Back on Coke!

Ever since I sold my 16760 Fat Lady... I've been longing for GMT Coke....

Well, today, almost 2 years after I last bought a Coke GMT I'm back!


A "L" serial 16710 Coke bezelled GMT master 2.

I love her, just serviced with a wonderful like new oyster 78360 bracelet. Original dial and hands.

You're longing has been fulfilled. Were you aware that Coke tastes different here in the US?

I think Mexican Coke tastes best - real cane sugar, yum.

Sorry couldn't resist...

I can imagine it does, even though I've never noticed it. But Dr Pepper has definitely a different taste in the US. Too sweet over here.

I wan't Coke on my arm, but Pepper in my glass!
