Classic 16610

So, I bought it in May, 2006 - a decade ago. Last year, I sent it to Rolex for full service/polish, and then put it in the safe. Since then, I've been experimenting with different ones - BLNR, Datejust 2, Turn-o-Graph, OP39, new Bluesy...

This last week I put the classic on, and I just love it. At first, I had a hard time getting used to the old clasp, but now all my feelings for it have been re-kindled.

I think I'm going to add a current 114060 to it, keep the TOG, and be happy with that 3 piece collection.

Looks great! I also have a 16610 from 2006, and I no longer wear anything else!

That's a beauty and a classic. If it was your first, don't sell it. We all regret selling our first!

Good idea, the 16610 is the most versatile, iconic watch ever made. It'll be talked about, loved and worn 50 years from now.
