16660 versus 16800

[topcat30093]

Following on from my previous post about wearing my 5512 as an everyday watch.

I have been giving the subject a lot of thought and the fact is that the 5512 is far to valuable to be used in my daily job, one knock and I could damage it, not necessary beyond repair, but it may never be the same.

So my thoughts are to get either a matte dial with beautiful & genuine patina, 16660 or 16800. This piece would be used as a total tool watch. Also I would feel happier swimming with it. I would probably remove the bracelet and fit a NATO strap.

Now I am asking for your thoughts, both pros & cons between these two models. What do you think, which one and why

Please include as many photos of the two pieces as possible.

Thank you for your help.

Regards

Tony
