The red GMT hand pops better than the green on the LN or the blue on the BLNR.

The Pepsi 16710 is the watch that started my love for this hobby. So it’s an easy pick for me

6 digit, the clasp alone makes it worth it.

Funny....growing up, I always thought the Oyster link pattern stamped on the clasp of the Sub and the GMT was so cool. To me, that clasp was a big part of the DNA of the watches I grew up aspiring to own one day. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

This thread is asking a no-brainer, imho.....16710 all day long.

I was in the same exact boat. Like, exact. Love them both equally.

I went with the 116710LN first because I feel the premium for a comparable Pepsi 16710 is unwarranted at the moment. I even considered a 16710LN... same thing.

I’ll eventually get one, but right now to me, they are at a point where they don’t make sense.

I think they’re putting in a hard floor at $10k.

Im with you on this. The pattern stamped on the relatively smaller clasp added to the character of the watch.

16710 over anything else for me.
