I totally agree with the OP; for me the 116600 is total dive watch nirvana!!! A watch made without concession to fads and made for its combined purpose of fashion and functionality. Having it on my wrist makes me crave for no other dive watch!!!

Glad you got her back! Despite the extra cost. Still so nice!

Best sports watch Rolex ever made in my view. Some dealers still have them new in the case.

Since I posted this a few members contacted me. The first followed up with the store I was in and was told they just sold it. Talk about bad timing. I would still encourage folks to call around to various ADs if they want one.

Great piece and happy you got it back. Glad you understand that 4000 isn't too much for peace of mind and happiness.

Great watch - have had mine since 2004 and will never give it up.

How could it be £4000 dearer? Or does that include what you lost buying/selling the other watches in the meantime?

Edit - even then you shouldn’t have lost that much flipping those other popular models?
