Pepsi 16710 and life is now complete

Forgive the hyperbole but man this watch is perfect and has amazing feel on the wrist. Iconic for good reason; as prices keep climbing, so glad to have acquired one to call my own

Pic 1: at the job site in southern Manitoba. Cold as sh!t !!

Pic 2: Love the 14060 but... yeah, the GMT II is

There is a reason their price is skyrocketing in the used market... One of the best watches Rolex has ever made, period. Will last you a lifetime and always be in style.

Congrats. Definately a great piece. Love my 1675 and 14606M. Does it ever get above 0°C in MB. Man there is enough cold and snow there these past few weeks that would drive most insane.

Haha I don't know man but it was -30C today. In MB this week for work and flying back home tomorrow to Alberta, where the weather isn't much nicer.

Another opportunity to use the quick-set hour hand!

Great watch! Congrats. I'm about to grab a Pepsi bezel insert for my Coke. The 16710 is a true classic.

Thanks!

Both are A6 serials from '99.. yet interesting to note the different dials: the 3-tick variation of the 14060 vs. the 1-tick variation of the 16710
