Looks like its not easy to answer. Lets say you could afford both but money is something you try to run wisely even if sometimes when you love you don't count !

SeaDweller50 · 29 March 2014, 03:41 AM

I'd like the new one personally.

mike · 29 March 2014, 03:48 AM

With the maxi dial and new clasp the new version would be my pick.

Cc1966 · 29 March 2014, 03:50 AM

New...mostly because of the bracelet/clasp.

Karbo · 29 March 2014, 03:50 AM

I think i will feel terribly alone on this poll lol

HogwldFLTR · 29 March 2014, 03:55 AM

Buy a 16600 and a 14060 for the price of an 116600. To me that makes sense in a new math sort of way. Put that in your Google and search it. But in truth a 116600 from a reliable seller comes close to the price you're quoting for a 16600.

JP Chestnut · 29 March 2014, 03:59 AM

I'm not sure $6k would but the 16600 I'd like. Correct and complete sets seem very hard to come by.

No! You have plenty of friends around!

Nathan_Barnes · 29 March 2014, 04:01 AM

The new 116600 will bring attention back to the 16600 as they are reviving a discontinuted model. The demand increase should help make them more saught after and I would jump at getting the 16600

Don't worry......I'm right there with you. To take your poll one step further.......I would buy a 1665 Great White for the same price as the new 116600

accce · 29 March 2014, 04:04 AM

116600. I already have 2 16600's.

Cru Jones · 29 March 2014, 04:05 AM

This is tough.... I need more time before choosing. But, by the time it will be possible to try the new SD, I would imagine the old will have increased in price by a good bit. Might make sense to grab the 16600 now?

+1,

SaddleSC · 29 March 2014, 04:17 AM

New version...Glidelock + Matte Dial + 60 min Indexes on Bezel seals the deal for me.

bscepter · 29 March 2014, 04:40 AM

i prefer the older one, i guess. mainly for nostalgic reasons. but i'm glad they've offered a sensible alternative to the ridiculous deepsea.

subtona · 29 March 2014, 04:42 AM

I picked the new one...i have an order in for the new one...i have the old one and intend to keep both.

660ft · 29 March 2014, 04:43 AM

I would take the 1665 or the 16600 plus $4k cash for the next sub, but that's just me. I have to admit, the new SD is very nice.

Wesley Crusher · 29 March 2014, 04:44 AM

If money isn't an issue, I'd gladly take both, but if I had to chose one, it would be the 116600. The new clasps and bracelets are a big improvement over the older ones. I'm also a big fan of the maxi dial.

Karbo · 29 March 2014, 04:47 AM

Rolex marketers are lurking thats for sure hehe

That's the perfect spirit buddy Gus! I share with you the same feeling!

Trouble15 · 29 March 2014, 04:50 AM

116610

herbalt · 29 March 2014, 04:50 AM

New version looks great. At that price though, I'd rather save more and go with something gold.

amvd · 29 March 2014, 04:54 AM

both great! if i had to choose it ll be the new one, love it,
many things make the difference, ceramic, clasp, etc
I hope to have one in the nearly future.

Karbo · 29 March 2014, 04:54 AM

Come on gus thought u were a lugholes ayatollah !!

I have betrayed myself, the matte dial & bezel put me over the edge ... Along with the refined case shape.

...i figure the 16600 will be on strap duty once its younger brother arrives

Solo118 · 29 March 2014, 05:31 AM

The sub to sub-c had a large price hike, so its in line.

Also keep in mind Rolex is planning a price hike on all watches, so do not be surprised if the $8500 sub-c became a $9500 sub-c and the SDc will just be $500-$1000 more.

That being said, if I had the funds available for such a watch, I would no doubt go for the new ceramic. It is easily my new favorite dive watch.

nickb732 · 29 March 2014, 05:39 AM

Just for the glidelock.

sco · 29 March 2014, 05:39 AM

Are we assuming both are BNIB? Makes a big difference...
