Incoming!!!
Well thanks for all the feedback about my possible trade.

I did the 200 mile round trip to see this beauty and it was exactly as described. A beautiful full set, and a safe queen.

Delighted with it. Thanks for all the advice

AK gone sadly. If I had enough funds I'd have kept it.
Thanks for the nice comments

Seems to have been very well looked after.

Yeh the bezel inserts are interchangeable. It comes with black, Pepsi and Coke bezel inserts.

That's awesome! I'm not a big watch collection guy and don't really get the allure of having 4 or 5 very similar looking watches that each have to be stored, serviced, perhaps insured, etc. But the idea of being able to change the look of a GMT significantly in a few minutes with a different bezel or perhaps bracelet is really appealing. Have fun with it!

I didn't know there were any models on which you could do that. Great feature, and a great looking specimen. Congrats!

Thanks!! I love the Pepsi so have no plans to change the bezel insert. There's a chance I could change it to Coke at some point.

However Pepsi is the one for me for the near future.
