Lusting for TT
Up to this point, I've only worn steel watches from a variety of brands. I love the look of a full gold piece, but it's just not my style, though I'm sure it will be one day. I've decided that my next watch will be two toned. I probably won't purchase till later in the year, but I want to get your opinion on which two toned watch I should pursue:
116613 LB 116613 LN 116713 116523 Right now I'm leaning towards the bluesy because I've enjoyed owning a 14060M and 116610 LV, but I'm not sure yet if I should change it up. Thanks, Edward |

116613 LB or LN are both great choices.

I would, but the older style oyster bracelet clasp does not sit center on my 6.5" wrist. With my 14060 I removed one of the permanent links to get it to sit centered. After owning the Hulk, I've decided that the newer models just look better on my wrist. They have an extra removable link, and the new clasp is just leaps and bounds over the old tinny one.

The new TT Sub with the sunburst dial or the TT GMTIIC. The latter wears differently as it is a bit thinner and sits more flat on the wrist, and the lugs are just a tad less maxi.

All are excellent choices. If you think you may be interested in a blue dial watch, I'd check out the 116523 with the blue Arabic dial. It's a stunning watch and having a Daytona would add some variety to your collection.

I only flipped my 16613 for the full gold. GMT II also looks the goods if blue isn't your thing.
I did find the same issue as you did with the old models clasp as well, it needed a half link. |

Thanks for the great pics guys! I have a lot to think about, but as we all know, one day we want one, the next day we want another...I wish I could just buy all of them. For now, it looks like the 116613 LB is the most popular, and it was the one I was already leaning towards...
