16760 or 1675 Root Beer-cannot decide

Going forward I'm thinking of flipping/swapping watches. If you had to keep one.
would it be a 1978-Root Beer GMT. TT Oyster. or 1989 Fat Lady on ST Oyster.

I would keep the 16760. An underrated Rolex that wasn't in production long and will only go up in value.
