How rare is my Submariner

[JopsonsCarlisle1960]

I recently purchased a Rolex Submariner 16610 - Black / Black (c)2003 stainless steel, all original box and papers.
The difference with this Watch is it has 2 yes TWO set of original Rolex guarantee papers dated from the purchase date both stamped from Rolex with the Watches serial number.
I have spoke to a couple of serious Rolex collectors that have both expressed interest in it for their collection and I have turned down offers they have both made until I get some more information / views on just how rare and valueable this example may be....
Does anyone know of any other Rolex Watch with a set of 2 punched paperwork from Rolex original?
The more feedback the better so please get in touch.

A 16610 is about as garden variety a Sub as you can get. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Y serial - last with the lug holes... I have B&P but it’s not a Unicorn.

Not sure who would care about two sets of papers for this watch. I would not pay more.

I don't see how this makes it anymore rare.....so it has 2 sets of papers in a world where papers can easily be faked......if anything it creates more doubt about authenticity/originality of your papers if I were the buyer.

I sold my Y serial Sub a few years ago. It had box and papers with it. I had the original papers and service papers. Perhaps that what you have?

Yes sir. I could be wrong. But do you really think two serious collectors told him it’s so rare that they had to make offers?

And considering it’s his first post, I don’t think I’m going out on a limb.

If I’m wrong, I’ll gladly apologize.

I have no idea. I take everything I read on the Internet with a grain of salt.

I personally think this makes the most sense. Two sets of papers big red flag!

That's a dangerously high sodium diet!

[ronricks]

They made hundreds of thousands of 16610’s. Nothing rare about it.

Guys, my 6 digit sub (circa Dec 2015) has the super rare combination of 3 warranty cards. Being that this isn’t the classified section, I don’t want to cross any boundaries or upset mods, so I’m going to ask that you PM me with your bids. If you’re offering less than $100k, save your time.

Auction ends at midnight EST sharp, so you better hurry!!

It isnt. Next case.

[Uhtred59]

The OP has this as his original post with no response. I am comfortable with Super Dog.

✓Would your collector friends express interest in a X Serial TT Sub 16618 dated back to 1992 ?
✓ What if I told the collectors, these ultra rare babies called Onyx dials were obtained from deposition of silica in gas cavities of melting lava cascading down after an active volcano explosion , a 2 kg Onyx rock would be painstakingly trimmed and polished continuously day and night by Rolex craftsmen into a 0.2 mm thin slice of Onyx then mounted onto a copper base plate.The Onyx dials are so fragile and delicate that they had be entirely hand made and cannot be created using machinery tools, the production yield was only 20% , in other words 8 out of 10 Onyx dial would FAIL the Rolex Quality Testing.
✓Is it possible for you to show these collectors the posted Onyx Sub photos below highlighting the super flat surface dial and the Gilt window frame for the date display?
So seriously speaking, which one of the two Subs would your serious Rolex collectors seriously consider? Would they prefer your cute twin paperwork Sub or the rarer, exceptional, unparalleled, unrivalled Onyx dial Sub ?

Are you sure that those pix are of an onyx dial on a '92?

I think Mfox meant 1982

Yes Sir. I could forward the link to you and how to differentiate the onyx dial from a normal black dial

Isn't an X serial means it's either a 1991 or a 1992?

[Ruud Van Driver]

Either a troll or a complete novice.
