Some amazing watches her guys! I have two Pepsis now, a 1675 and a 16710 which I rotate with my Seadweller/Subs. Classic looking watches

I started this thread a while back. It now has 30,593 views. Here is what started this thread- I bought a 1960's pepsi, sold it, then bought a 1971 pepsi- sold that one as well. Now I am getting ready to acquire another pepsi.. I can't wait. I will definitely keep this one...!

Owned mine for about a year and I haven't worn it in a while. I really like the Pepsi as the original GMT with the Pan Am tradition behind it (not to mention the new WG one seems to have made them more popular).

Great watches, folks - some real beauties.

Here's another one for the thread: Nicely patinated early MK1 matte dial, with 'long E', and faded fuchsia insert, on unpolished case (1.6mil. 1967):

My wife gave me this 16700 many years ago and it was my first Rolex. I have had many great experiences wearing it including the birth of my first son and a few good stories with it as well (stolen by a small thief and recovered after 2 years). I really have moved in a vintage direction taste wise so I have been coveting some of the beautiful 1675's you all have been posting but I don't think I can ever trade this watch out for sentimental reasons.
I still wear my Pepsi in rotation on a regular basis and probably alway will.

Great shots all

-How long have you owned it...?

3 months, just got it back this week from authentication and tune up.
Not cheap but 2 years warranty now and happy with work. It's a 1970.

A small kiss right above the 24h that was present when I purchased the watch but that's okay. Character.

-How much time does it get in your rotation...?

I work too laborious of a job to chance at wrecking it daily so I'm thinking it will get about 8 days a month.

-Why you own a Pepsi, not a coke or black bezel insert...?

Pepsi is the ONLY choice. I always wanted 'A' rolex and after much research this is my one and only.

Pepsi>Coke :-)

Can anyone tell me anything good or bad about my watch regarding what I got? Feel free to do so via pm.
