I'd have done the same. Really, really don't like Bell & Ross. Reverso is cool if you use it consistently which you haven't. You obviously prefer a sportier look. I don't like the dj2. Too big for the type of watch it is, unless you have massive wrists to bring it back into proportion.

The 16710 Pepsi is arguably the best GMT reference Rolex has ever made. One of my favs as well.

Beautiful GMT...congrats!

SkyJuice · 17 February 2019, 12:55 PM

The one watch to rule them all! Well done.

Chaching · 17 February 2019, 01:01 PM

Great decision! I bought mine back in 1997 for $3,540 with tax new! Will never sell and one of my all time favorites in my collection!

Bladeshot · 17 February 2019, 01:07 PM

Welcome to the club!!! Congrats. The 16710 is an amazing, classic tool watch. Mine will never leave the collection.

awol123 · 17 February 2019, 01:40 PM

Nice move

srleadjb · 17 February 2019, 01:42 PM

Also in the consolation process. Great piece!

ilovethiscity · 17 February 2019, 02:35 PM

I agree too, good move Sir!

SemperFi · 17 February 2019, 02:48 PM

Excellent trade off. Congratulations!

rpl77 · 19 February 2019, 11:49 PM

Thanks everyone! It still hasn't left my wrist

Would love to get a Calatrava one day! I tried one on in NOLA a couple years back and it was amazing. Is it your daily, or only for special occasions?

Last year, I traded 3 JLCs for a Patek Calatrava. No regrets.

The LV is certainly on my radar, too. WHat did you trade for it?

rpl77 · 19 February 2019, 11:53 PM

Wow, can't believe how much of the price delta is now. My 16710 is a keeper for life too

I only wear the Calatrava for special occasions. I wear Seikos and Rolexes daily. The Calatrava is special. When you look at it on your wrist, you say “Whoa.”

After getting the green light from my wife, I traded my JLC, DJ2, and Bell&Ross (plus some cash) for the 16710, and I couldn't be happier!

I beg the difference. Your 3 became 6 or more.
I don’t have a picture of the all black bezel insert but you get the idea.

Congrats on the moves, great piece! Additionally, that piece looks great as a Coke/Pepsi/black, jubilee or oyster. One piece with a lot of options.

I couldn’t agree more. Been searching for a jubilee vs super jubilee and the other two inserts. And, I just picked up a bergeon 7825
