My three...



The gilt dial in the middle is now sporting a denim/copper insert which suits it much more than the more vibrant Pepsi...

Red fading much faster than the blue on this 2000 Pepsi. Under lower light levels it sometimes looks like a Coke.

Hi John,

I might have missed your earlier comments but these are all yours?! Wow, great collection here! Just like Mic's, the middle one with the fushia / marine blue stood out like a sparkling diamond. envy!!!

Mine is faded a lot like lhanddds' on the blue (lighter on the outside and darker on the inside - kinda worn denim look) but the red has a cranberry color that is slightly purple, depending on the light:
