1665 and 16600 Sea-Dwellers - Too Similar to Own Both?

Gents:

Does anyone own BOTH of these watches? If so, are they too similar to own both? I wear my 16600 everyday, and it is GREAT. It is truly all I need. However, I'm thinking about picking up a 1665 as a weekend watch to mix things up. I'm wondering if they are so similar that nothing will get or feel mixed up.

Any thoughts? As reference, the other watch I am looking to get to mix it up would be a PloProf 600m in great, vintage shape.

Would love to hear some thoughts. Thanks guys.

V/R

Mike

**MODS**: I posted this in the Vintage section too to get those guys' thoughts as well. If I can only post in one forum, please delete from that forum but leave this one. Thanks!

a 1665 is a serious vintage piece, would be my 1st choice

I wouldn't want to wear it daily, so having the 16600 would be perfect...

X2 azguy put it best.

Not too similar at all, and a very good idea.

Oh no. Then I'd have to get a DSSD at some point too.... I'm trying to get less watches, not more!
