I came across this watch and could not resist. The price was right (a lot higher than what I paid for my polar), M serial number and the 3186 movement. Serviced by Rolex last month and comes with two year Rolex warranty.

I did switch the bracelet with a SubC glidelock bracelet. Nice match for my 16570 polar.

Congratulations

Looks good on the bracelet too

Congrats!

Awesome. Excellent find. And that lume!!!!

Even though the glide lock clasp is absolutely fantastic, on my Polar I actually prefer the old bracelet.

The old bracelet is great as it is lighter than the SubC. I find myself adjusting the bracelet so frequently during the day, that my solution is to use the newer, easylink or glidelock bracelets and they work best for me.

I never thought that I will like the black dial 16570 as much as I am. Maybe, it’s new additional and will get few days of wrist time and my attention.

Howie · 2 January 2020, 01:25 AM

This is the most comfortable and under the radar sports Rolex in my opinion. Congrats.

sunnygps · 2 January 2020, 01:36 AM

With the SS shortage, the prices on these have shot up tremendously. Can’t imagine asking price on these 5 digits, as good as they are for someone like me with <7” wrist is sustainable.

Then again, I have witnessed, experienced and heard everything folks will do to acquire Rolex SS watches.

I need the glidelock on my 126710. It drives me nuts, I can’t get it right, ever.

The 16750 really is a comfortable watch. Perfect weight, dimensions, slides right under the cuff. I love the size of the winding crown, unobtrusive relative to the trip-lock.

Loving your black dial right now. Enjoy them both!

Lovely watch!

And I'm very jealous of that fantastic lume...it´s dead as dodo on my 14060!

Congratulations; definitely one of the last true Rolex tool watches.

e dantes · 2 January 2020, 03:12 AM

Congratulations. The under-the-radar 16570 is a great choice.

I agree the Glide Lock adds comfort to the five digit sport watches. During the non-winter months, I use one on my Polar 16570.

sunnygps · 2 January 2020, 03:34 AM

My polar 16570 has been my weekend watch. Light, SS bezel, leather or oyster bracelet and I don’t have to worry about scratches and nicks. Bezel and crystal are relatively inexpensive to replace compared to the ceramic ones.

mountainjogger · 2 January 2020, 03:37 AM

Congrats!

SydR · 2 January 2020, 03:38 AM

Congratulations.

Like the look of the Polar on a strap too. Might think about that as an option for mine.

requiemjp · 2 January 2020, 03:44 AM

Congrats
16570 was one of my fav additions in 2019

Looks good.

I keep both white and black in the watch box too.

16570 is a great piece.

vicsdca · 2 January 2020, 09:26 AM

Love the 16570 in black. I wish I had kept mine. It looks particularly awesome on Nato.

Harry-57 · 2 January 2020, 09:29 AM

Nice. Congratulations.

I wouldn't mind that bracelet on my 42mm. Not that I need it. But I'd still like it.

sunnygps · 2 January 2020, 09:47 AM

The new black dial 16570 has not left my wrist all day today. For some reason, I prefer the black dial. I am surprised I said that. I gravitate more towards non-sub black dial/bezel type of watches. One exception to that has been the GMT IIc LN.

Now I am thinking of adding a 16710 to my collection as the 5 digit fit is perfect and I am assuming the glidelock bracelet will fit the 16710 as well.

16570 lume...
