14060 No-COSC or 16700 T<25 ?

I am confused about buying a 14060 no cosc or a 16700 with T<25 written on the face?

Which one would you go for? Which one is more unique? (I know most will say to follow my heart but I really need your comments)

Thanks

Both different watches, it really is down to personal choice in that do you want a sub or GMT

The GMT 16700 is, without doubt, more unique..

The 16700 GMT Master replaced the previous generation acrylic crystal 16750 and was only made from ~1989 through ~1999. It is NOT a GMT II, so it has synced hands (no jump feature)..

The 14060 also started in ~1989, but it is still in production and, of course, is a Sub, so there are considerably more of them around than the 16700..

But still... You buy the watch you want.. Not what a bunch of Forum members suggests...

How about a non-COSC T<25?

There is no such thing as "more unique".

Neither watches are unique as there many hundreds or even thousands of them around and all the same except for a case stamp.So you buy the watch you want if you want it to dive or in water a lot buy the sub,if you travel a lot buy the 16700.
