Ok, so I just noticed: this watch seems not to have an engraved rehaute. If that's the case, then I think that definitively establishes that it was a custom job, as any 16600 from anywhere near the end of the production run would have had it, right?

So, who do I have to know/give a vital organ to/have dirt on at Rolex to get someone to make me a 114270 :D :p?!

No 16600 I am aware of ever had an engraved rehaut.

Yeah this is correct, they never had them. Although other models had them by V series.

Yea, I thought the final run of all five-digit Professional models had it (OK, technically, the Explorer and Daytona had a sixth digit by then...).

Yay for my OCD not being triggered by misaligned rehaut!

I also couldn’t resist after seeing the ‘24 dial reconfig, and had to get this guy’s big brother for the ultimate SD duo. I’m going to be eating ramen for a while. What a week for my collection

Its truly an iconic classic. I really like how think they’re just a sub at a distance but then note the subtleties

Great watch and interesting catch!

Never stumbled upon the other thread, but looking through my spreadsheet, I sold 5 V series 16600 over the years. Happy to add the serials in the other thread tomorrow if I get a chance
