Thought 1675 Pepsi
Hi,
I was wondering if there are any thoughts about this 1979 piece, it's going for about $14k - is the insert appropriate for its age? - are the lugs over polished? Thanks! |

The first photo, the magnification looks low. Otherwise nice patina.

Lupe might seem off due to proximity of phone's lens.
I love it. Perfect insert, thick lugs though it has been polished. All around great even coloration of T hands/plots! |

Also, is this gear supposed to be yellow/gold instead of silver?
Thanks! |

The mainspring barrel is what youre pointing too and normally they are gold coloured. Aftermarket replacement as a genuine Rolex part would be brass. However its a cosmetic thing that doesnt affect the function and a genuine barrel isnt difficult to find to replace at some future service. |

Not really. Mainspring barrels are a routinely replaced item at service much like car tyres, but certainly Id have it replaced by the correct one at some future stage. If youre buying this watch you might be able to use it as a bargaining chip!! |

This is a good resource for service dials...

While Mark V and Mark VI dials can be found on much earlier GMTs - when they were used as service dials before the introduction of the Rolex service dials - they are regular production dials and should not be confused with the later production service dials. The service dials at gmtmaster1675.com are very confusing and I wish he would remove the non service regular production dials from the known service dials.

Would a service dial be worth considerably less than it is listed for? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk |

did you bother to actually read any of the guides that the other members have given to you?
Frustrating that you just keep asking questions despite the other member's attempt to steer you in the right direction to do your own research |

Yes I do. I also believe it is useful to have more than a singular source of information, especially on topics where there is a scarcity of information and no official documents to confirm the veracity.
Case in point, springer pointing out some discrepancy on gmtmaster's site. And I am grateful for those who have been gracious and taken time off to share their expertise. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk |
