I think the 16710 should look fine on your wrist. It wears noticeably smaller than the modern iteration.

You could also consider a 36mm OP or the Explorer 36

Fantasic!

I was considering selling mine, as have the current six digit Pepsi, but your post changed my mind.

If you don't mind, how did you procure the jubilee? Is there a specific bracelet number I should ask/look for to get exact fit?

Also, I own both Pepsi and Coke original Rolex bezel inserts. The all black version is available from non-Rolex sources as substantial discount. What are your thoughts on this?

Have a great day, and beautiful watch. Cheers.

This! Have 7 inch rounded wrists, sometimes wish to have a flat wrist to rock bigger pieces

I once, very briefly, had a 16710 and found that it could not fit comfortably on my 6-inch wrist. I just couldn't get it to fit comfortably with the links and micro adjustments =-/

This is my 5 digit Polar on my 6.2 in (est) wrist. Any 5 digit looks good on me.
