Advice from the experts

I currently own the 16613 but want to get a feel for a newer ceramic sport version. After researching alot of the trusted sellers it seems that the 116710 Black Bezel is the cheapest (price wise not quality) ceramic version I could purchase in LNIB or excellent condition priced in the mid $6000's...does anyone disagree and could recommend one of the other Rolex sport versions or does that seem to be correct?

I think, right now, that the SubC ND (114060) is a very good deal. I won't talk about specific prices, but you can get a super nice condition version for well under $6.5K - I'd consider that one as well.

I'd be more inclined to spend some time figuring which watch I really wanted.

Agreed, if it's not what you really want, you will not be happy for long.

The best thing is to go to an AD and try as many different models with ceramic bezels as possible. Then you can shop with confidence that you're going to like what you buy.

Absolutely.. I'm not really sure the point of the question..

I would never simply buy one model because I can get it cheaper than another model. If that were the case we would all be driving Yugos

In any event, I would think that you could get the 114060 for less than a 116710.
