Authenticity of this 16710 Pepsi
I m looking for a good condition Pepsi 16710 and came across this piece. It looks great with paper and everything but it's strange that it has a "Swiss made" dial but a non-SEL bracelet, which shouldn't be the case according to http://www.gmtmasterhistory.com/gmt-...ref_16710.html
Any thoughts?   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

  Resending the photos. The sides of the links are always polished. The dial is not maxi. The only fishy thing is the Swiss made dial plus non-sel bracelet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Might be an older bracelet. Can you see the clasp code?

The original dial may have been replaced with a superluminova service dial. Happens all the time.

It almost looks like the GMT Hand is behind the hour hand...

I was going to comment that the hand stack looks weird to me too

The GMT hand IS under the hour hand...but, the hand placement is a clever way to hide that fact.

Seems that the GMT hand is underneath the hour hand --> fake.
The way the hands are positioned is very suspicious - most likely to hide that fact. |
