When looking down the same rabbit hole, I ended up with the Everest PRS-25 (36mm). I did try the 14270 on, (found one still at £3,500 back in 2018 !) before I bought the PRS-25, and it basically made me realise that it was the 1016 I wanted, and not the 14270, and with the 1016 basically now too expensive as a tool watch (and despite what some say, probably as much of a thief magnet as the more blingy Rolex), the PRS-25 was a no brainer for me.
Good luck with whatever you decide !
