I agree with you on the 16613, unworn stickers on at somewhat of a bargain price, but that is only if it remains pristine. The OP seems to be looking for an every day watch. The GMT as a current model is in my opinion the best buy of the three. Actually if I was starting a collection I would buy both the 16613LB and the 116613LN they are both priced very well. The 116713 seems a bit high.

116713 for me as well.
I prefer the newer cases and other changes on the ceramic models. Plus you get the useful GMT function.

I'd go for the 16613LB. It's a beautiful watch (as are the others) but it's also the cheapest. Then you'll save almost $4k to go towards your next watch. Because if you hang out on this forum there will be another watch.

Don't choose on price. Get what you really want, it's cheaper in the long run.
Personally, not a fan of two-tone. It makes me think people want gold but can't afford it. A bit like those cloth car seats trimmed in leather. Neither one thing or the other.

The sub looks good in SS and spectacular in solid precious metal.

The GMT is awesome in TT.

Between these three, the TT GMTIIC wins hands down. For some reason I don't care for the TT SubC LN.

GMT. If you travel or have conference calls across timezones its useful in daily life. Its replaced my Apple Watch lol. The new GMT references are super and I wear a BLNR or an LN for business. For personal time I find the previous reference 16710 to sit more comfortably. Its lighter and the lugs aren't the fat monstrosities on the new case. Coke and Pepsi bezels still bring a smile. The only other Rolex model I will for sure buy is older Explorer 2 with white dial. Nearly as versatile as GMT but with a completely different look.
