John your GMT is stunning. This will cause a little drooling in the Omega forum at WUS.

Here are a couple of pics of my 1675 GMT. I bought it new in Liverpool in August 1967 and it has been my daily watch ever since - 47 years! It has only been off my wrist when away for servicing and these days I don't wear when out on my bike or doing any particularly rough jobs around the house/garden. I do have a 'spare' watch - a Seiko - but I rarely wear it.

Stan.

Nice one, Stan.

Is that the original bracelet? Do you remember why you chose the Jubilee over the Oyster bracelet?

Hi Mark,

No, the original bracelet was the 'standard' GMT Oyster expandable type. I bought the Jubilee bracelet in 1969 when two of the links of the original failed - I preferred the look of the Jubilee and it was also non-expandable, which I also preferred. I still think the Jubilee looks better than the Oyster but that, of course, is just a matter of personal opinion.

I still have the original Oyster bracelet (complete with failed links) tucked away with the watch documentation.

Regards,
Stan.

I have owned mine for about 6 months and to be honest nothing else gets worn anymore. I never thought anything would replace my Sub. Any way here are a few pics

Vintage GMT Pepsi

Hi, I need help. Recently I came across a GMT Pepsi and I am not sure if I should buy it or not. I love older watches, but I don’t know if this is to beaten up. It is in working condition. I am not sure about the year, will only find out in a few days. Any advice please!?

OK, will post another after its visit to RNY. Worn nearly every day for 32 years and 9 months. Approximately 1 million air miles. And, yes, I know, it looks it! :)

I have owned the 16750 since Feb 2014.

I got the 1675 yesterday !

They get their weekly rotation days.

Why did I get them?

I recently traded my Hulk Sub for this bad boy!
Once I found out that the new Pepsi was going to be WG only, I knew I had to make the call and finally pick up a Pepsi. This guy is totally mint and loving every minute of it!
