The 16710 all the way.

As waterproof as you'll ever need, a useful complication (display of 2nd/3rd time zones), and the ability to easily switch inserts from the BLRO to an all-black LN or black & red "Coke" insert as well as wearing well with a Jubilee if you want gives it unmatched aesthetic versatility.

I prefer a Submariner over a GMT II, however in this instance I would keep the Pepsi because if you change your mind I think finding another 16610 would be easier than finding another 16710 in that condition. Good luck.

A difficult decision, but I agree.

Is that a 3185 or 3186 Pepsi?

Either way that is the one.

16710 in a heartbeat. I would be more indecisive if it was a 16610 LV.

Between those two I'd keep the 16710. If the Submariner were a 16610LV my answer would be different

The 16710. Prefer my Submariner without the date; however, think the cyclops looks great on the GMT.

gotta agree with the 16710, it's a classic.

Not that the 16610 isn't, but the 16710 screams classic Rolex, and yours looks like a beautiful example.

Subs are my favorite, but prefer the Submariner to the Sub Date. In this instance, 16710 all the way. Looks to be a gorgeous example!
