cyphion Posted September 28, 2012 Report Posted September 28, 2012 So I've decided tonight over dinner, that I will probably once again consolidate my collection to one of each of the Rolex models. So currently I have a MBK 1680 and a TC 16610. One has to go. So the choice is sell the TC and keep the 1680 and send it out for lume, etc. Or do it the other way. But I've decided that my collection will be as follows to cover all bases: Jackjo SSDv2 with the works( this one won't leave the stable) A Sub A Tudor Sub A GMT (My MBK that I'm in the process of putting together) A 7032 I figure that with this I can cover just about any base, and be very content. So back to my original question, a 1680 or 16610? Thanks Guys Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
danielv2000 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Posted September 28, 2012 Based on what you have, I would keep the 1680. The 16610 is too similar in appearance to the SD. My $0.02
Utheman Posted September 28, 2012 Report Posted September 28, 2012 Based on what you have, I would keep the 1680. The 16610 is too similar in appearance to the SD. I second this opinion, plus the 1680 has lugholes. Vintage is in right now.
Utheman Posted September 28, 2012 Report Posted September 28, 2012 A 16610 can have lug holes. True, but probably not the one he's talking about.
mjmj Posted September 28, 2012 Report Posted September 28, 2012 Keep Both!! I dare say you will regret it if you let one go.
imajedi Posted September 28, 2012 Report Posted September 28, 2012 I say keep the 1680 and sell the 16610 to me. Very simple. :-)
woof* Posted September 28, 2012 Report Posted September 28, 2012 Science has proven women prefer lugholes, this has been demonstrated time and time again. Without question...keep the 1680, you will thank me later.
panerai153 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Posted September 28, 2012 keep the 1680, it's a classic. the 16610's are a dime a dozen.
cyphion Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Posted September 28, 2012 Wow, a lot of love for the 1680. I think I'm in with everyone else. Plus Plexi is sexi Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
alligoat Posted September 29, 2012 Report Posted September 29, 2012 I guess what I like about the 16610 is the sapphire crystal- makes it much more rugged than the 1680- those plastic crystals are always taking a hit. Of course, 16800 is my favorite
cyphion Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Posted September 29, 2012 I really love the matte dial. That's what does it for me. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
mch2112 Posted September 29, 2012 Report Posted September 29, 2012 16800 has sapphire and lug holes. But I've never seen a rep of it.
cyphion Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Posted September 30, 2012 Me neither. It is definitely something that needs to be franken, but I like the 1680 enough that I can be content with it.
