For my 500th post - a new watch
This just kind of fell at the right time to line up with my 500th post here.
Based on availability of the new Pepsi GMT, I kind of gave up on that. So, I went slightly vintage and bought a 16710. It's a black dial, but I have already ordered a blue/red insert. I think the watch needs a service, but so far I am happy with it. The bracelet is a little tight, so I also think I need another link, but otherwise, I think this will be a great addition to my collection. |

Just switched it out to a leather strap. May not be the best choice of a strap for it, but it works for me for now. I have a gray/black NATO I might try later, but this makes it much more comfortable to wear.
I think this is likely to be a very versatile watch - especially when I get the blue/red bezel on it. Anyone got any suggestions for a great strap for it? Or do I keep it on the braclet and just get the extra link? PDG |

Nice watch - our local Rolex dealer prefers this strap. It looked good on the watch in his showroom: https://rubberb.com/en/rolex-watch-b...ected-color=16

Congrats! What a great way to commemorate your post count milestone. It looks great. You can pick up a link on the Bay. Can’t wait to see you transform it, into an old school Pepsi! Kat Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Congratulations! That should be the number one contender for the Perfect Watch in one of the other threads here.

Thanks! I wore it around for a bit this morning, but it just didn't feel right. Putting it on this strap has worked wonders for the comfort level. The thing that is sticking with me is when I look down at it I find it looks far to similar to my 16610 Submariner. I forget that this is a GMT and don't see the GMT hand unless I hold it at the right angle. The bezel change is going to be very transoformative. PDG |

Love it! I’ve decided I prefer this version over the soda versions.

Honestly, I am just about reaching the point where I am going to be set with Rolexes. In the last few years I have managed to buy just about everything I wanted. I guess there are always more references to acquire though. I wouldn't mind a vintage Day-Date. Some of those aren't terribly outrageous, especially finding one on a strap - maybe an 1803 (unless someone wants to donate one to me). Either way, that's likely to be a while before I pull the trigger on that one. PDG |
