Hello everyone,
In my rolex collection I've a 16710 pepsi and I'm facing two options:

- selling the 16710 for buying a 1675 from the 70ies, maybe with a fuchsia bazel if I found it (could cost around 18k)

- keep the 16710 and buy a 1675 rootbeer nippledial from the 70ies as well (could cost around 9k)

What do you suggest me? I'd like the 16710 for his versatility (in the water as weel) but I also have a 16570 grain of mais that does the job

Thank you!

Only you know which you prefer. I'm not a rootbeer guy, so Pepsi for me.
Keep the 16710.

I'd do the Pepsi all day, but only because 1) I like the way they look and; 2) I think they'll continue to be more valuable than the rootbeer. These are the two criteria I use as I grow my meager collection.

Rootbeer for sure. Favorite Rolex GMT of all time. Sad to have had to let mine go.

Pepsi looks real pleasure for me. I like it to drink.

Root beer by far. Nipples ftw! Best GMT ever

Pepsi's are cool and in demand, but the Root beer's are more unique. Root beer is two tone as well if that matters to you. I'd rather wear something not as many people have. Do you like the looks of one watch more than the other??

I will take option 1 - sell your 16710 and top up for a 1675. 4 digit models are increasingly hard to find as people are no longer selling theirs as much. A SS model appeals to me more then 2 tone. But in the end, your personal preference is most important.

Thank you to everyone! I'll try on the wrist the two watches in the near future before come to a conclusion.

I'd say keep the 16710.

Hold on to the 16710.
Find a nice Rootbeer 1675.
You'll have two classic keepers.
