I just had a similar experience to when I sat at an AD for hours with a 116613 and a 16613 side by side trying to choose one.

In this case, the differences between the two weren't as significant. I ended up buying the more expensive one. Unlike the TT Sub, I could actually afford both, so the next day I went back and bought the other one as well, just in case.

Which one would you have paid more for? As far as I know, the only differences between them are visible in the photo.

I might try to convince my father to give up his black plastic digital Casio for one of them.

Well to me it looks like the one on the left is a bit more complicated movement......am I wrong?

The right is missing something in the skeletonized movement.

Movement looks different

Both have the same Oris 734 (based on SW 200) movement, the only difference is how it has been skeletonized. It is most obvious to me at 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock.

The one on the right is the newer one, which I like better, and originally paid more for, before going back and picking up the one on the left as well.

I absolutely love this watch, but there is no denying that there are so many subtle differences in quality comparing it to a Rolex.
