Incoming....... finally a complete one and my own GMT club (picture heavy)

I will make a long incoming story short! as I want to share my excitement with my TRF family!

Initially didn’t care for colored bezels then started liking the 16710 Pepsi in late 2017 ( for $7000 :dumb:) then decided to wait for Basel 2018 to see if one is released. I thought I made the right decision and now will upgrade to the “better” Pepsi!

My awesome AD delivered and I got the MKI Pepsi, absolutely LOVE IT but still didn’t take care of the itch for a 5 digit versatile GMT
With a ceramic Pepsi in my collection I started craving a coke!

My procrastination continued l, and with it the prices started sky rocketing!!!

I finally found my perfect set!!
Unpolished
SEL
no holes
Box and papers

Sourced correct year booklets and was able to get the two other bezel colors.......

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, here it is



And noI meet my own GMT club

And the whole family

Ugh, you'll hate it, it's so old. I'll take it off your hands & save you the hassle of selling it

Very respectable collection, OP. Nice bunch of ticktocks you've got.
