Rolex 16610 of 2003, Y Series, with hole

I heard that this kind of model could have more value than usual because was produced only in 2003.

is it true?

There are a lot of 16610s with lug holes. If you mean a 16610LV and could prove it left the factory that way, then I'd say you have something.

Welcome by the way.

This statement doesn't really make sense to me.

But I believe that the lug holes stopped in 2003 in the Y serial models. So some Y serial LV models did have lug holes for a very short time, they are very rare.

Welcome to the forums by the way!

For Big JeEzY

I know that this story if ofr LV model, but anyway I read that there are only some model of 16610 (black) Series Y with Hole.

On more question, for you in the future will be more rare a 16610 with hole or without hole?
