If you’re talking about the OP, it does have lume in the hands and at the ends of the indices.
Ah, okay. Lume on the hands I saw, but that often doesn't warrant "T" marking on the dial. But wasn't sure if I saw it on indices or if they reflected light differently just because of the different angle bevel.

Oh, now I notoced it's clearly visible, even to me 😅, on 12 o'clock indice.

Searching some Coca Cola history I do see why there are so many people that collect the memorabilia.
I’m surprised that you haven’t brought up this Australian “Classic”:

Go find it on your local streaming service.

3671 plus taxes and fees. Seems lower than I would have thought but more than I would pay as not my wheel house.

3200 was my maximum bid. I already thought that wouldn't be enough.

Haha - I put a bid in at 3250. Figure if I got it there it was a steal. Didnt expect to win it.

Quite the opposite. I think the caseback also devalues the piece. Had this been a „regular“ example in otherwise identical condition I would’ve expected more.

So no premium for the logo, apparently.
Maybe a small premium on the dial to a Coke collector.

However, I’m not a fan of the engraving on this particular example, given how pretty the original casebacks are on this model.

I think that held the price back a bit.

I would see the logo fetching more of a premium on something more sporty like an OP. Not on a pie pan.

Yeah, I think so too. Pie Pan being more of a gentleman's watch and Coke isn't really a gentleman's drink 😅

What if you add some Jim Beam to it? Or Maker's Mark?

Personally I feel any branding other than an expensive jeweller like Tiffany and co would not fit in.

In the Coke or in an Omega dial?

Thinking about it there aren't many drink brands I would like to see on a Pie Pan dial. Jim Beam is too cheap for it, but maybe The Macallan or Henri IV.

Oh, I don't mean I would personally drink those 2 brands regularly 😅. Just that they would have the level of prestige I would associate the Pie Pan family have. From sodas Coke is in my mind the best choice (I know, the Coke Pepsi war incoming... 😂).
