Did a little window shopping today.
There's a local jeweler who specializes in preowned Rolex
here in town for many decades.
Prices are Ok as everyone who is in the business
knows the current market and is capitalizing on it so
no secret there. Just went in to try on the different
references for comparison...

Main thing is they had pretty much all in stock
except a 5 digit Sea Dweller 16600 and 5 digit ND Sub.
So out of these 4 that I've tried on which looks best on my wrist?
Thinking of doing a little shifting around ...

Picture of 5 digit purplish dial Bluesy just for fun...

Really fun. Thanks for posting!!!

BVLDARI · 18 October 2018, 11:33 AM

ha, not surprised with the results... i am with the crowd.

superstarmar · 18 October 2018, 11:59 AM

Well, I'm not surprised ...

The Sub C date does look fantastic but the ND Sub C
looks pretty good as well...
Once you get used to the ceramic version and especially
if one has a big enough wrist it fits like a glove and
the 5 digit doesn't cut it anymore because the cat's out of
the bag...

So now ...

To date or not to date ?

Please don't tell the misses....

116610>114060

Maiden · 18 October 2018, 01:23 PM

Go for the symmetry of the Sub C.

BakerView · 18 October 2018, 01:34 PM

Sub c +1. Personally the 114060 looks the best on your wrist, or maybe it's just a better picture.

Chadridv · 18 October 2018, 01:44 PM

116610 for me. They're all great though.

It's really tough cause they both have their own appeal...
Another shot of the sub c date .

barad55 · 18 October 2018, 02:57 PM

Sub c nd is the cleanest imo

peterpl · 18 October 2018, 03:11 PM

Ceramic sub with date is my pic but the 5 digits are very very comfortable to wear.

If you like a lighter watch the 5 digits are the way to go. Some people do complain that the bracelets are a little tinny though.

JSMesser · 18 October 2018, 03:23 PM

The Sub no date!

jezza17 · 18 October 2018, 04:21 PM

16610 hands down

juanperez · 18 October 2018, 04:53 PM

My vote for 116610LN too

116610ln

Devildog · 18 October 2018, 05:01 PM

If they were all brand new the 16610 with SELs would walk it for its more elegant proportions.

Sadly the one in your pic has seen better days.

Sorry can never understand these types of threads shurely the one that looks best on your wrist is the one you like.

Scott, my intentions exactly but it’s not that easy to
find a mint 16610 unpolished with SEL’s one can try on .

Peter , I understand your point but they’re all kind of nice
respectively. I like the 5 digits but am leaning towards
the ceramic for more wrist presence because the
16610 lugs are worn down a bit too much ...

GradyPhilpott · 18 October 2018, 10:44 PM

114060

rotiprata · 19 October 2018, 12:50 AM

114060, lean, mean and clean looking.

Boaters · 19 October 2018, 01:23 AM

This one for sure

superstarmar · 20 October 2018, 07:03 AM

What about a late 16610 with Rehaut in like new
condition virtually unpolished serviced not long ago ?

superstarmar · 22 October 2018, 05:02 AM

Seriously thinking of going 5 digit ...
Not one of these though , found a V serial rehaut
Full set in mint condition...

ltmgeller · 22 October 2018, 10:28 AM

Sub C date looks the best to me.

But isn’t that entirely subjective?

BNA/LION · 22 October 2018, 11:00 AM

Sub C date 116610 LN

That’s what I would go for. Don’t really like the super case. The clasp and the longevity of the ceramic bezel is nice, but if I was going to have just one, it would be the 16610. Good luck. Here’s mine from 1997
