Thanks gx. So, it is impossible not to let it change color right? Just a matter of time. I really like the coke but want it to remain red. Saw some used pieces in Japan all turning a little purple. :(

depends how you fade it or let it fade naturally.

stainless steel yes will but takes decades to get this kind color.

Nice LKK :s13: Will the older GMT red all turn this purple color ah?:s11:

Unfortunately no bro...
This "fuschia" colour is due to the aging of the dye used in the 1960s...

The later dyes (1970s-early 80s) do not usually age to this colour.. but can be also attractive when aged to copper/pink/sky blue/cherry...

That's why i love my LKKs over the bling bling new new standard rolexes you see everywhere..
