Well thanks everyone for your great feedback about my potential trade.

I did the 200 mile round trip to see this watch and It didn't disappoint.

Full set and absolutely pristine.

Happy days!!!

Exactly!! I won't be.

Nice!

Congratulations! And as above, don't sell that classic beauty. It took me ages to find a pristine one after letting mine go a few years ago.

[SteveR]

Hubba hubba. Congratulations, it's a cracker!

[eoghan101]

Wow. That is absolutely stunning. Such amazing condition. And the full set. Congratulations. Wear it in good health.

Thanks so much guys.

It wasn't an easy option as I had to do a significant drive to even see it, but the dealers description was spot on and he facetimed me to show me condition.

I've already had 2 PMs asking if I want to sell it and I've just picked it up lol.

Delighted!

[peterv]

Lovely watch and glad you enjoyed the whole experience.An absolute classic.

[toptime]

Wow you lucky guy!! Enjoy

[Ozzie]

Nice buy.

Same year and model as mine, proper job. Are you going to swap the bezels?

Is yours an A serial? Does yours have SEL?

Mine is an A7***** serial and it doesn't have SEL, but A8**** ones I've seen do have SEL, so I'm thinking I've got the last non sel.

As for swapping bezels, I'm thinking the black won't see the light of day. However I may swap to Coke at some stage. The Pepsi is just so great.

Let's see some photos of yours.

Stunning, and looks like a full set!

Did you buy it as a Pepsi version? If so, how can you tell it's a Pepsi and not originally a black or coke bezel?

I believe the letter after the serial number tells you. If it has an A it's a Coke, B it's a Pepsi and N it's black. However mine only has serial number.

I believe it may originally have been a Coke, but I'm not sure.

[PatrickJ]

Absolutely stunning! Will be hunting one of these down myself in the next year... hoping prices won't get crazier!!!

Great watch looks fantastic
I did really like theses and wanted one but with not having the experience with vintage pieces I ended up buying the blnr

[IdiotAbroad]

Very, very nice! Congratulations!

I just can't see myself taking it off now and my BLNR is on the winder.
Why I have over looked this watch for all these years is beyond me (prices now so high too!)

Hang tag tells you the answer:

Null = Coke
BLRO = Pepsi
LN = Black

What a beauty 😎 congrats on your new watch -love it

[oldoakknives]

Nice one, would love one of those, lucky man.

[dommorton]

Looks absolutely mint!

Presume it's been refinished to this standard?

[P4u1]

That is a thing of beauty - what year is it from?

[Nairn1980]

Thanks guys, I believe it's had a light polish/refinish and it's a 2000 year.
I don't see any evidence of over-polishing (not that I'm an expert by any means)

[Pitch3110]

Fantastic buy a keeper I am sure.

Love these and all associated from Magnum to Pan am and Che's love throughout his dust ups and more recent Red Reddington

[RAJEN]

Congratulations. It is lovely.

[Qwerty]

Congrats, a great choice!

[Highroller]

Just love this watch

[Nairn1980]

[Heuerfan]

[OliverD]

[helidoc]

That is a beautiful watch. I'm envious, but very well done indeed

Yes mine has SEL. Owned from new by me with everything including the AD's carrier bag. It had a service last year then back in the safe. I recently bought a '08 Explorer 2 which is my 'wearer' as it's not a full set. I'll get the GMT out and do pics soon.
I also have a black spare bezel and I'm tempted to swap it out if I can figure how to do it

[Loupe]

That's looks superb with an added bonus of the other inserts too. Congrats

Seems Photobucket's anti hot linking police have caught up with you OP.
