Opinion ... GMT 16700 and SUB 14060M

Hi, all. I've got a 16700 (black bezel) and am considering a 14060M. Are these too similar in look or should I look at a TT blue sub? Thanks.

Or a red\black, and add a jubilee bracelet.

Think about functionality verses looks, would you use the GMT hand at all

I love my GMT with the black bezel (that red 24 hour hand really pops against that black background) ... not a fan of the Pepsi. Notwithstanding the date, they look similar, but there's just something about that 14060M. I dunno ...

I picked up both last week...

IMHO

While they are similar i feel that there are enough fundamental differences to keep them both

My 16700 came with the black bezel as well, but I had a spare coke bezel lying about. Five minutes with a credit card and voila! Different watch (thankfully I have a spare pepsi as well so 3 watches for the price of one)




Good luck!
