Which would you prefer: Tudor 94410 or Rolex 16800

I am aware that the 16800 is infamous for being a sort of in-between pariah from a true vintage perspective. The primary reason for this is the sapphire crystal instead of plexi. This however makes it more robust as a dive watch compared to perhaps a 5513 (especially one with a T19, like the one that I have). This also makes it more functional and therefore more appealing to me.

I've been looking around for my next vintage and have been going back and forth between the following models - 1680, 16800, 1675 and 16750. Of these, from a price perspective, 16800 is the most appealing. You can get one for about 5k.

Recently I came across the Tudor snowflake 94410. I am not well versed with this model but have read about it from the little I could find. I think these are supposed to have plexi, not crystal, and an ETA movement. Not sure about the movement inside a 16800.

Now, if all things were equal, specifically price and condition, which of these (16800 or 94410) would someone prefer and why? I came across these same models on lunaroyester's site recently for exactly the same price. Admittedly, impulsively/instinctively, the Tudor looks better. But I don't know much about it.

What do the others think?
