Prefer the 116613LB.

I upgrade from 16610 to 116610 and cann't be more happy! BUT I love maxi case and Maxi dial

I don't have a Sub but recently switched from a five digit GMT to a SD43. This is my first experience with a ceramic bezel and from my vantage point the difference it night and day. The ceramic bezels are just soooooooo much nicer than the aluminum inserts. I had no idea how much nicer until I had one. I love the classics too, but the new bezels combined with the new bracelets are just incredible upgrades.

16613. I don't like the lugs, bezel diameter, crown guards or thickness of the 116613. The bracelet will never convince me to like it. I'd be careful not to be talked into a trade if you prefer the look of your current 16613 - A masterfully engineered bracelet isn't going to change that. Is it.

Totally agree...

Your associating yourself with it by commenting

The glidelock and maxi make it an easy decision to upgrade IMO.

I would keep the 16613. I think it's one of the most beautiful watches ever made. I had one but I was in my early 30's and didn't feel comfortable wearing gold back then.

But it's always a great looking watch in the pictures. Nothing wrong with the new one, either but I prefer the slimmer lugs and "spiky" crown guards on the classic.

I opt for 16613 because of the yellowish date window that matches the bezel font.

For me 6 digit all the way. The heft, the ceramic, the bracelet - it just feels like a much better watch.

Pretty much this.

However, the ceramic bezel is a baller. Upgrade today.
