DSSD D-Blue Ref 116660 with a short life span Aug 2014-Mac 2018 ?
I'm sure you must have realized among the other finer details, Rolex also tightened up the length of seconds and the minute hands of the D Blue Ref 126660 to allow perfect alignment. In other words, instead of falling slightly short of the inner and outer edges of the chapter ring indices, now both the minute and seconds hands have been extended by 1 mm beyond the minute track. So is Ref 116660 also an anomaly MJ and the next future collectibility? What say you MJ ? I have D Blue Ref 116660 but I'm not interested in having high powered top secret discussions with Jay Z , Lenny Kravitz and Eric Singer

Nice pics, good to know.

Definitely hearing more buzz around the collectibility of this version.

Much less so on the 16710, already a rarity in any form with a 3186.
3186, Zenith movements, short hands, all unique parts of the bigger puzzle for collectors.

For the most part true but what is unique about the short hands is not only have they gone up in value but they are disappearing. This time last year I’d see 5-6 at a time on watchrecon. Not anymore.
