Icon10 Latest Addition - A Bit Of Red & Blue!

This one took me by surprise to be honest, I wasn't expecting to find this latest addition quite so soon but as soon as I was offered it I had to pull the trigger! Until now i've always stuck to the AD route and modern watches so this really was a step into the unknown for me but so far I haven't had any nasty surprises!

It is a beautiful 1981 16750 Pepsi. It is 9 years my senior so I'm thinking I should take a bit better care of it than I have myself, hopefully it'll have fewer broken parts than i've had

I think I am definitely going to invest in some polywatch as i'm sensing the acrylic crystal and my girlfriend are going to have some bad run-ins

Apologies for the poor pictures and the various lightings, my camera skills are rather lacking!

Great looking piece. I own its slightly younger cousin from 1982 (7,5xx,xxx). It is a real "keeper". Congrats and enjoy.
