Updating from Sub 1680
I don't want to sell my Sub 1680, but the feel of the newer Subs, with their weight and improved bands make me want to update to the 116610. I would get the WGA Sub but like the black dial too much. What do you think?

The 116610 would be a great pair to your 1680.

Or you could get a 16600/16660 for a more modern feel
I ended up with a matte 16660 to compliment my 1680 and 116613 and I think I like it best of all. |

You can always pickup a newer sub, but Ive learned that it's harder to replace a really good condition 1680. I sold a excellent condition 1680 whitesub, then realized I should have kept it.

Why sell it? A 1680 and a 116610 are two very different watches. I have a 1680, a 14060 and a 116600, and they're each very different from each other.
Keep the 1680, add the 116610. |

depends on how many watches in the collection. if limited, like me, i would either get happy with my vintage or trade and go modern, as i wouldn't want two watches that are (relatively speaking) similar and serve basically the same purpose in the collection.
unless an absolutely stunning example or one with a lot of personal history, i would have no problem flipping a 1680 for a new submariner. |

Keep the 1680 if possible. A 116610 or 114060 would compliment it nicely. Best of both worlds.

No, I would not sell the 1680; it was my first Rolex. I like DCheeta's advice concerning the many differences between the two examples. Since I already have a YG Sub, I would have a more diverse collection of Subs. Why does TRF logic always add another watch to their collection? Many thanks gentlemen.

I just went through this same thing myself. Keep the 1680 and add a modern Sub.
