Currently wearing a Gloss 16660 Sea-Dweller. I love the watch, but can't seem to get those vintage crystals out if my head!! I also love subs but never owned any.

My idea is to trade up plus $ as funds become available, I also want to experience my favorite watches to decide which I really like. Then buy a pristine specimen.

Here is the plan:
Gloss666 > White 1680 > Matte 666 > Red 1680 > White 1665

What do you think? I have actually tried all the above on the wrist (exception Matte 666) but I can't decide which I like best.

Any input would be appreciated

Get all of them.

Input is meaningless as it's purely personal preference...They are all nice watches...

For what it's worth, I currently own one vintage watch....and this was my choice..

Clay, your watch is stunning! That is the goal at the end if the journey.

rl96701 · 10 August 2011, 07:05 AM

Which model amongst my selection would be the hardest to procure?

Frogman4me · 10 August 2011, 09:05 AM

Can't go wrong with a great white or a red. Both should suffice your vintage urge but do you want a dome or top hat plastic ?

I would say that if a nice 1665 is what you want to end up with, I would just go for that straight away.....It may take some time to find the right one....I looked for long time before I found the right watch....

Not to confuse the situation.... do you need a date?

Jagatai · 10 August 2011, 09:31 AM

yeah I agree with clay. skip the ones you consider interim pieces go for your top choice.

guess if you can't decide just buy one for a while and flip for the next, might end up loosing a bit though but you would have enjoyed all your favorites:).

rl96701 · 11 August 2011, 04:59 AM

Nice blue, but I like the date complication.

I am leaning towards the 1665 but what to experience others too. Maybe not the cheapest way but I will definitely know what I like when it's all done.

Anyone one of you guys went from a modern-ish dweller to a 1680 an felt it was a favorable switch
