Dump the 16610. Use that money for a bit of variety. Maybe an LV or Pepsi or dj or something completely different like a Doxa.

Less is more.

Keep the no date. Much cleaner looking watch.

16610 is iconic... You may miss the date complication... Personally, I would.

I vote to keep the 16610.

I would keep the Sub, I like the look of a dateless watch.

I am confused. What is your "(un)enviable position"? You have two fantastic subs.

Both watches are gems that should be kept at all cost IMO....

If another is on the cards, save for it!

I really like the leather strap on your 14060, looks really good. Keep both I say and save for another!

I did the same thing as you. I ended up getting rid of both subs and got a sea dweller.

I had both and sold the 16610 and ended up buying a Sea-Dweller. The 2 subs were just too similar but I prefer the no date non cosc. Much cleaner and if I want the date function I put on the SD.

It depends on if you want the date feature or not.
As others suggested, if date is important, get a SD4000 16600 and swap out the 14060 if you can.

I'd keep the sub date and flip the ND for a new EXPY II. Or sell both and get SS sub c!
