This set on offer remains in fantastic neo-vintage condition with a mint dial and most notably a mint \"Pepsi\" insert that's taken a unique and wonderful \"raspberry\" color. The case is very strong with thick, evenly shaped lugs and sharp edges. The 787970\/501B bracelet shows a matching U date code and remains tight with a full set of 13 links.
