Stuck inside bored poll. I had both but let one go...Which?

[WS9D]

Well, this is day, crap I lost count, of sheltering in place. Thought I would create a poll for everyone else who is stuck and home. This is purely for entertainment purposes. I had both a 16710 with all three inserts (pepsi my fav) and a 116710BLNR. I ultimately sold one. Which do you think stayed and why? Feel free to comment with your reasoning No cheating now, don't go back and look at my previous posts. Also, my avatar means nothing. I love the flag more than the watch.

Have fun and be safe! Looking forward to reading the comments. Everyone, I ask you please be respectful of others but also don't be too darn sensitive if you have one or the other and dont like what someone else says. We are all stuck INSIDE together lol

The 16710 for the utility.

Im on day 22 working remote this year and although I've been a pro social distancer for years this is a bit extreme.

I'd say 16710 stayed given your avatar, otherwise you're constantly reminding yourself of a mistake.

[emtee]

Guess you kept the 16710 but personally I would have kept the BLNR as I’m just not a fan of vintage watches vs newer ones

[watchmework]

My guess is the 16710 since it's your avatar photo Steve

[superstarmar]

The 16710 because it’s more versatile even
more than the BLNR . Plus if you got the BLNR
pre hyper inflated $$$ and FOMO you made a
nice little bonus ...

I voted for 16710, then saw your post and avatar.. Did I get it right?

[-Ally-]

I’d have kept the 16710.

[Gerardus]

Voted the 16710, but my keeper would be the BLNR

[j-watch]

I voted 16710. I had the BLNR, and moved it out for the BLRO. Love the color combo better. Both are nice, and you can't really a bad decision going either way.

your avatar

my Avatar pic has been up since 2015 and means nothing ;)

If you love a flag more than your Pepsi, then that’s the one that went, obviously.

Batman

I'll give you guys a hint. The one that stayed has blue on it...

LOL

"Too much time on my hands" even more true stuck inside

What's that one song? isn't it ny Styx?

You kept the 16710 because it’s rarer and cooler, particularly as time passes. And your wife gave it to you as a gift.

I voted the opposite of my initial reaction so I say you kept the BLNR.

[Gingerbule]

I am guessing you sold the Batman just because you mentioned that "pepsi is your fav"

I am not a fan of Pepsi not sure why but I love the Batman so hoping you kept that far better looking watch imo. I currentlt have the Batman and Batgirl, I will sell one of them soon as I need to free up funds for the Yachmaster 42 I can not decide what one.

[Nikrnic]

I have those two as well. I'd keep my 16710, its too hard to replace.

I'm voting that you got rid of the BLNR. Because the 16710 is more versatile and there is a better modern SS GMT than the BLNR, but if you want a 5 digit, 16710 with all bezel options is as good as it gets.

Does it always have a bit of blue on it, or just sometimes?

[spoon-turbo]

For some reason, when I suit up, the 5-digit gmt works like a charm. But for street/casual attire, the 6-digit shines more.

I would have kept the 16710. One of my favorite references!

Well I know everyone is dying to know the answer.....I did try to have some fun and throw some curve balls best I could.

It was a hard decision, but ultimately I kept the 16710. I love the brushed bracelet, smaller lugs, and the ability to swap out the bezels. The BLNR is a beautiful watch, and maybe one day i'll add one back, but the past year i've been focusing on consolidating the collection as I only have one wrist and I started to feel like I didnt have my priorities straight and wanted to start pumping up my kiddo's 529.

I hope everyone is staying well and safe during these covid times.

Can't argue with that decision Steve...but you do have two wrists.

The money will do more for you in the 529 anyways.
