Incoming!!!!!!!!

Currently at work but will be receiving my Pepsi 16710 today! Can’t wait to get home!

I made several threads about my dilemma between this and 126710BLRO, but I finally decided to pull the trigger. I was tired of waiting for the BLRO from my AD (which may never come) and actually contemplated going grey (but 20k?!). I’m happy with my decision. I will probably change it to a Sub glidelock at some point to add a little heft.

Photos to come tonight.......

Early Congrats! My 16710 is the favorite of my collection. I never thought I'd end up wearing it as a daily.

Big congrats, nice score. I really miss my Z-serial 16710 Coke, so I'm living vicariously through your journey, lol. Looking forward to the pics.

Congrats and post up pics when you receive it. Been wearing mine in rotation for almost 3 years now. So comfortable to wear next to a 16520 (which you barely can tell your wearing a watch when being worn).

Give it a chance before switching to glidlock. I have 5digits and 6, apples and oranges, and I go through phases where quite frankly I like the old stuff more...
