New to the forum pics to share
New to the forum here, just bought my first rolex (told myself I'd have one by 25 and Im 24) but am not sure which model it is (16610 I believe)??? It is a X serial number '91 from my research am I right or totally off?... Also at the bottom I notice mine says "Swiss-t<25" and others ive seen say Swiss made, is this just with older subs?
Here's a pic :)  And just for good measure, a pic of one of my dads:

Your sub is just like mine with the t<25 which is an indicator for tritium (radioactive illumination). No longer used. The markers should take on a cream color over time as decay takes place. If and when you have it serviced, RSC will try to convince you to have the dial and hands replaced. You will have to decide then what to do. I said no to them as I like the cream color and am attached to its original appearance. Your watch is nice and I really like your Dads watch too!
