Correct "Pepsi" Bezel for my 1675?

[2nastie]

Hey everyone,

Been contemplating adding a "Pepsi" bezel to spice up my "barn-find" 1675 GMT I purchased last year. Wanted to get the forum's thoughts on what the period correct bezel insert would be.

Here are some quick facts on the watch:

Model: 1675
Serial #: 5.6 million
Age: 1978
Dial: Mark V

Any specific details on the "Pepsi" bezel I should target for something period correct?

Down the line, I might add an oyster bracelet as well. Watch is going in for a serivce shortly and I will likely send the jubilee bracelet out for some stretch repair... been a bit lazy to do work on it recently due to covid.

Thanks in advance!

This would work for me - circa later part of the 1970s.

Thanks! Is this the red back version? Is there a specific variation/generation name for this version of the Pepsi bezel?

Yes it's a red back. As far as naming it - it is a later 70s insert. There are no "mark" numbers that I know of regarding the inserts. The best way to identify these inserts is the era from which they seem to have been found on the vintage GMTs.
