Go for new. You know for sure the WR and wears better imo. Even so, my fav is the 1675, if down to one choice, it'd be it. . Cheers S

Hello friends! The things I endure to get a good cigar shot šŸ˜‚ So I got the green light from my amazing light to blow my 10k budget and get myself a Rolexā€¦so I have my 3861 Speedmaster and need a dive watch to complement itā€¦so Iā€™m torn between a vintage 16...  

Personally Iā€™d go with new.

Fewer headaches in my opinion šŸ‘

Also warranty

Oh right! 5 years.

My choice would be..

buy new, wear it a lot, enjoy it, make it your vintage as the years pass. Look forward to the cigar shots. šŸŗ

Yes go for the 41 mm Sub with the green bezel. Itā€™s a great looking watch.

With you on the 1675!

Vintage? what do you call vintage? 16610? In this case it is neo vintage and a good one, without too many headache.

 
 By: amanico : January 21st, 2024-20:57

Okā€¦so I could be talked into a 1675ā€¦

 
 By: gregcarraram3 : January 21st, 2024-21:16
Full disclosure, my wife for years has said the 42mm explorer 2 is the one for me, but, I really would much prefer a colored bezel!

Go, my friend, go!

Tough call hereā€¦

 
 By: gregcarraram3 : January 21st, 2024-21:32
I may lean towards something newer, next stop can be vintage, I thinkā€¦the 1675s in good shape are pretty priceyā€¦I do love the huntā€¦

Yes, but you also have the 16750, 16760, 16710. A bit less pricey, but it all depends on the condition. The GMT MASTER is worth a serious consideration.

Excellent point my friendā€¦

 
 By: gregcarraram3 : January 21st, 2024-22:28
And there is the 116710 alsoā€¦I do like the green accentsā€¦

Why not, but we ate not in the vintage league anymore.

If I lived in a country where there is a multitude of quality watch makers I would strongly favor vintage. Here in the USA I don't feel we have met that bar yet

A good vintage example...
