Seems it is true that there are some 16600s with V.
Rolex carry both lines.
A guy bought the watch at Swiss airport if I remember currectly.

here are some pics that borrowed from him.

They'll never end, they must have sold about 100,000 of the SDs in the last year

Yeah, i know, as of January the stock will be finished, but Rolex have sold thousands upon thousands of these in the last year, they've sold like hot cakes and a lot of people are doing so because they think it'll be a rare model to keep, but with the amount in circulation and the way people look after watches nowadays i can't see that happening for a good few decades yet.

After many months of speculation. I believe it's a TRF First.

Now there's a thought!

Mr Sandman · 4 November 2008, 07:08 AM

Perhaps Jocke can come up with a M series Double Red with the new Oyster clasp...

SLS · 4 November 2008, 07:12 AM

I thought this would happen, just like the 16710 GMT!

There have been several threads indicating a final release of the SD's is being sent out. It seems very feasible for some serials to be 'V'.

Mr Sandman · 4 November 2008, 07:16 AM

As mentioned before...Show me the watch case not the watch card....Photoshop is a great tool if used well....Take a look at some of Jocke's work.

I am not saying it is doctored and I'm not saying it isnt just that it could be....

I can't believe I'm commenting (and read all these posts) seeing as I think this is a lame 'debate'...who really cares one way or the other? Anybody that really thinks years down the line a V might be worth more than a M serial SD is pretty out to lunch IMO.

But, my main comment is focused at the above statement. If Photoshop is such a great tool if used well, then how is seeing a picture of the letter on the case any different...you can Photoshop the case almost as easily as the card. Seems funny people will NEVER accept a picture of a card as proof because it might be doctored, yet they will turn around and accept a picture of a watch??? If one is truly that sceptical of any photo on the net, then in reality I guess an in-person viewing would be the only way to truly satisfy ones question (then again, I'm sure said individual would start screaming, "Oh, that's a fake watch case...

") When does the madness end?

If you are willing to accept a photo of a card(I didnt mention any photo's on the net

)then thats your choice....

In relation to my comment on basically saying that beleiving what you see as gospel and that it might not be as it first appears is just my opinion...If you are willing to again take it at face value then again thats your choice....

Personally I like to be presented with all the facts and evidence before I make my mind up but then again I'm not a gullible man.

I'm not a gullible man...just annoyed w/ myself that I have wasted more than 3 seconds on this asinine topic...I think I would prefer to watch paint dry than continue to comment on this pointless topic. With that said, I'm off to the newly painted garage...

Cheers.

What would be the point of Photoshopping a V on a card? Seems like a strange thing to do....

Because it would be very easy to do and cause alarm to those who purchased an M series believing it was the last one

But why would the guys with the M-series SDs care?

I know, I wouldn't!!

If they purchased as an investment thinking it was the last one out only to find it wasn't.....Gutted like a fish.

Does'nt bother me but imagine if you believed you had the last sheep in the world only to find the bloke in the next field has just purchased one 6 weeks after you....and its just had lambs.

It's not really an investment type watch, SDs have been in production without any change for a while now, tens of thousands of them produced and no transitional model either. With everything Rolex nobody knows what will be the big thing in 30 years time, look at the Milgauss GV, selling well and going for over RRP, but in 30 years time it might be worth half what a white faced milguass does.

Mr Sandman · 4 November 2008, 07:43 AM

Seems that the same was said about the last of the 5513 Sub...

I agree with agree!!

GBJIV · 4 November 2008, 07:53 AM

Okay, I see the point - makes sense. Personally, I am happy with M....

Are there any examples of highly collectible pieces because of serial number? I know - references, dials, movements etc... but, serial number? I guess there are cases of "high" "low" serial number - do they fetch significantly more money? Just curious...

Andad · 4 November 2008, 07:58 AM

I'm happy with my 'Z' SD. It's 1 in 26 of the Rolex watches flipped by JJ.
Now that must be a collectors item.
The new SD's will eventually finish and I did expect that there woud be some 'V' models. This happened with the Pepsi GMT as it took a while for the stock to run out, now I'm having problems finding a Pepsi in any of the AD's in Australia.
