Thanks everyone.

I was on the hunt for a nice Pepsi 1675 when this 16710 turned up at my local jewelers. They are not a Rolex AD, but have a great watchmaker on staff who serviced and polished this one. It was a one owner, local piece traded in after 15 years. It has the box and all papers and was fairly priced, so i went for it.

The Coke bezel is my current favorite, but as note they can be swapped if I want some variety in the future.

great choice...

Excellent timepiece with the correct bracelet. You have lots of bezel and bracelet swap options, making this the most versatile Rolex out there...

Wear this one everyday... and enjoy !

You've been a member here for a year with over 200 posts and just got your first Rolex. That is so cool. That's almost identical to my journey. Waited till my 40th birthday to pull the trigger and had been on here for quite some time. Nothing wrong with delayed gratification. That is such a beautiful watch. Very Very big CONGRATS. Absolutely love it. Wear it in the best of health.
Cheers
