Rolex 1675 / 16750 with patina
Batman / batgirl
Only pick 1 and tell my why ?

116710blnr because it has everything you need without worrying about it. Also oyster bracelet for sports watches.

In the past, I would have said 1675 all day. It also depends on what year/make the watch is. Trying to maintain original condition can often be a pain. I trust my watchmaker with my vintage watches but normally prefer to send them to the manufacturer, when possible, for services. It's so much easier to not have to worry about modern watches and their upkeep.

Regarding Batman vs Batgirl, I have a sub, so I'd switch it up and go with the jubilee. Makes a sporty watch almost a touch dressier.

When going vintage, the older you can go the better.
The 1675 is legendary.

Huge gaps there. Between the 2 contemporary pieces, as stated above- jubilee on sports watch just doesn't seem right.

Between the 2 older models, the 5-digit is the sweet spot of new-ish performance and classic looks/perfect fits, but the 4-digit is legit.

If I had to take a swing at the question without knowing you and your preferences, I'd go safe and say 5-digit.

Buying pre-owned/vintage is all about the condition.
Also, 5digit is very different to 6 digit.

The Batman on either the Jubilee or Oyster bracelet. I have it on the Jubilee and it is very comfortable.

Benzsiam · 14 October 2020, 09:45 PM

Batman with jubilee bracelet because I like brand new watch from boutique/AD only.

Depends on what you like more.....
If you like a vintage gmt vs modern, get the vintage, they’re awesome pieces and they don’t make them anymore.
It’s just a personal choice IMO. I personally would choose modern for the gmt, as I simply like the modern version better. If it were a choice between modern or vintage Daytona or sub....I’d probably have a different answer. As I said...purely personal choice. Both are great options!

Sorry have no idea what a batman or batgirl is except comic book characters, not a huge fan of the Explorer 11 watches. But given the choice would choose the 16750 as that reference is a proper named Rolex watch.

If brand new you can start your very own life story with the watch.

As beautiful as some vintage pieces can be they require significant resources to maintain and are usually less robust than their present day equivalent which is something to keep in mind if you use it with an active lifestyle.

Just buy the one you like the most.
