Voted for jubilee/coke…I think it’s such a great looking configuration! Hoping for lots of photos from members who own this great reference.

I have all 3 bezels and both bracelets. I like them all, but gravitate to the Pepsi more than others - although the black has something about it.

For the bracelet, the jubilee as a change from others

Even more choices with the faded bezels. I have the oyster bracelet too and my favorite combo is jubilee + non faded pepsi insert

There’s just something so cool about a faded, serif, Pepsi insert on an Oyster…

Though I do also enjoy a fresh Pepsi insert on a Jubilee.

I like the oyster/Pepsi combo for the 16710. Although I’ve always admired the black bezel on it as well.

Oyster / Pepsi followed closely by Oyster / Coke.
Now how about that raffle?

"Best combo" depends upon what else you have and how the 16710 fits in. I put my 16710 on a Super Jubilee (and wear it with the Pepsi insert) because I have Oysters on the 1680 and 1665, both of which have black inserts. The Super Jubilee was a nice way to diversify. But if I didn't have those other pieces with Oyster bracelets, then I probably would've kept the Oyster on the 16710 (though still with the Pepsi insert).

Really little reason not to have all the combinations as they're easily switchable and availability of parts is plentiful.

Oyster Pepsi is my watch, has been since the ‘60s with 3 additions in the late ‘70s, late ‘80s and late ‘90s
What can I say, I am a GMT Pepsi addict.

Perfect

I picked the black oyster in the poll just due to the older jubilees being a little more prone to stretch (especially versus the oyster)…but strictly on looks, this one is the best imo. Beautiful.
