Would you flip 16613 for 116610?
Decisions, decisions...
Wondering about flipping my Bluesy for the new Sub in black... I would have to shell out a substantial amount of €€€... Would you do it?

Hey Andreas
I guess it's all about how much you want the new sub...If you're dreaming about it and keep imagining it on your wrist then it's going to be hard to resist Personally I much prefer the SS models... I have always traded watches I was no longer wearing much... Maybe sit on this for a while... Wear you're tt sub for a week...don't take it off...and see how you feel in 7 days

I wouldn't flip/ditch/swap my 16613 for another watch as I'm too happy with it.
Get another watch for sure, but not part with my current.

Personally, I would not. I owned a 16613 and sold it a few years back (regrettably).

Stick with the 16613, the 116610 is similar to the 116600. Plus, you will take a bath on the 16613.

I'd do it with the blue one in a heart beat........
Now, if it was a killer Black TT, no way...........

Yes... I do have a fondness for blue dials, but personally I do not care for gold.

While I'm not a huge fan of the blue 16613, I'd say keep it for variety sake. I think the new Sub is too close in style to the DSSD that you already have.

Keeping the 16613 if it were my choice.
I sold mine and am regretting it, but will soon have my Daytona Meteorite. On the great hunt now for the right dial. Anyway, after I get the Daytona I will reacquire a Bluesy or even a TT Black Sub at some point.

Not a huge fan of the 16613 due to TT (but the blue is pretty cool); however, I would keep over the 116610. It is just too square, and clasp is pretty thick. I prefer the rounder classic style. However, if it speaks to you, go for it. If I were to go the new sub route, it would be the LV.

Certainly not if I had to add a substantial amount of $$$
I'd rather wait for the price of a black 116610 to come down in the resale market and then I would add it to the blusey.
