116713 Owners - usage pattern?

Hello forum.

I am eyeballing the 116713 TT GMT, and as it would be my first TT, I am hesitant to take that big step, moving away from the more (to me) secure/safe S/S choice(116710LN or 116710BLNR).

(It would be used in rotation with a 16610LV)

Anyway, interested in hearing from current or former owners of the 116713 -

- Do you use it as your main daily wearer?

- Are there situations where you deliberately wear a S/S model instead?

and finally, wrist shots are very welcome!

Thanks :-)

I had one for a little while. I ended up trading it for an SS but that was a personal choice based on a great opportunity. If you have to get a TT, it's the one to get

I wear it in rotation but it gets the most wrist time

I absolutely love my 16713. It gets the most wear and is my 1st call for a dress up evening especially with an alligator strap. The sub was a grail until I got this watch. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1373455358.899221.jpg

I too was a Sub guy at first, but once you realize there is more to life than the Submariner, watches become fun!
