GMT PEPSI new-126710 v. old-1675 Comparison and Vote Now

[Lol-x]

Thanks to DavidSW for making this possible

These are the size statistics:

GMT 126710 v. GMT 1675
Watch thickness: 12.3mm, 12.8mm
Twin Lock Crown: Diameter 6.9mm, 5.1mm
Bezel diameter: 40.2mm, 39.4mm
Case diameter excluding bezel: 41mm, 38.8mm
Lug width drop-out:19.9mm, 19.7mm
Total Lug length tip to tip: 47.7mm, 47.0mm
Crystal/plexi diameter: 29.9mm, 29.5mm

So we are not talking sheep stations in size difference.
It is surprising that the overall height of the vintage GMT is greater than the modern version.
Also overall the dimensions have not changed greatly.
The crown diameter is significantly different and the case diameter is a little greater in the modern version.

Pretty similar on the outside apart from lug width....

Thick case and wider crown

Plexi crystal adds to height of the 1675

The creamy goodness is hard to pass on the 1675

The new version has definitely bulked up over vintage

40 years old and the 1675 still going strong which is a testament to the movement and overall package!!!

Thanks again to DavidSW for allowing me to make this comparison

So which do you prefer??
