I’d keep the 5 digit. If you sold and got the admittedly lovely Pepsi you’d have 4 ceramic watches that look very similar.

I prefer the 5 anyway.

I’m on a list for a new Pepsi and if i got the call, may have to sell my beautiful, full set 16710.

It’s a year 2000, full set, non SEL but Swiss Made Dial. A serial number. It comes with Pepsi, Coke and Black inserts.

This is NOT a sale thread at all, I just wondered what you all thought between both watches.

Old Pepsi, and it’s not even close. I would take a hard pass on the pastel colors and added bling factor.

I sometimes feel 90% of the people here shouldn't even be buying their first Rolex. If you don't have 8K disposable income wtf are you doing with a 7K watch on your wrist already.

i like how the new Pepsi's red insert is nearly the same shade of maroon on the 16710's coke insert.
so basically the use of ceramic caused rolex to kinda combine soda flavors :)

when the 6 digit white gold pepsi was introduced , hodinkee mentioned rolex did this as a homage to the 1950s bakelite bezel. ha.

Don´t buy a new one at the expense of the old one !!!!!

Kpiyaratt · 13 April 2019, 02:24 AM

I’d keep both.

Keep the 16710

Interesting thanks everyone (and for the thread revival)

OP — what did you decide? It may be the honeymoon period with my 114060, but I find myself thinking the same — parting with my A-Serial 16710 BLRO that I’ve had for 15 years to make room for a 126710.

inadeje · 9 June 2019, 09:49 AM

I’d be fitting a coke bezel to that 16710 and keeping it in rotation.

Nikrnic · 9 June 2019, 10:05 AM

The 5 digits are lovely but he 6 digits are in a whole different league. I can't go back.

I have 2 of 3, haven’t been able to find an AD to sell me a Coke yet.

But do also agree with the poster above — once I started wearing my 6-digit Sub, it is hard to go back.

I have no trouble switching between 6 and 5 digit. They are very different, but oh so lovable, in their own way.

on my 16710 rotation. Just switched pepsi on jubilee for coke on oyster. Haven't seen this one since february. So, it's like a new watch

I would like to add the new pepsi, but never at the cost of giving up the 16710.

huba01 · 9 June 2019, 05:32 PM

My 16710 get the most wrist time. I would find a way to finance the new BRLO for sure

Reinhard in SA · 9 June 2019, 08:22 PM

Keep the 5 digit. No way I would sell that, even for a BLRO.

munichblue · 9 June 2019, 09:02 PM

THIS!

I love the PepC, but the brushed bracelet and tool factor look of a 16710, coupled with nicer case dimensions (IMO), and different looks with different inserts, there is way too much win with the 16710 for me.

Don’t even think about selling the 16710. Never!

Still got it, and mine is an A serial too. Absolutely love it

Keep the old and buy the new!

both awesome! How about some pics!?

koshiru · 21 June 2019, 12:38 PM

Do not sell your old Pepsi! I just tried on the new Pepsi....feels weird. I had always wanted to get it and was on waitlist until I manage to try the real thing at a grey dealer and almost instantaneously I decided the new Pepsi is not worth its price tag (grey dealer pricing now)

Looking past the movement upgrade and jubilee only option what you have is another GMTIIC. An over hyped one at that. People are recommending the one that hasn't been made for ten years and were made in their millions. Says a lot for the new one.

I would keep the 5 digit....better all around designed watch.

The 6 digit bezel is the biggest problem....it is too cramped regarding the font, the color variations don’t look right...the ceramic color is shiny with no depth and tacky compared to the luminosity and depth of the aluminum bezel. You can see this right away when compared side by side.

On the other hand if you just want a new Pepsi with improved technicals, and the throwback look of the 5 digit Pepsi then go for the new.
