Can both co-exist?

I plan to get a BLNR from my AD, but I also own a 16700. To those who own both, can these two co-exist? I can't bring myself to give up on the 16700. It's a no-brainer for me.

Everybody should have a 16700 in their collection.

No, it's impossible for them to coexist. If you bring them close together, it will create a tear in the fabric of spacetime and the end of everything as we know it.

You have been warned.

You are so right! It's so balanced on the wrist, and one of the best references ever existed. The "last of the GMTs".

Yes. I sold my 1675 and bought a 16710 to get the 3185 caliber independently adjustable hour hand. I should have kept both.

So true! Aluminum inserts/bracelets are interchangeable. Cheap to replace.

The 16700 is a great reference and a big regret if you sell it - IMHO

This 2 totally different watches. The 16700 is my favorite watch but scratches a different itch than the BLRO.
