I’ve never posted a question regarding my next watch purchase before since I usually know what I like. In general that has been Rolex sport watches. I like the pre-maxi cases in general and I like both GMT and chronograph complications. I don’t currently own any gold watches two-tone or otherwise. I have a fairly complete collection and would like the forum’s opinion on either a “Rootbeer” GMT 16513 or an IWC Dopplechronograph 3713.

GMT. On the 5-digits you can use the bezel as a timer when needed, down to the half second.

Always Rolex
Better builtretains value better
More versatile

However, pick what speaks to you more not what others pick for you!!

GMT. I'd imagine service intervals on a split second chrono would be a lot shorter and a lot more expensive when compared to the GMT.
