What time is it? Watches and horology

Interesting. Apparently 18k gold is usually about 75% gold and 25% copper and silver and high end white gold alloys are 90% gold and 10% other metals.

White gold Pepsi GMT

The one on the right is white gold. I only say that because the other two have the old case shape and font on the bezel.

Every now and then I really want a Pepsi GMT, someone talk me out of it?

£23k.

chubby lugs :(

That's just the cut of my t-shirt

someone talk me out of it?

New one? They look quite flashy and brash irl which isn't your style.

Would be an old(er) one I think. But not for 23k

Older GMTs are over-priced at the moment IMHO, mainly due to artificial scarcity created by Rolex under producing new ones. Also not a good first vintage watch, lots of fakes, frankenwatches and interfered with pieces out there.

If you do buy one, make sure you get it from a reputable source and take someone with you who knows these references intimately.

Good advice

older GMTs are overpriced

True, but I don't think they will fall either

Until they do ;)

Look at the drop in value of brown furniture since the 90s... or road frames with horizontal dropouts since 2008.

Trends do change.

All that said I think one of the core / classic rolex is probably the safest bets you could make.

Just bought this in , 1997 T<25 tritium dial 14060 non date submariner.

this looks great..

Which one?

The reply was to the 86 with the magnifying glass attachment

Handy for starting fires.....

My brother has that exact Datejust and it looks great.

Very Nice DJ on jubilee - nice amount of 'use' and condition. Like it alot.

Cheers , gonna get off to Rolex for service before it goes in window.
Photo doesn’t do justice to the dial colour it really is lovely.

How much is the sub and how much paperwork do you have with it?

I've been thinking about selling mine, 16710 and with a spare red/black bezel insert (sorry not pepsi) - won't be £23k!
