I bought it from a dealer earlier today. 5.4M serial, pretty sure it is an MK5 dial and the hands/dial have matching patina so I have to believe it is original to the watch given the serial. Insert is a blue back. Case is in great shape with no pitting. It's been polished in the past but I can tell it has only been polished maybe 1-2 times as there is still a slight bevel. Bracelet is a 98360 but the end links are 580/501B and the clasp is labeled with a VB, so it is a pieced together bracelet but still a Rolex unit. The only slight negative is the back of the case has a two small engravings/marking with a serial, which looks like possible a number from a storage lot seizure.

I paid $10,000 for it. I think I did ok?

Really nice patina. A really good choice. Compared to European prices, I think it a fair one

Went to Lange, then shifted to Panerai for their historical models. I've always been a fan of the vintage look, and the Pepsi GMT is one of the best looking out there.

I’d bet prices changed just a wee bit from 8yrs ago.

The matte dial on your 1675 is particularly nice. Wear it well. Can you post the caseback engraving? I am curious
