JJ, I agree 100%. My F series 16610 is on my wrist as I type this. You caught a great glimpse of the coronet in one of your pics. Im always impressed with that!

ijen0311 · 24 May 2009, 08:05 AM

JJ I took your message to the bank and they just called the police

I understand where you’re coming from.

Had mine for a few weeks and really enjoying it - a truly special watch.

I am happy I selected the 16610 and will probably be my only Rolex.

Cheers

JPersat · 24 May 2009, 09:13 AM

migboy · 24 May 2009, 09:13 AM

Your opinion...nothing more. I like the watch, but to say it is the greatest Rolex ever is probably a stretch. There is no one clear cut, better than the rest. That is why they make different ones...cause everyone has their own opinions and favorites.

SubmarinerMan · 24 May 2009, 10:37 AM

The 16610 is definitely one of the best watches in the world!! I'm glad i own one!

Rolex should put this on their website!

Solo118 · 24 May 2009, 11:16 AM

Looks great on you my friend

lawyerwatchfan · 24 May 2009, 11:24 AM

No question.......the 16610 is a huge part of Rolex history and horology in general. So.......what of the replacement due Basel 2010? Are people excited?

Foxy · 24 May 2009, 11:37 AM

JJ has it spot on - this is the absolute classic. Nice shots!

Not too keen on the rumoured ceramic bezel replacement of the SS Sub.

I for one, am very excited. I've debated taking the plunge and picking up a SS GMT IIc, but part of me says hold off and see the updated SS Sub. However, by that time the price will probably be $8000 and they will be impossible to get initially.

Atomant · 24 May 2009, 11:53 AM

JJ you make me want one too!

rsmithsss · 24 May 2009, 12:17 PM

You're right JJ, the sub just can't be beat. It's a classic!

bodybump · 24 May 2009, 12:23 PM

Right on JJ!!! Can we see a full shot of that pic with the bubbles on it?

yemenmocha · 24 May 2009, 02:37 PM

BAH!!!

I was expecting to see BLUESY as the featured Rolex. What do I know?

eddiethefish · 24 May 2009, 03:41 PM

nice pix, love'em all...

Z-Sub · 24 May 2009, 04:42 PM

Well said and was wearing the LV version of it tonight

Chris B · 24 May 2009, 04:45 PM

Great shots JJ

Hamish · 24 May 2009, 08:30 PM

JJ

You crack me up.....

It is a classic but I still prefer the no date....THE TRUE CLASSIC

Imtiaz · 24 May 2009, 09:33 PM

JJ - yes the Sub is the Real Rolex. And probably the most recognized Rolex around too.
