Incoming...well actually it is already HERE! :)
Been eyeing a five digit Rolex for over a year - going back and forth between a Sub and a GMT. Then kept trying to figure out which generation GMT to get and ended up with this MINT full set no hole PEPSI last Friday!!
I have never seen or tried one on in person before, but definitely now understand why this watch gets so much love around these boards --- and the subsequent rise in price that occurred as well. Not much that I can add that hasn't been said before -- but proportions, color pop on bezel and overall 'feel' of the watch is spot on and better then pictures can convey. Hopefully its a keeper for a long long time!!

Congrats...my firm favorite...you will really love this one and if you source for few more inserts plus a jubilee, it will transform into another whole different watch altogether.
Enjoy...

Lovely looking 16710 Pepsi, the 5 digit references are tough to beat in almost all the models. Slight vintage look with some modern features and without the massive vintage price tag.

Congratulations on a great looking 5-digit Pepsi! Love the look of this watch very much and truly a classic. Very nice shape too with no bezel fade, a great find indeed! Wear it in good health. Cheers!
