14060M No-Date Sub vs. 16710 GMT Master II

Hello to all. I realize these two watches don't have a lot in common. One has no date, drilled lugs, and a fairly light (and some would say rattly) bracelet and clasp that some love and some don't. The other has a Cyclops date, fourth GMT Red hand, a smaller crown, thinner caseback, and lower depth rating. Despite the differences, both are discontinued, relatively light, and wear flatter on the wrist, compared to a 16610 Sub Date or 16600 Sea Dweller, for example.

The specific watches I'm considering are in Mint condition but the 14060M is much newer (2012) while the GMT Master II is an older Y serial (2002/2003) in fantastic condition. While the watches are quite different, I like both and am trying to decide between them. Price is similar -- the GMT is a few hundred more.

What I'm hoping for from this thread is not a feature comparsion so much as an opinion as to whether the 14060M or 16710 will be viewed years from now as an absolute, drop dead, iconic classic in the same vein as (or close to) the 16610 Sub or 16600 Sea Dweller. The question is not so much which watch do you like better so much as do you LOVE either one?

Thanks!
John
