Just took delivery of a new purchase,

A F Series gmt 16710 pepsi, had it apart all the serials match up have a shop tag with serial and a cert however,

This is the first watch i've had that has the diamond style certificate and the picture on this (the tag pic) is not embossed like on the normal ones?

Is this normal

and the watch..

mderagon · 22 December 2011, 07:49 AM

the country code also looks strange in that it look slike some of the dots from the 0 of the 160 (uk) are missing ?

mderagon · 22 December 2011, 07:50 AM

Another pic if it helps at all.

mderagon · 22 December 2011, 07:53 AM

and a full frontal as they say in the movies !!!

77T · 22 December 2011, 11:00 AM

Beautiful GMT

The cert looks OK except 2 of the perforation pins on the stamping unit that were punching the zero must've jammed when embossing. They just didn't plunge down when the operator pushed the button.

mderagon · 22 December 2011, 08:14 PM

Any more opinions still have not had any sleep !!!

Don't worry your warranty bit of paper being a F serial is well out of date now.The most important bit is the watch and not a outdated bit of paper.

Just makes the pack' seem conspicuous, but the watch 'feels' right and i've managed to find the laser etching after many hours sitting o my head!!

HL65 · 22 December 2011, 10:04 PM

Enjoy the watch--the Cert looks fine to me also. Again it isn't like you can go out and use it toward the warranty.

Linzjnr · 22 December 2011, 11:32 PM

Beautiful watch

azguy · 23 December 2011, 12:49 AM

Relax and enjoy, it is just an outdated peice of a paper

HyperM3 · 23 December 2011, 12:56 AM

Please correct me if Im wrong but from all the Pepsi bezels Ive seen, the red continues slightly into the 8 on the "18" and by the 6 it looks like the blue shows through under the red.

You have already had the experts chime in saying it is all good... Padi and SteelerFan, it doesnt get any better than these two veterans

Enjoy your new watch and get some sleep

mderagon · 24 December 2011, 05:42 AM
