Incoming 116610LN

After having no luck of getting my hand on a 116610LN from all 3 ADs in Melbourne, my friend was able to find me one from a Rolex Boutique in Vietnam during his trip. I was quite surprised and impressed with the availability of some of the rarer models that they have, e.g. Batman, Hulk. I'm getting myself a Bergeon 1.6mm screwdriver to resize it tomorrow. Anyway, here are some pics of it and also my humble collection. Cheers!

Congrats! My favourite Rolex. Goes very well with your OP. Be careful not to scratch it with the screwdriver!

I would not recommend this watch winder, it sits too flat. I had to tilt the whole thing up, otherwise it just cannot wind the watch properly. Design flaw.

Do not try that on this watch, rolex uses locktite on those models. A glue like thing to keep the screws not moving. I ruined a bergeon screw blade and 2 screws cause i did not know. So i went to my AD and they changed bracelet for me for free. but the screws was expensive though haha

So how do you think the AD managed to loosen the screws?

Actually, it was the AD that scratched my screw and bracelet when I resized my OP, hence the reason I decided to do it myself now.

Just heat the bracelet link you want to remove under hot water for a minute if the loktite is stuck. Comes right loose..
