Congratulations C.J. That is a beautiful looking SD, the toughest and most rugged watch of them all (excluding the Deep Sea Special).


Enjoy your watch in the very best of health!

Congrats bro

After hearing you go back and forth over the last week I knew how bad you wanted one.

Now after talking to you a little while ago I know how happy you are with it. Well guess what, I'm just as happy for you

Wear it in good health

Great looking pics and watch.
As for the stickers, I leave mine on until they just fall off. Few extra weeks/months of "somewhat" scratch protection. Really helps on the clasp.

Thanks, all, very much. I'm totally stoked with this one. I haven't felt like this about a watch in a long time. I've been staring at this beast all day long and I haven't the slightest clue as to what time it is

I agree, seems like 3/4 of TRF members now have SD's. I love the fact that there are a lot more 16610's out there, and that on the rare occasion when someone notices my watch, it's always "Nice submariner!".

great watch, I have never understood what the point is to make a watch that is resistent to 4,000 ft though, nor have I understood why they made a watch designed for those who worked in power plants to combat the electroydes ;) congratulations, most certainly, it's a beautiful rolex.
