114060 vs 216570

Just want to get some thoughts and opinions from the kind folks here on TRF. I have been looking for a used 114060 for some months now, but have not come across any decently priced ones. I have asked my regular grey dealers to keep an eye out, with a budget that I am comfortable with. But zilch so far. Quite bored of the hunt, I am now considering just pulling the trigger on a 216570 (black dial) instead. Used prices for the Exp2 are lower than a used 114060 and if I'm honest, I quite like both.

Before you ask me to go for trusted sellers here on TRF, I am located in Malaysia. Which means once you factor in exchange rates, shipping, taxes, etc... this is no longer feasible.

Some idea of what I currently have: 116610LV, 116710BLNR, 116660LN, 116713LN. BLNR is in the safe; while I like it, its purpose is really for me to watch its value grow. Which leaves me with the Hulk and DSSD - both of which I don't really want to wear to work; one won't fit under a cuff and the other is a little too eye-catching. As for the two-tone... well.

I've also at some point owned a 116710LN, 116610LN. Modern sports Rolex suits me, especially since I prefer bigger case sizes. What I'm really after is a simple, understated watch, something I can wear to work and won't risk getting (unwanted) attention from my bosses... but a Rolex. Maybe to be strapped on, on Fridays after a week of Seikos and Apple Watch. Hence why I was gravitating towards the 114060 in the first place; just wind and adjust the time and you'd be good to go. But... should i consider the 216570 instead, since I just can't seem to find a reasonably priced 114060?

In the meantime, please feel free to share your pics of 114060 and 216570 with me, TRF!
