Happy owner of a 16610. Got the itch and picked up a 14060. Now I'm in the (un)enviable position of owning both. Should I keep both or keep one and flip the other? Thoughts?

moviefreak · 29 April 2011, 04:00 AM

I prefer the date feature...

mjm800 · 29 April 2011, 04:03 AM

Why flip they are different enough to warrant keeping both. Plus you have the T<25 non COSC both are keepers IMO.

Rollie2011 · 29 April 2011, 04:03 AM

For me personally, I could not justify owning both. They are nearly identical except for minor details and of course the date.

I would flip the 14060 and put it towards something that would be slightly different and give you some variety.

Just my 2c. Both are great pieces and classics!!

Love them BOTH!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Robert · 29 April 2011, 04:05 AM

I vote for keeping them both.

Johny · 29 April 2011, 04:11 AM

hi can you give us some more details about the sub? thank you.

Abid · 29 April 2011, 04:16 AM

Just Keep both! Save your pennies up for the next rollie

Hansch99 · 29 April 2011, 04:16 AM

Do you have the bracelet for the 14060? If not, I'd flip it. Every Sub needs an oyster option.

Brushpup · 29 April 2011, 04:21 AM

Keep both without question......then when something else comes along you really want...you can get that.

globe · 29 April 2011, 04:22 AM

14060, its classic and in future price going up up up when/if Rolex stop make nodate model

lortap · 29 April 2011, 04:57 AM

Flip the 14060 and get a sea dweller (old style), GMT or Explorer.

rolexertion · 29 April 2011, 05:17 AM

For me it would be the 116610 and the 16600. In fact, it is!

Irreplaceable.

lortap · 29 April 2011, 05:18 AM

16600 is a great choice, similar but not the same

Dan2010 · 29 April 2011, 05:21 AM

Been there, done that. Sold both and bought a Sub C.

TSW · 29 April 2011, 05:46 AM

Keep both of them

bscepter · 29 April 2011, 05:49 AM

You said it.

If I had to sell one it would be the 16610. As long as it's not necessary why torture yourself with the thought?

1) Do you need money OR do you regret having two nearly identical watches? If yes, please go to question 2.

2) Do you need the date feature and do you appreciate the "in a heartbeat" change of the date? If yes, flip the 14060m. If not, flip the 16610.
