Mine was a 116520 Black dial 1.5 years ago. But traded it for my current Zenith 16520 daytona. I love this piece!!

Purchased a new 1973 model Submariner/1680, in 1975.

Chris_FL · 1 September 2010, 02:53 PM

MagedMS · 1 September 2010, 04:52 PM

A [W] serial 16610 Sub Date..

Zed82 · 1 September 2010, 05:38 PM

My first was my 16610LV which i bought in may 2010. When I bought my Planet Ocean i thought that the Submariner was an obsolete design but then it began growing on me and I couldn´t resist it at the end.

I knew that Rolex was going to discontinue the 16610 so i had to have it. With the price increase and the new model in mind i´m glad that i bought my LV when I did.

darylc · 1 September 2010, 06:01 PM

Datejust 16200

TSW · 2 September 2010, 04:46 PM

My beloved 2003 Submariner 16610 that i still got and use everyday at work

gold canyon · 2 September 2010, 05:03 PM

My first Rolex was the black dial Explorer II. I bought it at Ben Bridge June 6, 2000. I traded it last Fall. My second one was a SS submariner. I gave it to my father before I traded that one too. (I know he would never trade it because it's his favorite watch now.)

RRGHOST1 · 2 September 2010, 05:36 PM

I bought a Submariner/Date in '75 for £336($525),unfortunately stollen out of my house in '83. Still miss it to this day.

jeremyam · 2 September 2010, 11:08 PM

16610- black on black baby! i like the design, heritage and versatility- didn't have eyes for anything else, purchased in Spring of 2010.

a submariner date!!!

Al1988 · 3 September 2010, 06:07 AM

GMTiic during my first year of university. Just doesn't feel right wearing any other watch.

scottielover · 3 September 2010, 06:24 AM

Mine was a TT date with Jubilee bracelet and champagne dial in 1987 for my 35 birthday. I got my TT blue sub for my 40th. AND my other 3 after I joined this forum

. Let's see, I do have my 58th coming up....................

689maple · 3 September 2010, 07:14 AM

My first was a stainless date, smooth bezel, gray (slate?) stick dial. Bought in 1983 and paid $780 dollars which was a fortune for me at I was in my last year of law school. goodness I loved that watch. It was stolen in 1992. Since I have joined the forum, about 3 weeks ago, I GOT IT BACK. Hope springs eternal. Some idiot pawned it, of course I don't know where its been but my dail is now a refinished baby blue super ugly color. I am advertising on the WTB section for a dial for it to replace it to its former glory. The Ad told me it was mucho trouble to send to rolex with the refihished crap dial and best to send to a trusted jeweler to service. Off it goes as soon as I find a dial. sorry this is so long.

wjrw592 · 3 September 2010, 08:08 AM

My first was a SS Sub date that I sold (regret doing so) and then bought another
one in July of this year as it was my time to get back into the Rolex world.

mikefrmnj · 3 September 2010, 08:17 AM

1999 will never sell my first. Who am i kidding, once I get one it never goes away.

Zed Homme · 3 September 2010, 08:22 AM

My first was a SS Datejust with a white tapestry dial. I still have it.
