16710 Pepsi or BLNR ?

[jsonorous]

Hello!

Long time lurker, posting for help and ideas...

I have a modest Rolex collection of a Ceramic Daytona (black face 116500), Milgauss 116640 GV, 11610 Submariner and 15210 Date (wife has stolen it, fits her well : ).

Looking to add another, and I've been focusing on a 16710 Pepsi GMT or a more modern 116710BLNR.

While I enjoy both watches for different reasons, I am leaning toward the 16710 Pepsi. I like the slender lugs of the 16710 vs the chunkier BLNR lugs. But, I love the blue and black of the BLNR.

I am 5' 10", 155lbs, and I have a 6.5" wrist. The newer thicker lugs of Rolex Sport watches seem just a bit heavy on me. Rolex 36mm watches work (love and had a 114270 Explorer), as do the 40mm watches (with slender lugs, but haven't had a 40mm new Rolex with thicker lugs, other than the Milgauss which seems to be in between).

If anyone else has gone through the thick vs thin lug debate I'd be grateful for the help. Thanks!
