I wish I had the answer, but I don't. I guess it would be dependent on the 1.2mm vs the 1mm ends and also the reduction in length extending into the lug.

BTW......Don't settle. If you want a 16710 with drilled-through lugs, get one. My advice would be to look for something around a K-serial. Drilled through lugs and SELs....best of both worlds. Also, don't fret about it having the Coke, Pepsi, or Black insert.....buy whatever watch is in the best condition that you can afford regardless of bezel insert color. The insert is easy enough to replace and you will likely want to end-up with at least a coke and a Pepsi insert anyways.

I have a P serial (I think) Coke bezel 16710 from the year 2000, and it's got lug holes, solid end links, and Superluminova- so perfect.

But where can I buy extra genuine Rolex bezel inserts that didn't come with the watch?
