My birth year. I own a 1675, but I’ve been tempted to pick up a 16750 recently.

Enjoy it.

Congrats!!! It certainly is a beauty...I am also in the hunt for one! There is something about a vintage GMT Pepsi that keeps putting a smile on me every time I see one on this awesome forum! Thanks for sharing your incoming!

A 79 is always special because it's a birth year for me too. Great looking piece. Enjoy wearing it.
