Submariner 124060 vs. Sea-Dweller 16600
I'm planning my first Rolex purchase end of the year for my 40th birthday. Was originally thinking brand new 124060 all the way but now am kicking around the idea of a 16600. Very different I know but here are some things I'm thinking about:
124060 -Pros: Maxi dial; brighter lume (?); higher quality bracelet and I like the appearance of the clasp more; available brand new; available through local brick and mortar (grey); significantly better power reserve -Cons: Clasp size (need to try on again); more expensive; more blingy -Mixed: Ceramic (more robust but more flashy) 16600 -Pros: More unique; more of a tool / less blingy; more water resistance; cheaper -Cons: Bracelet is lower quality and clinckier (?); don't like the appearance of the clasp as much; thicker (maybe slightly); only available used (in my price range); probably only available online; no AR coating (?); faded lume (?); clasp might not function as well (?); shorter power reserve -Mixed: Date function without cyclops (slight pro as I don't really like the cyclops and I use the date function on my Seamaster); aluminum bezel (I'm not too worried about scratches) Am I off base? Am I missing anything? Let me know what you think about choosing between these two. I may also consider a Sub 14060 depending on what's out there. Thanks! |
