My current Rolex is a ND Oyster Perpetual, which I love. A sub would mostly be my summer watch. What makes you hesitate between the different models?

No hesitation between the two models as such. I suppose the initial offer of the 116610LN caught me a little off guard and with the well documented supply issues for SS sports models I thought it would be too good an opportunity to pass on. I mean who couldn’t find a home for a 116610LN in their collection??? Anyway the option was taken out of my hands which ultimately did me a big, big favour.

For me and I’m a little bit biased having owned and regretted to this day selling my 14060, my first serious watch purchase, the simplicity and balance of ND dial ticks my boxes. I already have a 16600 which provides me with a date function so I’ve got that if I need the date. Plus I prefer a flat crystal which both watches provide. I appreciate some love the cyclops so it’s different strokes, for different folks. As per the default statement when buying a watch, you’ve got to go with what sings to you. And you’ll know when you know.....
