TT for looks. TT for other technical reasons.

Yeah I was thinking about that. I have a lot of scratches on my sub from the zippers on my briefcase.
That's a nice shot by the way.

Prices are getting crazy high recently. Let's see what happens after this year's Basel. Cheers.

The Pepsi looks so much better than the TT.

Im a fan of the TT gmt but the best price to buy a Pepsi would be now as prices will continue to increase.

I had both, the GMT TT is dressier & looks nice with a suit but the Pepsi is a classic & more versatile.

Tough decision, also considering the spike in pricing for the 5 digit 16710/16700 as of recently. TT looks sharp on you, 16710 is a timeless classic and reminiscent of commercial airlines golden era.. (PanAM-Rolex partnership from decades ago). I'd say 16710 but I know the pricing would most likely tip the scale in favor of the 116713 in the end, for me..

Big TT fan but I’d vote Pepsi on this one. The older it gets the more coveted.

I'm not normally a TT guy but I think it works better for you, especially since you already have the sub

I think the TT looks good on you man. Its a much more substantial watch for that added luxury if that is what you are after.

GMTc TT, or 16710 Pepsi?

I’m not a fan of the new(ish) maxi-case. 16710 BLRO is the one for me!

I love the Pepsi but afraid it might not look good on me. What do you guys think? Thanks for everyone's help in advance.
The 16710 admittedly looks beautiful but if you don't know the ownership history, you're going to have to set aside ~$1000 for an eventual servicing. Which is in addition to the current inflated prices for this piece. Get a new watch, and create your own unique history and memories. The 116713 is an extremely handsome and satisfying watch. I think you'll be very happy with it.

The TT looks better on you, IMO. It also seems like you think the same, but you want to like the Pepsi more. You'll be happier with the TT I think.

Post more wrist shots when you get it! It's a great looking watch.

I own both and tend to wear the TT more. Maybe trying to preserve a recent RSC on my Pepsi. GMT TT is much more comfortable on the wrist, as well.
Like a Mercedes, the new ones are better engineering but the old models can be classics.

16710 BLRO is a classic, and gets my vote! 6 in 1 club.
