The 116610LV is my favorite because it is so unique and the beautiful green dial looks different in every light condition...

Beautiful pictures!

Is it my eyes or does this watch actually have lug holes?

This sterile watch that I assembled myself. I know every jewel, scratched screw, and worn pivot on this piece. It doesn't cost anywhere near some of my nicer pices but it's a labor of love (and sometimes hate). It's uniquely mine.

I love my Rolex, but I've really been enjoying having this on my wrist since I got it back from service. Now if I wasn't so anal about the scratches I've been putting on it changing straps I could probably enjoy wearing it even more. I have to admit I'm all thumbs when it comes to doing things with little screws and little screw drivers. I have the stainless band, too, so that's a real chore to change cause it's heavy and lining it up for the screw isn't that easy for me.

Very cool! Is that an actual oyster case you used for assembling your watch?

Jimi,
Great watch! Have you seen the springbars designed to replace Panerai strap screws? It looks like a screw but operates like springbars. Strap changes only require toothpicks and no more scratches. Check out Panatime.

I'm going to say my Invicta. My collection isn't name worthy at all. The 8926OB is affordable, keeps great time, water resistant to 200m. I bought this watch to remind myself one day to buy my dream watch... the Rolex Submariner Date 16610.

They are sending me some, but I don't think the springbars will work with the stainless. I'll see when I get them.
