Hi all -

So I love my DSSD, but I'm finding it a bit big for everyday use. After a full day my wrist hurts and I find myself wanting to take it off during the day. I've always wanted a gold or two tone watch, but never had the funds to purchase one. I have an opportunity to purchase an 116613LN from a trusted seller here on TRF. I was also eyeballing an 116610 BNIB. I'm so confused I and I don't know what to do. Need your opinions please.

I have a DSSD and kinda went the same route. Personally i think TT is a great choice to go with the DSSD. I have a SubC and want more variety. I mean they truly look pretty much the same. 99.9% wont notice the difference. My fiancé still doesn't under stand why I have both. Have you looked at a bluesy or the TT GMTIIc? I would stay with the new models but a 16610 is a great choice too. I think the TT changes it up more and you would be happier with it. IMHO you will find either of those very comfortable but I couldn't go from a DSSD to a model with the older clasp.

I am planning on purchasing a 116613LN this fall. It will be my first. I think it is a great watch. I haven't seen to many around, but I am 100% sure.

I'm not really a big fan of the blue, I'm more a black kind of guy. I haven't looked at the GMTIIc to be honest with you. I like the way the watch looks but I think a Sub is generally a better idea for me. Does the new two tone sub have an "older" bracelet?

It's really up to you. In the current models I prefer an all gold or an all stainless steel model. The all stainless steel SubC is a great watch to wear.

I prefer to the 16618 to the 116618 just because of the finish and deep blue colour of the dial.

At the end of the day it really is a matter of personal preference.

I also prefer the 16613 to the 116613 for the same reason I prefer the 16618.

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it. Any reason you don't prefer two tones?

Well I'd go with either the TT black SubC or GMTIIc in your case. They both look great to me. Yes all the TT models have the new clasps. The TT models are really growing on me. I've always liked them but really starting to love them. I'd try the GMT before you buy just to compare. I like the subtle splash of green the watch has. The black TT sub is rarer (I see less in public) than the TT bluesy or GMT so that might factor in too.

If your looking for something a bit lighter, it might be best to stay away from all gold.

At the end of the day it really depends what you perfer. I would recomend a visit to an AD to check some of these models out in person even if you decide to buy from TRF.

Just a quick note. The DSSD will be going away to make funds available for this next purchase/trade. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

A 116618 or 116619 Gold Submariner is heavier than the DSSD, so you better shoot for TT if you want to shave weight.
