rarity means nothing if there is no actual (or ongoing) demand for the item.

For me, REALLY RARE means "one of one" known examples....

Yeah.... No one knows the story behind that watch. I could have that exact logo added to a Daytona and then there would be 2. Don't buy this one one bit

This is actually a great point - If it really is 100% discontinued now, it has a shorter production run than just about any Rolex model listed here...

Might pick up one and sell as rare vintage piece in 20 years...

This is the link to this "story"....looks pretty well documented to me...

The white dial PanAm GMT 6542. It is so rare it's not 100% certain there were ever any of them.

Rare or valuable?

Sarcasm? Sorry I don't get the joke here. Am I missing something? Some fine print or some small details somewhere. I have one of these. Same reference. Can't be rare. I've seen hundreds.

J!m · 19 March 2016, 11:19 PM

But how many have you seen with lug holes?

No lug holes on mine. Perhaps lug holes make it rare as you point out. Although I'm not entirely sure whether lug holes, or the absence of them improve the structural integrity of the watch and bracelet. Both the 16610 and 16610LV have seen much rotation while diving with the LV used more at night. I know it's just a minor thing but the slightly larger hour markers make me treat it as a night dive watch. The difference in lume is probably imperceptible to me. But that's the extent of my superstitions.

The point is that there never was any 16610LVs produced with lugholes (outside that one press material photo).
