New for me.

Much prefer the newer bezel (except for the colors on that particular Pepsi--too purple/pink), newer bracelet (really dislike hollow end pieces and links), and new clasp. The old bracelets/clasps, even if functional, felt cheap.

Precisely what I was thinking.

However, I will keep my 16710 when I pick up my ordered 126710.

These are both awesome references but for wearability and enjoyment it has to be the modern version. I know I'd pick it first if both of these were currently on the production line.

Those are both “Cranberries”. I would take a 16710 with the real “Pepsi” colours that pop. I don’t even know why they refer to the new one as a Pepsi as the Red isn’t even close. Doesn’t mean it isn’t a nice watch, but to me is no Pepsi.
