oh well.
I have been amazed with the accuracy of my Pepsi GMT...just checked it and it's dead on +/- zero since March 1. I think it's just the luck of the draw though....my Alpha "Explorer II" is running closer to +10/day.
If you like the one you got and are going to buy another Alpha, I'd definitely recommend the Explorer II. To me, it seems to have a higher quality feel to it than the Pepsi GMT.

My Explorer II feels very solid. Even more so than my Alpha "Daytona" |

Just wanted to chime in here with the rest of you about Alpha. I haven't been posting for awhile, but I've been checking in and reading in the meantime. I saw the Alpha "craze" take off, and I jumped in silently. I guess everyone purchased from the same guy on eBay (collector 898).
Anyway, I just received my watches last weekend. I got the black and read bezel GMT and the white dial Explorer. I immediately gave the Explorer to my Dad, but kept the GMT. I wore it all last week until Friday, and it gained only 5 seconds. These watches are truly a value for what you get.
If it craps out in a year, I'll probably take the opportunity to learn a bit more about how mechanical watches work by stripping it apart. In the meantime, I'll just enjoy.
Brian
