14060 v. 16610 - which one to keep? Maybe Both?
Happy owner of a 16610. Got the itch and picked up a 14060. Now I'm in the (un)enviable position of owning both. Should I keep both or keep one and flip the other? Thoughts?

Why flip they are different enough to warrant keeping both. Plus you have the T<25 non COSC both are keepers IMO.

If I had to sell one it would be the 16610. As long as it's not necessary why torture yourself with the thought? |

For me personally, I could not justify owning both. They are nearly identical except for minor details and of course the date.
I would flip the 14060 and put it towards something that would be slightly different and give you some variety. Just my 2c. Both are great pieces and classics!! |

Do you have the bracelet for the 14060? If not, I'd flip it. Every Sub needs an oyster option.

For me it would be the 116610 and the 16600. In fact, it is!
Irreplaceable.

16600 is a great choice, similar but not the same

1) Do you need money OR do you regret having two nearly identical watches? If yes, please go to question 2.
2) Do you need the date feature and do you appreciate the "in a heartbeat" change of the date? If yes, flip the 14060m. If not, flip the 16610.

It depends on if you want the date feature or not.
As others suggested, if date is important, get a SD4000 16600 and swap out the 14060 if you can.

Dump the 16610. Use that money for a bit of variety. Maybe an LV or Pepsi or dj or something completely different like a Doxa.
