I own both and if forced to keep one, it would be the BLNR for me. Gets much more wrist time than the 16710 though I am glad I have both

I would say keep the BLNR it's such a special watch.

BUT, if you are interested in the 16710 I am selling mine!

They are different and each has its own beauty but if you want only one then The 16710 is a three in one watch and I would go with that!

The 16710 is a great, classic watch... but it is a $3K watch, tech wise, and the rest of the value is all charm... the 116710 is a more substantial watch. I traded my 16710 towards a 126710BLRO.

I am happy owning both. Would have a hard time giving up the BLNR. So much more substantial for me.

Thanks!

If you can sell the batman on your own for full market, then why not, but don't ever trade with a dealer, you will get phisted. I don't get the batman, always preferred the black black black. And the pre ceramic pepsi is so much better then the new pink and purple one.
