After having the SubC over 3 weeks now, I kind of caught the Rolex bugs as one says .... so, I need you guys advice on these model : 116710 LN and 116713 LN ... ? which one is better in daily wear and valuation-wise ?

How does these 2 compare to the SubC LN I'm having ?

The Claps with these 2, how does it work compare to the Glidelock in the SubC ?

Pictures of both , or all 3 together would be very helpful !

Thanks TRF really appreciate it !!!

P/S : should i hang on to my SubC for now, or flip it for one the 2 above?

OR should I keep the subC for now, and wait till Rolex master the ceramic colour mixing and take the GMT Pepsi hopefully ?

Any one got a photoshop picture of that future version ?

can't advise on that, it's up to you what feels and looks good on the wrist... based on your current collection i'd go with the 116713 if i had the opportunity... 116710 too similar to 116610..

Thought you wanted a Pepsi, Steve?

Between 116710 and 116713, I would go 116710 because I hate TT watches.

But if I were you, I would wait for new Explorer 2, because your SubC looks very similar to 116710.

MortgageGuy · 21 April 2011, 08:23 AM

I would also purchase the 116710 as I am not a fan of TT. Here is a pic of my 116710. I would also keep the Sub C, I have both and think they are different enough to have/keep both

You've only had your current watch for only 3 weeks, I wouldn't advise anyone to flip that quickly unless for some reason you are able without taking a loss.

There will always be another watch. Try to determine as early as you can which one or ones will make you the happiest.

The disease can be a bit overwhelming, go with it and just ensure whatever you do, you do without regret or remorse. Just be happy.

Love my SS GMTIIc. It really is a stunner with the PCL. Nice change from the normal tool watches. Most don't like the PCL's but if you have a Subc, then the PCL's are a nice change and look really good.

Kiddodoc · 21 April 2011, 08:31 AM

TT is one that I like in the Daytona and the Datejust. Not a big fan of other TT models.

esm · 21 April 2011, 08:53 AM

Steve, as others have also suggested... the 116710LN is different enough to the 116610LN.... (especially the lume colours

)

George Ab · 21 April 2011, 09:01 AM

Maybe you should lay down until the urge goes away. Come September the first of the Exp II 216570 should be around.

The easy links system of the GMT IIc is very nice. As with a quick adjustment you can increase the length a few mm. Easier then moving the adjustment one position on the gluidelock you are used to.

stev · 21 April 2011, 05:39 PM

Thank you all for the reply, I really appreciate it !!! TRF is best !!!!!

I will keep the advice in mind, consider and evaluate it in next couple of days and see how it goes, maybe try on both of them first to see how it fits.

You will not stop collecting Rolex watches, that is the problem with a Rolex watch. :)

Since I've stopped flipping watches and limit myself to 1 great buy a year I've learned to appreciate the remaining watches in my collection more

johnnyc · 21 April 2011, 11:42 PM
