16700 tiffany dial question

I've had a pepsi 16700 (I think thats the model reference since I haven't actually taken off the bracelet for a lack of proper tool to confirm it) for approximately 6 years. I got it as a gift, and back then, I didn't question the watches authenticity. My parents got it from someone that I would consider a reputable dealer (my dad knew personally). However, it came with no box or papers, and from what I've read, that is a red flag especially when it comes to double-branded pieces.

I would really appreciate it if anyone who's had experience with this watch and tiffany dials could at least tell me if the watch looks correct. Thank you all very much!

Better close ups would help. No papers just means a collector won’t pay top dollar for it and hurts the value. Does not mean it’s fake. But with so many fakes out there most people won’t buy one without papers...I have never seen a Tiffany 16700 and those pics are too blurry but from what I see it looks pretty legit and factory to me....

The issue with Tiffany dials is that there are no records to verify that the watch was sold by Tiffany.

If the watch has provenance: original Tiffany box (yes, they were different), sales receipt, and guaranty, it makes identification more likely. Otherwise, it is just a nice watch with an unverified dial.

Please start your own thread so that your watch isnt confused with the original poster of this thread. Provide many clear and up close pics including all of the paperwork. We dont normally give value evaluations but a general range could possibly be provided once you post pics.

Better pics to help you are needed especially of the Tiffany & Co. writing on the dial that's what makes it especial

Better pics of the dial... good news is the dial can be refinished, but everything else kosher.
