New Addition - GMT Pepsi

My initial thoughts of the Pepsi was ... "Its not for me." Funny how things change. Over the past few months this watch has become my obsession. Well I lucked out and stumbled across a great deal on a mint condition M serial with the 3186 movement. It was born with a Coke insert but the AD threw a Pepsi insert in the deal. I could not wait to share a photo of my new jewel.


My only issue is now my WIFE has taken a shine to it. I am not really good with sharing my toys.

Should I say congratulations for buying a beautiful new watch or sorry for having to give it to your wife?

Great picture, hope to see a lot of them soon!

Beyond sweet, and to find at a dealer...... SCORE!

Good line on the "funny how things change" with respect to the pepsi insert.... it just grows on you.
