First Vintage: 16750 Pepsi

Well I took the plunge with my first vintage piece!

A beautiful 1981 16750 Pepsi. I am absolutely in love with it, though I am definitely going to invest in some polywatch as i'm sensing the acrylic crystal and my girlfriend are going to have some bad run-ins

That's my favorite gmt master. Pepsi bezel, matte dial, quick-set, plastic crystal. It's a great watch. Enjoy!!

Very nice watch. This is a true classic. You should get a black bezel to change the look every once in a while, then change back to the Pepsi. That way, you'll have two watches for the price of one!
