Pepsi.

But it’s close… I love my 16610LV, but the 16170 will always be the best Rolex watch in my book.

Have them both. Like them equally.
If I had to pick one I’d go with the Pepsi only because they are less common than subs.

I do not, Its my favorite gmt but I'm a sucker for any watch with green. Its a tough call for sure and boils down to personal preference.

I'll give you my answer based on the situation more than which one I would want-

If you are Buying:

At an AD, for MSRP - The Pepsi, all day, every day.
Grey Market pricing- The Sub. You'll overpay for a Pepsi and I'd take the Sub for the price.


Price doesn't matter (IE, you're independantly wealthy and don't care about the money) - PEPSI... but why stop there? Might as well get a Panda or Solid Gold model.

Both. On my wrist the 126710BLRO wears a bit nicer than the 116610LV but I couldn't part with either.

Seeing and both Pepsi and LV:
The pepsi jubilee is elegant and more comfortable but the blue and red is abit toyish like a shiny plastic. Prefer the Aluminum color in case of the Pepsi.
But in the LV case it is more elegant and subtle especially with the 126610LV since it has a mono color (green) bezel and simple black dial that makes it more versatile yet fun.

The BLRO on Jubilee hands down. I like the green but prefer my Submariner in black with no date.

I own both 116610LV and 16710 BLRO (Old generation of GMT).

They are both great, but the comfort and design of the case make me prefer the 16710, either on oyster or jubilee.

I struggle to choose.

I think once the PCLs on my oyster have been brushed, the Pepsi may get the most wrist time.

Do you plan on brushing PCLs? I feel like that's the one thing I miss from my sub.

Yes, I can’t stand them on the oyster, that’s why I bought the Jubilee for it also.

Tough one to choose, I love both equally the same. I wear BLRO more though due to the red in the bezel (I wear red polos at work M/W/F).
