Modern vintage question
I’ve never posted a question regarding my next watch purchase before since I usually know what I like. In general that has been Rolex sport watches. I like the pre-maxi cases in general and I like both GMT and chronograph complications. I don’t currently own any gold watches two-tone or otherwise. I have a fairly complete collection and would like the forum’s opinion on either a “Rootbeer” GMT 16513 or an IWC Dopplechronograph 3713.

GMT. On the 5-digits you can use the bezel as a timer when needed, down to the half second.

GMT. I'd imagine service intervals on a split second chrono would be a lot shorter and a lot more expensive when compared to the GMT.
