Mumdi, sounds like the older style is what you like. Go for it. They are typically cheaper. The clasp is stamped metal and the links are hollow, but as many will agree very functional and also dependable.

The old and new are very different watches in many respects. Both have a following. But sounds like the older version fits you better.

As said the older models will be better for you, and as there are so many to choose from how about a birth year sub? Either way you'll have to do a lot of research if you are not buying new.

I think you're right....have considered the birth year idea too!

I too prefer the 5 digit reference model. Good luck with the hunt!

I am headed to NYC for the holidays... any vintage Rolex dealers there anyone can recommend?

Rolex essentially ended for me with the 5 digit references. You'll be able to find a great 16610 pretty easily. Good luck!
