Functionally, a 16610 is superior to a 1680: higher depth rating, quickset date.

But the 1680 was the 1st Sub date, and it's really cosmetically that I much, much prefer it to the 16610.

I understand - I'm guessing you're a bit older than I am (37) so I've more grown up with the look of the 16610. I love 'em both, but those white gold markers....ahhhh...
