Icon14 Show me your 16710 GMT!
OK so I'm seriously considering and intrigued by the 16710 GMT - preferably with the pepsi bezel. Anybody who has one on a strap or bracelet post them up to see your beauties and help me make up my mind!

Any recommendations on what to look for in one (besides bracelet flex/stretch)? I want a relatively 'modern' one.

Does it matter which one I actually find (pepsi, coke, etc) and what 'bezel' it comes with - as I can easily swap them out, correct?

ALSO I would be interested in changing out the bezel and strap(s)- should I be looking for the one with the lug holes?

If anybody had one and got RID of it - why did you sell it / dislike about it?

Thanks for all the advice and pictures!

I love 16710... Pepsi or Coke, they are both beautiful. Lug holes are nice but the "no lug holes" looks more modern IMHO.

I would never get rid of it.

Great shot!

Is it that much more difficult to remove strap / change out the bezel with no lug holes?

What does everyone prefer - lug holes or no lug holes? I'm leaning towards lug holes for easier strap / bezel changes and a more 'vintage' rolex look. But I like the no holes as well!

Lug holes have no bearing at all on changing the bezel insert. Here's mine....

If you need lugholes to switch straps, then bezel insert swaps are officially out of your depth.
