Yet it did fade prior to her receiving it. Spoke to a guy in Harrods who was desperate to buy it. She has had an offer to simply buy the bezel from her.

She loves the fade.

I'm sorry I didn't catch how the bezel faded so much? My Pepsi was purchased new in the early nineties, worn every day and everywhere for its first 20 years and still hasn't faded.

I have a D Serial Pepsi - probably a year newer than his - and it's faded to a pinkish red, but not nearly as bad.....

I have no idea, I have seen both, watches older, vivid colours, and similar to my daughter's, almost tarnished fading.

"..I had moved to Europe and found GMT’s to be everywhere – especially in Italy where brighter colors seem to be appreciated. I got hooked on seeing faded Pepsi’s and Coke’s dangling off the wrists of sun-tanned Mediterranean’s – yep, I wanted one..."
