I think that the prices for 16710 are through the roof at present
This is probably reflecting all of the hype / speculation that goes around the Pepsi ceramic that got introduced this year, having a spillover effect on a basic Pepsi 16710.
Have you considered an Explorer II 16570? It's virtually the same watch except for the bezel, and can be had for about half the price of a 16710.
If I was down to a 2 watches collection, it would be my A.L&S 1815 Up/Down and my Polar 16570. Such a versatile watch.
