That is a stunner - gorgeous patina. Fantastic collection of GMTs you have.

Pretty pretty trio, John. Interesting how the insert fade is so similar each to each.

Thanks Mark. My thoughts exactly, which made for a nice "Kodak moment."

Thanks Vincent. It's getting close to "thinning out the herd" time but this never works out too well for me - seems like I'm always looking for the next gem.

Owned this for nine months, have not taken it off except to send it to RSC. The first Rolex I ever saw was a Pepsi that was 1970 in Hong Kong only waited 40+ years to get one.

This is a Pepsi only thread...

Congrats Jem1947. I waited 20 years to get my first one (2011 Explorer just bought here on the Forum) but it seems to be spending more time on my fathers wrist than mine!) I think it's time to start looking for a Pepsi. This thread has me drooling.

This is my my Pepsi GMT. It was given to me around 15 years ago by my father. I wear it sporadically, but always when I travel. I know very little about the watch and would love some insight if anyone has any!

Got my Pepsi back!



I posted a coupla pages back and mentioned I would re-post on receiving this back from the RSC. Just wanted to say how happy I was with the job done by RSF, SF. I asked them to retain as much patina as possible, and they really satisfied. Highly recommended!

(No that's not a scratch on the crystal - lens flare from camera :). )

@ Coldwarvet: You are referring to RSC in San Francisco on Post Street. Correct?

Recently sent it to Rikki for service and it came back looking like new... I like it so much I have a hard time letting others into the rotation.
