Changing 16710 to a 1675/16750
I was curious on general thoughts on trading in my full set 16710 for a good example but naked, matte dial 1675/16750.
I personally like the 1675/16750 over the 16710. The only thing that gives me pause is I'll be losing the full set. Not that the "investment" portion of a full set is super critical to me, I wear my watches, but it was nice to have if that makes sense. If it were you would you keep the nice full set 16710 or roll with a good example 1675/16750??? Sorry, no pictures yet. I haven't found the 1675/16750 example. Taking my time to find the right piece. I understand this all really comes down to personal preference and various variables between the two watches but would still appreciate general thoughts and insight. |

To me you said the important thing....you wear your watches....if you are buying this watch to wear, not as an investment, I wouldn’t worry about the box and papers....you can always source a box if you want and while the papers are cool, I’d go with your emotions and get then1675/16750.

While I didn’t have a full set 16710, I did in fact sell mine to fund a birth year 1675. The small markers on a 16710 (albeit with white gold surrounds) just don’t have the warmth of the maxi markers on a nicely patinated 1675.

I had a 16700 that I barely didn't wear, I sold it and then bought a 1675 (+ money on top of course). This one I wear as a daily...both pepsi !

Keep the full set and save up your pennies for a 1675.

Yes....would think a bit more about losing the 16710. Am fortunate to have this and the 1675/16750. Whilst both of these are really great watches, I am inclined to be even more cautious when wearing them. My 16710 on the other hand goes just about anywhere.

@greatgoo
Without seeing your current kit, and pics of the specific GMTs you’re thinking of acquiring, it’s difficult to give any meaningful advice. But, taken as a thought experiment I would make the trade. ———— IG: @onthedial Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would keep your full set 16710, more usable for daily wear & tear. But that me.
