New arrival - 1675 Pepsi
This arrived a few days ago, my first vintage Pepsi. I've owned a couple of modern sapphire versions, the 16700 and 16710. There's something about the matte dial and warm plexi crystal on these vintage watches that I love.
Photos to celebrate the open 9 Friday! |

I have to admit being very partial to plexi and matte as well!
Elegant and yet comfortable and pleasing to wear. It looks like an awesome watch! Enjoy it in good health! Tom |

Thanks everyone! In addition to being beautiful, the 1675 is ultra comfortable. I think it's a keeper!

Interesting idea. One of my 1680s has the tropic 19 non-cyclops crystal and I like it, but there is also something very cool about the magnified silver date wheel. Particularly on an open 6 or 9 day!
I think my current collection represents a really nice diversity of plexi goodness. I have the top hat 127 for one of the 1680s, the 19 on the other 1680 and then the 116 on my new 1675. I had started this thread to help analyze the differences between the crystals. Jocke's picture is so awesome. |

Eric. True. I am getting one just to have but don't think I'm switching out. The current crystal is very cool. Rich
