Can Mike Wood guess which Sub this is..?

I was at the Midland watch fair in UK last sunday, lots of very interesting watches there..I asked well known Submariner Guru Mike Wood if he could guess which model of Submariner I was wearing....
For about 45 seconds he looked
Its got a sapphire crystal, traditional sized case without lug holes but with a maxi dial and engraved rehaut and an aluminium bezel (black) insert...
Can you guess which model this is??

Unless I'm buying it I wouldn't care much what the model # was - it looks like a well-kept Sub without its bracelet...

I heard Mike Wood only guess on Submariner's with more logos than you have.

It's a 16610 with a 16610LV dial and minute and second hands and a GMTIIc minute hand.
