I wouldn't get rid of my 16710 Pepsi for anything. They are becoming so hard to find in great condition and prices are slowly rising up up and away.
Having said that I do adore the BLNR and if it weren't for the fact that I have SubC and the Pepsi, it could be my one and only for sure.

ragingcao · 25 August 2016, 12:21 AM

I would hold on to that Pepsi

porschedude · 25 August 2016, 12:25 AM

I would keep the pepsi and save for the blnr definitely

fishingbear · 25 August 2016, 02:56 AM

Keep the 16710 and save up for the BLNR.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..................... ......................................!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I prefer 16710

Loevhagen · 25 August 2016, 03:41 AM

Not so sure I would pass on an alu insert...

Explorertwo · 25 August 2016, 03:59 AM

No! You have a classic. Enjoy it

P.S. They don't make classics any more

seik · 25 August 2016, 08:21 AM

just save up and get both of them.. you will thank me later

ddaly12 · 25 August 2016, 10:48 AM

Not an upgrade. Different watches.

douglasf13 · 25 August 2016, 10:57 AM

Maybe buy a new bezel insert color to quell the temptation of "upgrading" watches? I certainly don't think it would be an upgrade.

vkl · 25 August 2016, 11:21 AM

You'll eventually want to own both at the same time.

sdgadave · 25 August 2016, 11:27 AM

This is a great post, I am in almost the exact conundrum. I bought my 16710 new in December 1999 and it has been through everything with me. The good times and the bad. I have been thinking of selling it (original boxes, paperwork, hang tags, booklets, even have the receipt!) for a BLNR. It is hard to let it go. It's due for a service so I think if I send to the RSC and give it some love and it'll come back new. It was Coke originally but I like what some have said to change the insert and give it a new look. Thanks everyone and the OP!!

Thank you douglasf13, that was a touching article. Lately the allure of getting another watch has been great and I have forgot how much sentimental value it has. I'll flip the Date Just II for the next watch. I always considered myself a one watch guy and since buying the DJ I have not worn my GMT that much. Looks like I will have to make some wrist time again for it and remember the good times... Thank you!!

Love your photos, and love the look of the jubilee on the BLNR. What do you mean 3 x insert?

Thanks. When I refer to 3 x inserts: The 16710 have 3 different colour variations original to the 16710 model - so having all 3 (BLRO, NRRO and just black) adds valuable flexibility.

Oh, of course!

Is the jubilee on the BLNR a Rolex bracelet? Are they easy to come by?

Of course. The bracelet is a Rolex 62510H "50" originally used for both 16750 and 16710. Using 502T endlinks makes it fit the BLNR too.

AnnemarieGirl · 25 August 2016, 08:57 PM

No.

Walking Dead Thread back from the April grave. Love the Pepsi Classic comment however.

Xandershaw · 25 August 2016, 10:19 PM

Perhaps wait until Rolex brings out the ceramic Pepsi and then get in the queue :)

Chalet · 25 August 2016, 10:29 PM

Not sure about the thread title to be honest. I have both watches and I'd suggest the key word is 'change' not 'upgrade'.

pa30crewchief · 25 August 2016, 10:58 PM

16710 is a keeper. BLNR is very nice. I have both and wear BLNR for business travel and Coke for pleasure travel. I already flipped a 116710LN and am happy where I am at now.

Fellas, unless the OP pipes up and says otherwise, I'd assume that he's already made his decision four months later.
