Tough one. 114060 is my favorite model, just a great everyday wearer. The 116600 has never really appealed to me too much because I'll never need the added depth rating or the helium escape function and just don't see any reason to get a thicker/heavier watch for no practical reason. But....you do already have a Sub, and a great one with that 116610LV....so you actually have the Sub covered. As such, in your case, I think I'd go SD. Adds another classic reference and one you won't be able to get BNIB for much longer probably.

Edited to add: Haha, missed that those SD pics were yours!good choice!

I think it all depends on what is important to you.

SD4K pros IMO: greater water resistance/engineering, the raised crystal/vintage vibe and minute markers along the bezel, less common.

I like the 114060 better now only because it's a touch more comfortable ( not that the SD4K is uncomfortable) due to the lower weight and thinness...yet wears a little larger with the surface area of the watch face, including the dial, appearing larger due to it being thinner/flatter than the SD4k.

The differences in lug size on the models are neither here nor there with me. I like the thinner/smaller lugs of the SD4K...but I also like the fatter lugs of the 114060 which gives the Sub more of a "cushion case" look like the old vintage divers of the past from other brands.
(i.e. DOXA)

Same experience here!

Big congrats!

Get the SD4K! The 114060 will also be available in the near future. The 116600 will probably be harder to find or increase in price if we may believe the expectations. Both top models so there is not really a bad choice.

116600 for me
