maxi dial really makes it feel smaller than the old.

The 5 digit is so nice it steals the scene there.

I actually prefer the 16710 when shown side by side like that.

Old is gold. The 16710 is irreplaceable..

I also never noticed how much better the bezel looks on the 16710 with the smaller / cleaner looking hour indicators.
I just looked at my BLNR's bezel and the white bold #s and dots do scream “look at me”. The Pepsi bezel just makes everything scream louder. Here's the BLRO comparison pic referenced in the OP plus my watch. Regarding the folks who noticed the red bezel on 17610 has a richer / deeper shade, I agree but some of that might be the photo and angle. I've tried on the BLRO multiple times and the red looks great in person. Rolex's ceramic bezels does show a slight clear coat (like on a tri-coat dark car) when looked at from some angles. It's really apparent on the black portion of GMT-C bezels. |

That picture also shows how poor the ceramic "red" looks, when it's literally alongside the red half of the 16710 insert. Imho

I still like the 16710 better, especially since you can fit both an oyster and jubilee bracelet to it

I love the new coronet now at the 6 hour marker between Swiss and Made... new model, for me, especially with the more solid bracelet

I really laughed silly at this.
“I am a bit fan of the new Pepsi but feel a bit sorry for those who bought the white gold version” Heavy, valuable PM on wrist and feel sorry? I guess his logic is the same look for less which I can understand but to feel sorry I find quite ignorant. |

BLNR is my favorite. But I know i will be a minority, the ceramic Pepsi is the better of the two Pepsi’s imho
