Hi!

What do you think of my new gmt - is it a keeper? I think so even though it’s been polished and not mint but please give me your view :) (the lugs stress me the most)

schnipples24 · 26 January 2018, 05:16 AM

Lugs look fine to me! Beautiful watch, enjoy!

dmhines · 26 January 2018, 05:24 AM

Whats wrong with lugs? ...they are all thin from the factory on 5 digits from all that I have seen .

There will always be things you could, in theory, look to improve to original state with second hand watches. Its the nature of not being NOS! Doesnt look THAT bad to me at all; in fact, looks fine -, enjoy it! I've seen some in much worse condition...

sensui · 26 January 2018, 06:06 AM

Looks ok from what I can see here.....enjoy the watch.

V25V · 26 January 2018, 06:08 AM

Looks great to me, I see no problems here. The whole not polishing thing boggles my mind, unless of course your only objective is to keep its value as high as possible. But if your plan is to actually wear and enjoy it, who cares! Looks great.

donaldinc · 26 January 2018, 06:09 AM

Definitely a keeper. It's harder and harder to see this in the wild.

The Argonaut · 26 January 2018, 06:13 AM

Absolutely. Keep it. It looks in great condition. Unless new, or untouched LNIB and super expensive, all watches come with a history. Enjoy it.

Appreciate all your replies! Wasn’t exactly cheap so nice to hear I wasn’t totally off in buying it!

ancientmariner · 26 January 2018, 06:35 AM

Good choice

Rb10chris · 26 January 2018, 06:52 AM

I wouldn't mind the lugs, I've seen worse! Definitely a keeper

Keep and enjoy it!

TickTockChuck · 26 January 2018, 10:05 AM

Very nice Pepsi, congratulations! As long as all the parts are genuine, just wear it and enjoy. Don't get hung up on the polishing thing unless it's really bad, which is not your case. Cheers!

Boaters · 26 January 2018, 10:26 AM

From what I can see lugs and crown guards look great and very little bracelet stretch. It's a keeper for sure ... Congrats ...

watchwatcher · 26 January 2018, 10:30 AM

Looks good to me.

schoolboy · 26 January 2018, 11:09 AM
