Tough call here…

I may lean towards something newer, next stop can be vintage, I think…the 1675s in good shape are pretty pricey…I do love the hunt…

Hello friends! The things I endure to get a good cigar shot 😂 So I got the green light from my amazing light to blow my 10k budget and get myself a Rolex…so I have my 3861 Speedmaster and need a dive watch to complement it…so I’m torn between a vintage 16...  

Personally I’d go with new.

Fewer headaches in my opinion 👍

Also warranty

My choice would be..

buy new, wear it a lot, enjoy it, make it your vintage as the years pass. Look forward to the cigar shots. 🍺

Yes go for the 41 mm Sub with the green bezel. It’s a great looking watch.

Go for new. You know for sure the WR and wears better imo. Even so, my fav is the 1675, if down to one choice, it'd be it. . Cheers S

With you on the 1675!

Vintage? what do you call vintage? 16610? In this case it is neo vintage and a good one, without too many headache.

Ok…so I could be talked into a 1675…

Full disclosure, my wife for years has said the 42mm explorer 2 is the one for me, but, I really would much prefer a colored bezel!

Go, my friend, go!

Yes, but you also have the 16750, 16760, 16710. A bit less pricey, but it all depends on the condition. The GMT MASTER is worth a serious consideration.

Excellent point my friend…

 
 By: gregcarraram3 : January 21st, 2024-22:28
And there is the 116710 also…I do like the green accents…

Why not, but we ate not in the vintage league anymore.

If I lived in a country where there is a multitude of quality watch makers I would strongly favor vintage. Here in the USA I don't feel we have met that bar yet

A good vintage example...
