Wah this one must sell kidney leh.

By your standards, no need to sell kidney lah!

 

[Pagani_Z0nda]

bro coern, in your opinion, do you reckon the premium paid for hulk over subC is worth it? Contemplating getting the hulk...

Thinking of getting the Hulk as well or the yachtmaster with grey rhodium dial. Future target

gx84 (or anyone else with some knowledge about these watches), between the 16660, 16600 and 116600, what to get??

i really want a 116600, but i thought since already have a modern rolex with the new case and ceramic bezel, could look for something with more vintage...

Vintage? 1665 lolol
Double red sea dweller.
Prepare around 25k I think.
Confirm up game.

No point getting transition pieces.
16610 is like subpar only.

Since you have the budget. Go all full vintage or modern.

Just my two cents, during my search for my first watch, I was reading up on the Sea-Dweller and the history (development) behind them and I took a liking to the 16660 (Triple-6).

The main reason being its produced during the transition between the vintage and modern Sea-Dwellers, like its retention of the matte dial, lug holes and updates such as the sapphire crystal and use of the caliber 3035 movement.

But if you are able to source and afford a 1665, especially a DRSD, that would really up your game as GX said.

Just something to share.. I was recently quoted +50% premium for 116500LN by AD. I ain't paying that sum, period. Would rather wait till the price drop or get a different piece.

transition models to me, are not vintage. like they're call, transiting from the old design to modern.

Plus tritium painted plots are way nicer than the mini white gold surround plots which doesn't seem to pop up (don't have the fweels)

1665 great white can be gotten around 18-20k iirc
1665 double red def 25k and above.

if not a 5513 would be solid too. to complement the hulk.

because 5513 > hulk oops. haha
