If they have a ceramic bezel, the centre links are solid - if it uses an aluminium insert, it's hollow.

Hollow Refs: 16713 (GMT), 16613 (Sub)
Solid Refs: 116713 (GMT), 116613 (Sub)

Cheers

Chris

Maybe I am wrong but I think that latest 16610 had solid center links (as of 2008 - V series)

No latest 16613 had Hollow Centre Links. Any GMT or Sub with 11 in front of the model ie, 116613, 116713 has solid. Same for all models i believe. If I am not mistaken the SS LV and the SS Yachtmaster has solid centre links but their TT counterparts are hollow.
