After looking for a nice vintage GMT pepsi for a LONG time, I have finally found what I was looking for.
A truly NOS unworn 16750 Pepsi GMT Master (8.9 mil), with beautiful patina

I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking

(also posted in the Vintage Forum)

The questions now is to wear or not to wear!

TSW · 28 September 2011, 06:29 AM

Great acquisition and wonderful patina.

Enjoy it thoroughly.

conrail · 28 September 2011, 06:38 AM

Oh man that's nice. Too nice that I wouldn't even want to wear it for fear of giving it its first scratch :)

WOW! WOW! WOW! Congratulations! How did you get that piece?

It's amazing!!! Don't know if you should wear it often or not.

Too amazing!!!!

I typically don't give 'congrats' posts, but this one is a winner. All I can say is 'Wow'....chamfers are still dead mint on those lugs!

ufboy73 · 28 September 2011, 07:28 AM

you better weat that beauty!

yessir69 · 28 September 2011, 07:35 AM

Holy crap.

BaltimoreBrian · 28 September 2011, 07:44 AM

First, congrats! As a newbie, I can see that this piece is immaculate with that nice patina.

Question: other than it's condition and patina, are there other specific things to look for in a vintage Pepsi? Are there specific years that are more valuable or serial numbers or other chracteritics to consider?

And again, congrats!

dddrees · 28 September 2011, 07:47 AM

Great looking example, Congrats.
