Did they make "G" serial in the 16610?
If not what was the last letter they made in the old sub before they went ceramic?

MoBe · 28 October 2011, 10:27 AM

I believe so but you`ll have to get confirmation from someone who has a G sub.

I belive G was the last letter before they went random..
I am looking to purchase a 16610 in the next few months and I want to get the last ones before they went ceramic..

I had one more question did the GMT ever have the serial number and rolex rolex on it before it went ceramic?

xjeeunitx · 28 October 2011, 11:10 AM

I don't believe they had a G for the 16610. I've seen random but I'm sure someone will chime in shortly.

Please note that the G and random came out at the same time.

16710 did not have the rehaut before it went Ceramic.

PJR · 28 October 2011, 11:16 AM

I have a 2010 with V ser number. I think that was the last one before ceramic.

Byrdguy · 28 October 2011, 11:21 AM

I have a V ser # also. Sold originally in Aug. 2010.

smallcandle · 28 October 2011, 11:28 AM

I'm fairly certain V was the final designation for the 16610. But I've been wrong two other times in my life...

That's good to know/interesting.

Thx.

Actsulb · 28 October 2011, 12:18 PM

From my understanding V was the last serial number before going ceramic.

Stonedcl · 28 October 2011, 12:44 PM

Thanks guy.. Guess I will have o find a v serial in a few months when I get my money together

MortgageGuy · 28 October 2011, 12:50 PM

Random was the latest serial in the 16610 Sub I believe

snakwa · 6 November 2011, 01:42 AM

G serial then random numbers!

RBR76 · 6 November 2011, 02:20 AM

I think there is G serial number.

I thought my V was the last but apparently not!

If you are looking for a 16610 and managed to find a G serial, you should grab it.

Is this the same case as with the M vs V serial Seadweller? According to one AD i visited, many thought the M serial was the last.

Rags · 6 November 2011, 02:33 AM

I think V & random came out at the same time in 2010..

Christopher_chak · 6 November 2011, 04:18 AM

this is G series of 16610

z32turbo · 6 November 2011, 05:16 AM

I think it's:

V
then
G
then
Random

unlisted · 6 November 2011, 05:32 AM

I have a serial starting in "G" on my Sub-C if that helps any. I don't know if the "G" is a coincidence and it's considered a "random", but yeah.

sgmgolf · 6 November 2011, 09:57 AM

My 16610 is a random serial # and was purchased new in January 2011!

Actsulb · 6 November 2011, 10:11 AM

Thanks for the additional info TRF members. It is good to know.

Stonedcl · 6 November 2011, 12:35 PM

This is great thanks guys.. Now I know when I get my money together.. I will be looking preowned and want a v or g (pretty much anyone with engraved Rehult) and hoping I can score a pre loved one for under$5k.. Well need to save up about 3k more to get there so I am almost 1/2 way there..

The only difference in any 16610 since its introduction in 1988/9 is hardly worth a mention.Around 1998 the change from Tritium to Luminover dial lume around 2000 IMHO the best introduction of the SEL bracelet.Then the mostly cosmetic changes like the LEC in the crystal if you can find it around 2001.Next end of the Y case stamps 2002/3 we had introduction of non lug hole cases.Around 2004 F/D on some models the Rolex Rolex Rolex on the Rehaut ring if you like all the branding thing, and thats about it except for the case stamps.What this means you could buy any 16610 sub and as long as its been serviced there is no reason why it should not last and perform as long as any 16610 no matter what the case stamp.

My 116610 is a V serial.

Have you had the back off to check it has a Parachrom hairspring,not that it will make much difference whether it has or not.
