Requesting a good advice...
I have a Sub 116610 LN from January of this year and never out of the box. I purchased it from an AD. I was using another watch that I just sold and my question is this:
Can I get change my watch for a used 16610 older and able to put in my pocket a couple thousand dollars? It will be wise to do this or is it better to keep it and use it and enjoy. They say friends? |

Which would you rather have a ceramic 116610 or the older aluminum insert 16610?

I do not think that is more doubtful. How much do you think it's worth a scrambled 116610 from January 2013 that comes from an authorized Rolex dealer and that I'm the first and only owner and how you think it's worth a 16610 M or V? Not to mention the oldest. |

There will always be an abundance of Subs on the market. Go to any gathering of middle class guys on a Fri or Sat and you will see that every third or fourth guy has one on. I say dump it for now and buy another when things are looking up.

While I agree that they are quite common, I would not say that one out of every three or four middle class guys have a Sub. It's a $5-$6000 watch and equals 10% of a lot of middle-class folks income. They are more rare than that. It's probably more accurate to say that one out of every three or four guys have an Invicta, a Seiko or a Citizen. But not a sub. They are of course common to all of us on this forum, but in reality way less than 1% of the population of the world could ever afford to own one. We are all fortunate in that regard.

What else can be worth ( almost 7v years))a watch so old that it must need a RSC service ( $ 800 more o less) and is a model that is visually so small on the wrist that looks like the watches that were using my grandfather. And I am 70 years old. |

Never worn..even though technically it's "used" its bnib...they come up here frequently in that condition so that should give you an idea of the market value. $2k in pocket with a newer M or V 16610 might be a bit of a stretch though...maybe doable if you get good value out of yours and a good deal on the replacement.

Put it on and enjoy it. Most of the time you trade/sell watches, there is money lost.

I completely agree, I work in the heart of Toronto and visit upscale places quiet often and don't see ocean of Subs as I often read about |
