Evening All

I've been looking for a vintage 1675 GMT Pepsi and whilst I'm enjoying learning and researching about them during the search it seems to be a minefield of variations.

So I'm turning to you guys in the hope that you can help with one that I like the look of as I know you will be able to tell a lot more than I ever could from the pictures below and ideally give me the good and bad on this particular watch.

Its reported as being a 1969-1970 production but it has a serial number beginning 298 which from my research puts it at 1972. That's my first query.

Secondly, the fond on the dial I cant match to any that I've found so please comment.

Should I go ahead and purchase or is this a fake or Frakenwatch??? Asking price is $7,600 btw.

I really appreciate any and all your thoughts both good, bad and precautionary.

Welcome to the forum!

Depending what guide you use for the serial, you will get different answers. It is probably a 1970 but the best way to find out is to remove the case back and check the date stamp.

With that said, as a 1970 watch, appears all the main parts were changed along the way..dial/hands/insert with quite a bit of polishing.

Dial is a Mk-4.

IMO, the price is high for a watch in that condition.
