RRR 16610 Pics?

Any new Sub-date 16610 owners yet, with the Rolex Rolex Rolex Chapter ring?
I've been hanging out to see some detailed pics, but nobody seems to have bought one, and showing it off yet... They must be out there, how about some photos.
Cheers

I saw an EXP II on the weekend with the new chapter ring.

I must admit it looked a lot less bling that I thought it would, like on the GMT IIC

M Series without CRB

The M-Series Sub Date I finally bought from the AD in St. Maarten (Goldfinger) last week does not have the CRB. Serial No. M002XXX

Hi Rob,

Congratulations on your beautiful new M-Series 16610 -- and thanks for posting the pics!

By the looks of it, the M-Series does not have a Maxi dial or ceramic bezel either, correct?

I don't know. How can I tell if my M series has either?

The very latest M-series Sub Dates DO have the CRB. I saw it in person at my AD.

No, the SS Sub Date has NO Maxi Dial or ceramic bezel (YET!). The ONLY Sub Date that has the Maxi Dial is the 16610LV.

I saw a new YM Plat with it today! That was a bit surprising. I've only seen solid YG Sub's with it.

I seem to remember someone here saying that the ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX Chapter Ring was only on the Submariner without the Date Window?

I'd be interested to know if it's due to be introduced in the Sub Date any time soon??

That was probably me posting that pic of the new COSC no date Sub:









And I know for a FACT that the new M-series Sub Date 16610's now do have the CRB (Chapter Ring Branding). I saw a Sub Date 16610 with the CRB in person at my AD 20 days ago.

So it is confirmed then that the "M-series" is the follow-on to the "Z-series" and that this new 16610 series has CRB?

Well, the M series CERTAINLY follows the Z-series. I have two M series (SD + SS Daytona).

And from what I saw with my own eyes, the M-series SS Sub Date I saw at my AD DID have the CRB.

I've only seen the chapter ring on one other model so far - and that was one I wanted to buy - the WG Daytona. Looked pretty cool but the font was much smaller than on my GMT.

Yes, the new Sub ND still has lug holes (and NON SEL's).

My SS Daytona has the CRB, as well:
