John,

I really like the GMT II especially the Pepsi-Bezel version very much - on photos and on other people´s wrists. When somebody posts a few nice shots of a 16710 BLRO I drool for days about owning one but every time I try one on I back away because something just doesn´t feel right.
For me, the flimsy Twinlock just doesn´t cut it - it´s supposed to be a toolwatch so what´s that all about.

And regarding keeping the SD although you have three other Rolex divewatches: as two of them are 1680 Submariners if I remember correctly you shouldn´t really count them in. RedSubs always run outside of the competition so all you really have is that nice 16613 of yours. And I would´t take that one on a diving trip to Crab Key if you know what I mean

The 16600 is the perfect beater for the times you can not- or don´t want to- take your other Rolexes.


Just my 2 ct.

If it is an option, keep them both and push a few late hours at the job - well worth it in my opinion
