Funding dd40 wg almost complete advice?

Hello all,
I am almost complete with funds for a wg dd40.
I must part with either a 116600 sd40 or 16710 pepsi.
I would not like to part with either but one must go.
Somedays i feel i can trade the sd40 sometimes pepsi
Thoughts?
I like the splash of colors of the pepsi
And like the fact that the sd40 is the last true to the original seadweller.
Decisions decisions

You'll regret selling either, but if one has to go, let it be the one that gets the least wrist time.

I don't have any advice for you since I'm not one to sell of any of my pieces to fund another. However, if you're going to sell the 16710, I'll gladly take a trip to the motherland and take it off your hands..

Id sell the SD. It's such a personal preference but to me, it's not as special as the 16710

The DD40 isn't going anywhere. If you really love both watches, I'd just keep saving for a little while longer. Both are going to be difficult (and expensive) to replace if you decide you made a mistake.

DD40's are easy to pick up, and at a substantial discount.

The 16710 is a hot watch because it’s hard to get. I would advise turning off the forums for a while and then making a decision based on which one you like more and want to keep. Ultimately, you should be selling the one getting the least wrist time.

Do you want to keep a slightly larger, heavier, and thicker sports model, or do you prefer a slightly smaller, lighter, thinner model? I would choose based on what you and your wrist prefers, not which model is "hotter" or more collectible. Of those two I like the SD, I just think it's a little bolder and substantial of the two.

My vote is to lovingly dump the SD and get the DD. A DD is a crazy special for me, so I get the desire on this piece. Keep the 16710 for life!

And with the Dd and the 16710 you have every imaginable dress or casual ocasion covered until the end of time.

I agree with the advice given. You have 2 special pieces.
Have you tried a trusted seller? You may be closer than you think.

If you really really have to, sell the Pepsi. But you're asking a proud and happy SD4K owner.
