I don't wear this as often as my 16610 but when I do, it always feels so special.

Triple six and double six have a bit different cases. Many people aren't aware of this.

Thank you for this. I've been wearing mine since 2009. It's more familiar to me than my newer watches I've added since then. My local AD recommended exchanging the bracelet due to stretch after the last service. Not really looking forward to it.

The bracelet stretch is a strange thing. These can be fixed but the repair shops who can fix this issue are very few.

The Jubilee bracelet is even more prone to stretching. I found a few videos on the subject.

Just found this one.

As you might know I'm not a huge 6-digit guy. But this is my favorite of them. The new Red Sea Dweller.

Yes. It's very strange that there is virtually no price difference between 16610 and 16600.

16610 is definitely a classic but 16600 is much more "exclusive" and rare and I'm sure the production numbers are just a small fraction of the Submariner.

You can't tell from the price.
