Incoming - I have problems - help!
Just as I was wrapping up my deal for my U serial 16710 another one fell into my lap. This one I actually owned about a year ago. I sold it to a friend and he called me asking if I wanted it back. Not sure why I said yes... but I couldn’t help myself. It was born a coke so I’ll throw the coke insert that I have for it back on. So now what do I do?
Keep both? No holes, and holes. Swiss and Swiss Made. Coke and Pepsi. Jubilee and oyster? Two super duper complete sets. Is there room in a collection for 2 16710’s? Or is that silly? If I keep one, which one?? I have problems... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Absolutely room for both. I have a ‘97 holy T25 and wouldn’t hesitate to own a SEL/LE given the chance. You can’t lose if you change your mind and sell later so it’s a no-brainier.

I would keep them both. You can always move one later. I don't think they will go down in value! Nice problem to have.

Sounds like the general consensus is to keep. That’s why I love my TRF family!

The one with holes wears lighter due to, uh, the holes. I'd definitely keep them both!

Both. I had the same situation. So I bought a jubilee and changed the A serial ( holes case) to a Coke and added the jubilee to my D serial Pepsi. ( no holes case )

And we all know, lighter == better performance. If you need to walk somewhere faster, you wear the hole case one, if you're not in a hurry, the no hole case one. If you're driving, the caramic one. It's good to have options :D

I’d definitely keep them both. Just swap one out with the Coke bezel and you’re good to go.
Congratulations again Josh.

Well I had six 16710s at one time... So I'd say yes it's good to have multiple and you're in good company. Great references.
