I've discussed and I'll be topped-up a little on the other guy's end. Personally, I prefer the 16600. The 116600 is a great watch, no doubt. With its ceramic bezel, improved bracelet and lume. However, I prefer the charm of the 16600 with its tapered lugs and classic proportions.

find triple 6. lol. soon you will.
:D

Just curious, when you guys buy vintage watches, do the box and papers availability affect your choice?

Haha, would love to. But after having some prior experiences, I do not think I'm a vintage person. Too OCD alr.

find a NOS vintage LOL

that might need a hand and a leg, or your entire body
:s13:

my 1680 is the only watch i don't take care because its kinda beat up.
so no point taking care. plastic crystal, drop also won't crack.

change strap, just yolo. no need care scratches. on the other hand, i kinda baby them, even the speedy (also vintage).

wonder if it can be done by a watch technician locally - take apart the watch and add a bevel.

There's no bevel on the edge. Go look at a black bay. That has beveled edges.

Edit: not sure what you looking for. No printed dial like on vintage. It's stuck between modern and vintage. The recent retired sd4000 is a better look.

It seems that your heart is with the 16600. I say go for it! I have been tempted multiple times to switch the 116600 for an earlier tapered lug SD, but I'll see how it goes.

I suggest you get a 16600 and keep your 116600 as the latter could be very collectible in the future due to its short production run.

Agreed! Shot you a link on Carousell, mpcdude! It is a handsome 16660, and although it does not have the original certificate, it has the other accessories, I would even pay a small 'coffee fee' to trouble you to follow me to Rolex to get a Ref. 2100 tool :s13:
