Thirst no more, Pepsi is here!!! (many photos)
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! |

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! |
