116610 LN or 16610, witch one to go for?

[DR M]

 

Classic or practicality?

Hay every one,,, 

I know these is a question without a true answer, because every body have his own preference

But I have these headache for a week now, and I know for a fact that I well benefit from your discussion

I bought the 116610 LN for my 31 Birthday, and the 5513 for my 32, and already have a priceless 16030 (purchased the day I was born) and a classic speedmaster man on the moon (manual) and in the next week is my 33..

 

I don't have any problem with my ceramic Sub, actually I love it and I wear it almost every day, It's beautiful, practical, and a good value for my money,,, but there is too many around!!

 

For that I was planing to have my first Frankenstein Rolex, A supper classic 6538 for my 33 birthday, that's why I came here in the first place, but I postponed these project for many reasons...

 

Now, a friend of mine offer my his 16610, good condition with papers and box + a classic JL Reverso 250886 in medium condition and well need a new strap, also with box and paper (Both he recently inherited from his late father) for my 116610 LN and maybe I can squeeze him for another 1000 - 1500$ 

 

OR I can just turn down the Reverso and get enough money to bay the watchCo SM 300

 

I did my research and math, the price of both pieces = my watch

And I did my home work as well, and I know all the physical differences between the the 116610 LN and the 16610, glass, crown guard, the movement and of course the bezel

 

As a conclusion (and correct my if I'm wrong), the 16610 is more classic, for sure it's gona hold it's value but it well kill my with the service or when I want to sell it..

On the other hand the 116610 LN is more practical, easy to be sold or trade but any 22 years new graduate can own one...

 

And both the Reverso OR the SM 300 is a huge bonus to my collection although it's in not a great value for my money as the Submariner

 

I'm getting older and maybe I feel older,, that's why I bought the 5513 last year and may be I well add the SM 300 and the 16610 these year

 

 

 

What do think about that?
