1987 GMT Fat Lady....
Is it considered vintage? I have the opportunity to buy one. Boxes and papers and a recent RSC service. Also, I know they were only available worth a coke bezel. Is a Pepsi bezel available? Thanks all.

Also, does the fact it's a fat lady make it more desirable?

Yes, a sapphire crystal insert in the "Pepsi" color will fit on the 16760. The 16760
is considered collectible and when compared to the 16710, most would prefer the 16760.

I like that the fat lady sits a bit more proud on the wrist. |

I like the 16760 a lot and think it is different enough from past and future GMTs that it will always have a place with collectors.

Fat Lady in good conditions is not always easy to find.
If you have the opportunity go for it. Only 5 years of production and should be more collectible and valuable in the future |
