Service the Coke and save up for a new GMT if your heart so desires.

That depends on the deal you get.If you really want the Ceramic(which,I highly recommend), I'd sell the Coke privately,and buy a slightly used Ceramic.
I'd say it's a win/win, you don't get ripped off by a dealer on your Coke trade in value, and you get a practically good as new Ceramic......run you calculator and be patient. That's my logic.
Good luck

How about: Save for a GMTc and once you have it for a couple of month, decide if you still want to divest the Coke. Still needs a service it seems, that was a good run. Personally,i would hold on to it, you have a classic and a ceramic diver, why not the same lineup for the traveller? And go LN while your at it.

Absolutely the best move! Well done! I'm sure all us crazies didn't help influence that decision.

I recently traded "down" from a 116710LN to a 16710. No question the 16710 is much more pleasing on so many levels.

Great decision. They're such different watches I think there's a place for both in a collection

I have a BLNR and a Coke.
Coke gets more wrist time for sure.
Do you own any other 5 digit references? That would be a deciding factor for me.
