In my humble opinion, SD4000 is the bet balanced Rolex ever made. Just - perfect - .

A future collector !

If you have got one, keep it safe.

116600 is beautiful, and Rolex added just the improvements it needs to get better a quite perfect watch... the perceived quality is of another planet in the 116...

in terms of the Class... no way.
16600 is Rolex at its absolutely best.
This.

The minute ticks all the way around the bezel on the 116600 are too busy looking for me, whereas It's really hard to find anything wrong with the 16600.

116600 for me too, it’s probably the nicest Rolex i have had. More wrist time than the others. Is comfortable to wear and has the elements of the new models with size and feel of the older ones imo

This! I’ve had them both multiple times but now only have the 16600 and I’m never letting this one go.
