OK , so the Sub has a page and I thought it was about time that the GMT got a thread too. So I'll start with my 1675 Root-beer from 1970. I know there are several more GMTs lurking on the forum.

Today, Modern bezel

Older faded silver brown gold faded bezel.

Original faded bezel.

Here's Clint wearing my watch😁

Yes and in several other films too, as well as off camera.

Here's a late 60's Pepsi I had for a short time to shoot pictures and sell.

That particular watch wasn't mine. I was paid to sell it because the owner wasn't good at shooting pics. I did get to wear it for a while.

However, I have owned Rolex before including a ss & white gold DateJust with a copper / salmon dial.

Calling it salmon make you feel less self-conscious about it being pink? 😉

Pink, salmon, cherry blossom, flamingo, berry, Pepto Bismal.... whatever you want to call it, I liked it on that watch enough to own it for a couple years.

No, not me. I'll keep my eye out for you though since I have many contacts on several forums. I have friends in high, low, and medium places.

Um, yeah...... neither really. I'd settle for Rolex well before Archie though. 😜

Man I wish I had the cash at the time to purchase that one, that was a great example. Here's my '63 Gilt with PCGS:

You were meant to be buying more Omegas, not GMTs 😜

They do look nice though those 1675s with the faded pepsi bezels

It must have been the Others 😉

Yep, I particularly like the faded versions. And it's my FIRST birth year watch ..... Not sure it'll be my last though if I hang around here too long!

You seen the fade on my 1680 sub? Its pretty extreme but still completely even

As long as you don't impinge on my year (1966) there's no problem. 😜
