Is having both 16710 and 14060M repetitive?

[baamvino]

In love with these two neo-vintage pieces, but am considering whether one of them should be replaced with a modern Rolex piece, like the 126710 or 124060, since they feel a bit repetitive.

What do you guys think?

[train-time]

Absolutely not! These are two classics and are perfect together. If they were mine, I would add a Jubilee to the 16710 and you would have the best of both worlds

[illiguy]

Heck no. Great pair of watches right there.

[Rick_Nashville]

These are two of the most coveted watches on the planet. Definite keepers. Add a 114270, and you have a world-class trio of tool watches.

[0nly5iv3Digits]

Definitely not. I have both. Very different watches, but the devil is in the details. If you want to simplify your way of looking at it - one is monochromatic and goes with everything; the other is playful with it's bright colors.

[lee fowler]

No!

I’d be keeping hold of both of those great looking watches

[nyc2la]

Hold. Hold.

[TomWambsgans]

I have a 14060M and can't stop thinking about getting a 16710. I don't see them as overlapping at all.

[RolexDave68]

No, you have a fantastic two piece combo to enjoy

[Zach69SS]

Nope, those are classics. You can add a newer piece to your collection? If you feel the itch for something new.

Cheers,

Lovely pair - my first two Rolex!

I have both 6 digit models. Awesome to have both!!

A true watch enthusiast does not look at watches that way.

A Sub and a GMT do not have anything in common, they are two different watches for two completely different purposes.

The only thing repetitive is that they both show the time, as does any watch.

[Andad]

Repetitive only in the context of owning two watches.

If you want a better clasp get the newer watch. Otherwise no advantage to going newer, besides maybe the maxi dial. Alternatively swap your bracelets to 97200.

RSC will replace crystals now for reasonable fee to get AR coating.

I would have done this had I not gotten a Pepsi from my AD. So, I paired my 14060M with a similar vintage 16570 polar. The turn of the century tool watch look is addictive. Though I love my 6 digits for their more refined aesthetic, I appreciate the allure of the 5 digits, especially in sport watches.

I agree, adding a jubilee to the GMT would go a long way to eliminate overlap. I would definitely keep both.

[rmagoo57]

Go for it! Then get a 16570 polar for the trifecta!

[bronxbombers42]

Heck no! Those are two 5 digit icons and serve different purposes. They’re a great two watch collection on their own, so wear them in good health!

[Jackie Daytona]

Nope. Pretty much perfection in a 2 professional watch collection!

I think they go great together. I wouldn't vote against a modern version of one of the two though.
A Sub and a GMT is my favorite pairing.

No need to fix what’s not broken. 5 digits are some of the best proportioned Rolex sport models out there. In terms of Subs, the 14060M and 16610LV are my personal favorites from that era. A late 14060M is a modern movement with charm of lug holes and aluminum insert. The bracelet rattle also is part of the appeal.

While an owner of 6 digit watches, there is something special about the perfect proportions of the 5 digits.

Definitely not disagreeing with you there.
There's a certain charm about the 5 digit refs.
At the same time, I do enjoy the solid, robust feeling of the modern references.

[pigman08]

Hell no… That combo is five digit perfection.

I only own current generation Rolex but the older I get the more I admire vintage. Keep those two beauties.

[subtona]

In the context of your question. No change recommended.

2 perfect watches
