about rolex 16610
hello everybody! I´m absolutely new in this forum and I need to apologize for mistakes I can do. I need help to identify if a sub model I intended to buy (pre owned) is original or not. The store site described it as F Series but pictures rrveal that it has the old end links. Could somebody knows when the factory changed the end link to the current SEL? Many thanks!

Welcome to TRF
SELS started to appear on the Sub 16610 in approximately 2000 with the serial P. The serial F came out in 2003. I wonder if someone switched out the bracelet for some reason? Are you certain about the serial number on the watch?

More likely an older series than F.
We have heard of so many stories when you buy the watch you are given a different one as the store's site picture is only for show. |
