C65 Pepsi GMT #447

Post by MiniMpi »

Well I'm Truly Ecstatic :)

May or not be correct to term it as a grail but I've been lusting after a C65 Pepsi GMT since they came out.
Other watch distractions have got in the way over this time and finally I now have one if these gorgeous watches in my collection !

Huge Thanks to Laird, watch arrived in exactly the description described and I'm thrilled with it.
It's literally new and unworn with the 60/60 tag still attached and the case back sticker in place etc.

I will probably get a new bracelet for it in a few weeks time as I love that look.

Congratulations Ferg, looks superb and I’m sure you will enjoy it all the more after waiting all this time to get your hands on one :thumbup:

Thanks. No it is still a current model available on the CW website.

The timing has gone a bit astray on this one, about minus 28 seconds per 24 hours so it's going back to CW shortly to be sorted under warranty.
I'll miss it whilst it's gone as I adore the watch.

That was my first thought Guy as well but yes I've demagnetized it quite a few times to no avail.
Obviously it could still be magnetized and my demagnetizer is faulty, not beyond the bounds of possibility.
But at least it will get checked out properly now.

Fabulous pickup Ferg, it amazes me that all sizes of watches look exactly the right size on your wrist (from your pics) 👍

I received my C65 Pepsi GMT back from CW last week after it was regulated under warranty as it was running -27 seconds per 24 hours.
I wound it about 40 winds and set the time and put it in my watch box.
I checked it exactly 24 hours later and it was running an excellent +2 seconds !
Also checked it's power reserve and it well surpassed the official 42 hours, in fact it managed 47 hours !
So Well Done to CW CS :clap:

Delighted to have it back and I'm looking forward to wearing it soon.
