  1. Hi, not the vintage expert, but had a gen one in my hands yesterday, as I wanted to buy it. It was a "Pepsi" from 1971 and looked like new. The AD said, that the 1675 were only available with red/blue or black bezel insert. No "Coke" bezel at this time.

This is one of my vintage Timepieces I owe - just came back from Omega in exceptional condition - mineral crystal was changed, crown & pushers were fitted and waterproofed.

  4. Mates, please let me ask you a question:

    I have the 7032 MC from Yuki, and ordered a riveted 20mm oyster bracelet. I know, that this one is not accurate. As I tried to mount it, I just saw that it doesn
