My hang up on the new sub is that the dial just looks too busy with the larger hour markers. Not a gamechanger in of itself, but combined with the $2-3k price difference it's pushing me toward a pre-owned 16610.

I think the 16610 is a smart choice, very classic watch, and you can source a very nice LNIB from one of the trusted sellers here and save some serious coin, sales tax, etc...

Good luck
