Incoming! Pepsi + beer = happiness

Tired of waiting for infinity on a BLRO, I finally pulled the trigger on a 16710. The dial is gorgeous! Lume is just starting to transition and looks great with the matte black dial. Need to get it pressure tested and get a half link added, but pretty happy with it. hows it look?? Cheers!

It looks AWESOME!

Love this series and yours looks to be an excellent example. There's been a fair amount of discussion on new and old Pepsi's and I think the 16710 brings a lot to the table and offers a unique value-prob that makes it a great alternative or addition to the latest version.

Again, hats off and as they say, "wear it well".

Congrats. I love mine. Wear it almost every day. Seems like the Pepsi 16710s are very scarce right now on the secondary market.

I worked my way thru college on a construction crew. 2 of the guys were from Southern Indiana. They would order a Pepsi and a Beer every round. So I guess they do go together

Well done, great choice! Get yourself a Coke bezel insert and enjoy different “flavors” when the mood strikes you...

The five digit GMT is the one to beat imo. Very nice.

Better than a BLRO which is too jewellery like
It's a fine watch you have there

It came with the original Coke Bezel - haven’t changed it out yet though. Yours looks great!

Just ordered a new Pepsi as well to have a banger and a pristine option. Also ordered a jubilee bracelet and a blue RubberB strap - will be a 9 in 1 watch in a couple weeks :)

1 watch, 9 different options - now that's versatility!

I have a 16710 and didn’t know adding a half link was an option. Did you end up getting one OP?
