Thirsty? Incoming Coke

I usually don’t post incomings, but since I purchased this Coke from a fellow TRF’er, I wanted to share my find.

Picked up this unpolished T serial 16710 Coke with original tritium dial and hands from Chris and ErikSzper at Radcliffe Jewelers. Great experience, thank you guys!

It’s my first 5 digit reference, and now I really understand why the pre ceramics are so beloved.

Love the neo-vintage look and feel of the hollow end links and holes case, and the warm patina is just lovely.

Here’s a pic with the least amount of glare I could manage.

Fantastic, congrats! I just got one myself, currently wearing Pepsi insert + jubilee but will do coke + oyster in a couple months. Will be like a whole new watch

Very nice, congrats!

I have a T serial 16710 as well. I agree with the charm of its originality but I have been going back and forth with the idea of servicing it to restore the lume. I've been curious to hear what others have done in this situation.

The Coke reminds me of the BLNR, two colors including the dial. IMHO the Pepsi has a little too much going on with three colors.

Congrats, that looks like a really clean example. I’ve had my eye on a few coke’s too these past few weeks. Can’t be bothered swapping bezels on the pepsi.

Thank you brothers!! The pic came out horribly through TapaTalk for some reason. It's in perfect shape and I'm really enjoying it. Thank you again!

As a side note, I bought one of my very first watches from Erik about 10 years ago. Nice guy, I’d buy from him again.
