I finally found a white 1675 from the original owner. The case is fat fat fat....unpolished and the hands and dial are WHITE. Even the insert has the thick font and some patina....

Sweet...congrats! Since it's from the original owner, were you able to retrieve original boxes, paperwork, etc.?

I need to get a Pepsi insert to make it look less like the 1680 though:thumbsup:

I got the original (maybe) inner box and his service pouch and post-service booklet. I am going to sell the box as I am not a box collector

The watch is a 4.4 million 1675 from 1975

Original stuff like boxes and paperwork really add to vintage Sports models' value...you should consider hanging on to them.

Three beautiful watches you have there Harold. Congrats on the GMT, it's stunning and I agree, a Pepsi bezel would set it off perfectly.

Great find, Harold. I have a friend interested in selling his Pepsi GMT Master about the same age. Can you tell me what you paid for it? I do not know the value of the older GMT's. Thanks.

I also thought we were talking about the even-more-rare white dial GMT!

Yours is spectacular, though. :thumbsup:

Well...yeah.

I like my vintage watches to look like they did in 1974-68-77...etc....


I do not care for patina at all.

I agree, I really like the new look of the vintage dials. However, just a little patina can be kind of cool too to give a watch that vintage look.
