new addition!!!

I finally did it today! I bought a like new condition F series gmtII with box and papers at a descent price (almost 40% below retail). I swapped the black bezel with a used pepsi one because i really liked how the red was fading
So, do you like my new love?

Congratulations, awesome discount.
The faded bezel gives it a well worn look.
You can't go wrong with any colour bezel insert.
Enjoy your new watch :)

Enjoy the pepsi GMT. Great watch. They seem to be addicting lately. Must be the sugar.
Wear it in good health.

Enjoy.

thanks guys..i have to tell you..i have owned SD, Sub-date, LV, TT blue sub, Pam127 and TT datejust in the past.
This is the best watch i ever had. It never meant anything to me in the store. However the pepsi gmt is unbelievable in person. You only realise it's beauty when you own it
