ok so no concerns necessary... ? i thought it looked fat but not faded
i sometimes see really faded examples and then doubt kicks in, should i look for a very faded one or not
anyway thanks for your input !

Yes, indeed, but that sounds better than it is. Warhol made editions of 250 of these Soup Cans. So, this is one of 250. Nice, of course, but not a unique print.

John, I am always glad to see these pics - this case should be pictured in Wikipedia as " unpolished"

thanks, I knew he did multiple prints - a friend of mine had one, along with a Picasso and a few others! Still great to have

Your insert is a fat font "serif" insert, not original to the watch but most likely manufactured in the middle of the seventies as far as I know, but quite a rare bird, wether in black or Pepsi.

On the beach enjoying some local brew with my 1984 16750 all original except for a few gaskets and a plexi crystal

IMO the plexi GMT is the understated vintage gem in that they are fabulous and can still be gotten for a reasonable price.
Great watches all....
