Wanting my first vintage

I got the itch for a vintage peice. I thought I wanted a sub, but since I already have 4 I'm thinking my first vintage will be a GMT Pepsi. love the look of the matte dial and plexi. Any advise would be greatly appreciated, as I don't know much about vintage. Where to look? How much am I looking at for a complete set? Thanks

A 1675 is an absolute staple in any vintage collection, IMHO.As for which to pick, well, I wish I can help you.....start browsing this section, search 1675, and read, read, read........and read more for good measure.Theres a wealth of knowledge here.Of course you want a matching dial/hands watch, a period correct bracelet, etc.Our trusted sellers here have what you want.Good luck.You can't go wrong with a vintage GMT.......they will always be in style

If you are considering a 1675 or other GMT just look at this forum. JB has posted some good information on dials and is always helpful. I love their look and versatility. Change an insert and the whole watch has a different look. Good luck and don't forget to check out the good sellers here on the forum. M

Buy the sellers of course and let them know what you are looking for. I've had excellent results with putting my desires out there and letting the sellers do the locating with their connections. Good luck.

Vintage 1675 GMT Pepsi is a really nice piece - picked one up myself a few months back to go with my Subs and have had it on ever since.
