Incoming..first vintage piece
I finally did it. After a few months of research and hunting I found the best/right 16710 coke in my budget. Z serial/3185. Mad props to DavidSW for making my first non AD purchase a breeze. Went to AD today and got the watch checked out. Everything checked out perfectly. Needless to say, I love it. Dare I say more than my new 126710.

Now for the obligatory pics..

Stay safe everyone!

Beautiful watch. I prefer these to the newer 6 digits as well.

Congratulations!! Awesome piece.

When you say you brought the watch to your AD to get checked out? Is that out of concern that DavidSW didn’t leave you fully confident? Just curious

Love it, so much more personality than most of the newer pieces, and its's not just the pop of color...

Great looking Pepsi! Once you go vintage, you never go back (or something like that... :-)

Beautiful. Of all the bezels, I have always felt pictures don’t do the Coke justice.
