GMT would be my choice.

I prefer a 16700 and I would not let either watch pressure you. The hunt is fun and if you compromise you will be disappointed. I recently added a 2006 unpolished full set 16613ln that took me over a year to find at the condition (with a fair price). I saw many LB's in that time. I'd go sub based on what you already have. It punches above its weight class.

I’m so glad you wrote this. I just spent about an hour looking on chrono for an lb with 1) no holes case 2) gold through clasp and 3) not overpolished

It is extremely difficult to find, let alone at a fair price. I may “settle” for one with holes and fully steel clasp just so I can prioritize condition, because the clasp gets worn down anyway

I have had a ceramic Bluesy 116613 and sold it to get a 16710 Pepsi which i will never sell. The Jubilee clinches it too!
All steel is just more wearable for me though i love the blue sunburst dial to look at , just didn't love the gold.
