I’d add vintage 1675 or 16750. That would round out the collection well.

If a SS Coke or Pepsi comes out at Basel, I'm selling my BLNR for it.

Epilogue. Great inputs. Thank you to everyone who weighed in - I really appreciate it.

Keeping the Pepsi. It has been with me day in and day out for 15 years. Across six continents. Lots of countries. Too many time zones to count. In temperatures from -20 degrees to 135 degrees Fahrenheit. From Fortune 500 boardrooms to swimming with whale sharks. Good times and bad - far more good than bad.

I’m super picky about watches - even with the high end brands, I like maybe 1 of every 5 models and love far fewer than that. My GMT has made me smile every day since 2003. I love it.

Once I pick up my SD43 next month, I’ll have the perfect 3-watch collection for me. I’ve done some divesting to get down to just 3 and am excited about where I’m landing. Thanks again to those who posted.

Well thought out and decision made. Enjoy those 3 beauties Roger!
I am sure all of them will get much use.

I, much like you, have worked hard to pair down to 3. Did some selling off myself this winter. Very happy where I landed as well. And 1 of them still in my collection is an A-serial 16710 Pepsi.....just like yours.

Cheers

No. You bought it new and can never buy another new. Keep the Pepsi. Add a BLNR and don’t worry so much about the number of pieces.
