Request: 16808(1680/8) and 116618 comparison pics?
Hi folks! I don't believe I've posted here before 
I have a 16758 transitional GMT, and I like it so much I'd like to add more gold to the collection, this time with an oyster bracelet
What has attracted my attention is the 16808 transitional Sub, and its plexi predecessor. But I am also strangely attracted to the modern ceramic models, 116618 (and the 116718 GMT).
Is there anyone owning both generations of gold nuggets?
Would it be possible to ask for a comparison picture? I would love to see the difference in gold hue and looks.
The vintage gold has a nice warmth to it, but the practicality of a new, modern watch would also be nice.
Thank you in advance!
