I'd Like Opinions Please

[SkyKing31]

It isn't going to be a surprise to many of you when my next incoming thread is going to show a 116233 on a jubilee bracelet and champagne dial. The DJ has always been my favorite and always will be. I have a problem though, and I'd like opinions from members who can give me their thoughts on the incoming thread that will follow my incoming DJ thread.

I have a choice between a 116713, or a TT Yacht Master 16623. I mentioned a friend having the 116713 with a green dial and gold 24hr hand swapped from his 116718. It's a really sharp watch and I like it a lot. I also really like the look of the black dial and ceramic bezel. There is a green dial on Ebay but I don't like the price, but I found one from a watch dealer who has been in business a long time and his price is a little lower. He also has a 116713 with the black dial and green 24hr hand. Both watches come with boxes, cards (papers), hang tags, books .. The whole package.

The other watch I like is a 16623. The 16623 is a really great looking watch, and I don't see as many of those as I do the GMT's Subs, and DJ's. I saw two 16623's that I really like. One has a factory white MOP dial with ruby hour markers, and the other has a black MOP dial with luminous hour markers. I really like both GMT's and I really like both 16623's. The ruby MOP dial is pre owned but in perfect condition. The black MOP has never been worn. Both come with boxes, books, hang tags.

So, I'd like to hear from those who own or have owned the 116713 and the 16623. I'd like to know your opinions are about these watches. I'd also like the opinions from others on what they think of these watches. The black MOP is really singing to me, but the white ruby MOP is too. Your thoughts and opinions will be greatly appreciated.
