I am looking to buy my second Rolex. My first a Sub has been a great watch and I am hooked. But for my second I want to go old. I love both the Coke and the Pepsi and one of them will be my next Rolex. I would appreciate any comments as to what is the better value. But would also welcome comments on what to look out for as a buyer of a used watch. Thanks.

Get both! They are cheap inserts. Or better yet, get the black one as well. Add a jubilee bracelet to that and you have the most versitile Rolex to date

Chad M · 26 April 2012, 04:00 AM

One MUST sing to you a little more and thats the one that you should buy, then add the other insert.

X2

Six for the price of one.

That's the beauty with the 16710 - you can have a different look all the time.

Good luck with the hunt!

Coke no Pepsi!

dddrees · 26 April 2012, 04:23 AM

Pepsi on Super Jubilee is only one of many looks.

Where's DanP when we need him?

roger0770 · 26 April 2012, 04:46 AM

by going old, do you mean vintage? from what i know, coke is only available on the modern rolex. i define modern rolex w/ sapphire crystal. never the less, go coke!

gargamel647 · 26 April 2012, 04:52 AM

You really don't have to choose. Like the others have said, just find one in the right condition for the right price and seek out additional inserts!

Good luck!

Chipmunk · 26 April 2012, 05:24 AM

Coke......."Have A Coke and A Smile"
Pepsi......."Gotta Have It"..

gmh1013 · 26 April 2012, 05:26 AM

but love it on GMT

simonmcc · 26 April 2012, 06:01 AM

Black and red for me, because that's it's original design colours. I think it's to do with the two best colours under cockpit lighting.

Hooper · 26 April 2012, 06:14 AM

Love the Coke

If you can have only one watch get the pepsi!

Yep, buy one, get the other two inserts, and you've got 3 watches. I got the Pepsi, but haven't picked up the other two inserts yet...

gmh1013 · 26 April 2012, 07:02 AM

Does anybody know if these are any good?
I hate to pay 200.00 + for a Coke bezel I may change out a few times a year

Sbuckaroo · 26 April 2012, 07:55 AM

The pepsi insert looks much nicer to me!

gwalker · 26 April 2012, 08:04 AM

I like them all. Pepsi is my fav. Get all 3. Easy to swap them out.

drockadam · 26 April 2012, 08:30 AM

Pepsi all the way!

rolio · 26 April 2012, 11:38 AM

Got all three inserts: the coke, pepsi, and the black. Had them for 5 yrs. Ya know, I still haven't tried the pepsi or black out yet. Thinking about the pepsi next month.

sgrossma · 26 April 2012, 11:53 AM

Definitely the pepsi! the red, blue, and black all look so nice together
