The BLRO looks fantastic on the jubilee bracelet. Would love it if they gave a brushed oyster option with the glidelock clasp....

Every time I think I'm happy with my 16710 Pepsi, one of these posts pops up and I consider chasing a ceramic Pepsi. Then I check secondary prices and convince myself to be happy with what i have haha.

Love the colors of the 16710, but there is something in the ceramic color that reminds me of a more muted 6542 bakelite. Its both modern yet old school.

I'm happy with my 16710 too, and I don't have to worry about 32xx gremlins. You can add an aftermarket ceramic insert to your 16710 insert collection and presto chango from one to another in five or ten minutes. Best of both worlds.

And I have exactly the same. Every time I meet a pal with 16710 on my wrist, I begin an intense search for that watch on Ch24 and watch forums. Because 16710 is a beautiful watch that I might add to my collection.

I will just add from myself that the original Jubilee for Pepsi is relatively short. I now wear it on an unbuttoned Easylink, and I have also moved the telescope on the clasp to the last outer hole. I drove up to AD and ordered an extra link. My wrist is 19.5 cm

These two plus the Datejust take up 90% of the time on the wrist. Yes, I know one is late. ;)

The best moments in life are when you don't have to make tough choices. I don't have to do anything anymore. ;)

Gorgeous pair. If you could only have one, which would it be?

And of the two, of course, BLRO.

If I were to stay with one watch, it wouldn't be either of the two. I love my Batman the most!

I choose to wait for the jubilee over PCL and glad I did but how do you find the scratches on the polished part of the jubilee?

I don't see any scratches on the Jubilee bracelet.
