I just washed this and took the wrist shot. I noticed that is STILL very dirty. I use this watch everywhere and wear it hard. It can handle it. Proud of every little scratch. It's my favorite Rolex watch and not designed to be babied.

Very nice, a great watch

garyk · 27 June 2021, 09:22 PM

It was my first one in 1979 and I will probably get a new one soon! Cool watch and no pun intended but it’s timeless!

padi56 · 27 June 2021, 09:28 PM

Yes subs are great watches but my personal favourite the 16600 SD.

Yes it is.

It was in production for 50 years. 50 years. Just think about it. Same case, same crown, just subtle changes during that time period. That is amazing.

That's why it's THE "quintessential Rolex".

Lookin good, I miss my 666....use more soap and warmer water on the bracelet.....maybe shower with it one time should be good to go! Still have my 1680(and if anybody is wondering that is a service insert in the 1680 in the pic!)

mountainjogger · 27 June 2021, 09:50 PM

Great reference. By the end of the day you will not notice.

gearguywb · 27 June 2021, 09:51 PM

What a great every-day wear! Looking forward to grabbing a new version soon!

A SS Sub is the perfect go-to watch.

brandrea · 27 June 2021, 10:31 PM

Fantastic pictures as usually Juho. Great watch(es) too

ks58 · 27 June 2021, 10:35 PM

This just reminds me I need another Sub in my collection.

FTX I · 27 June 2021, 10:43 PM

My favorite watch

One_Ping_Only · 27 June 2021, 10:48 PM

It's a great looking watch and why a classic!

A great looking watch and set up to do most anything the owner desires or nothing. A discussion could be had that the SS Submariner is the Iconic Rolex. It is where I started with Rolex and probably where I will end up.

Zuger · 27 June 2021, 11:01 PM

Nice

wb55 · 27 June 2021, 11:03 PM

Agree, can't be a steel Sub. Which steel Sub is a different thing altogether though...

I agree. I have watches "below" and "above" this watch in terms of brand, materials, etc. I wear no watch more than my 126610LN. It is truly the "swiss army knife" of watches. It will always be the "hub of the wheel" in my collection.

Stainless black GMT is really a do all watch! I wore mine 3 days in a row this week!

You can't beat the Steel Sub

Absolutely! Lovely photos Juho, and glad you're wearing your Sub as it made to be in Geneva!

Nice to hear that you don't baby it and aren't bothered by scratches...nor am I, and my old 14060 2-liner has a lot after 25+ years as my everyday watch! It has taken everything I've thrown at it. May you wear your Sub for many more years in good health...

The most perfect Submariner to date.

Oldfellow · 28 June 2021, 08:11 AM

I agree, the Sub is tops.
Lovely photos as usual.
I love my 16610 and look forward to finding a 16600 in great condition one day.

Congrats, great watch, but there are many many watches far superior.
