One can't go wrong with a Sub...

Rebel · 10 February 2009, 06:33 AM

Gotta get me one of those!

joeyk · 10 February 2009, 07:25 AM

sub my next target ;)

coddger · 10 February 2009, 07:28 AM

Makes me SO sad that my 16610 is not even 8 years old but has a tiny scratch on the bezel between the 11 & 12 o'clock.

Precisely David!

What a great looking watch - still in tip top condition after all these years. I hope mine looks that in 21 years time - I know I wont!

After I got my first 40mm Rolex - a SS-Sub Date and reading this forum(learned so much since I joined), I just appreciate Rolex as a brand so much more...

Nice watch, friend

Great a nice watch. I own one as well.

Art 1 · 10 February 2009, 09:48 AM

Dalton · 10 February 2009, 09:49 AM

16610 from 1991 so 18 years daily wear during 16 years, one full Rolex service in 2004.

I guess the design hasn't changed much.

apollo · 10 February 2009, 11:14 AM

also, what are the white dots made out of?

BER · 10 February 2009, 11:24 AM

Swiss T < 25 means Tritrium.
Luminova came later and for service parts also.

sea-dweller · 10 February 2009, 11:33 AM

Wow, looks great !

JimC · 27 December 2009, 02:59 PM

That's really nice! Good photo, to show it off.

R1@160@alltimes · 27 December 2009, 03:01 PM

Superb!!!

Speed · 27 December 2009, 03:26 PM

Gorgeous!!!

I hope my Series-Y Sub with nice luggy lug holes looks as mint when it turns 20!!!

ducatidoc · 27 December 2009, 04:09 PM

It is Rolex's greatest strength that the designs are so timeless. Only a very well trained eye can tell an older model iteration from a newer one. This is coming up on 21 years:

MonsterRavingTrader · 27 December 2009, 04:31 PM

if i sell my house im sure ill be posting allot more photos than i currently do. Keep dreaming i guess!! I joined the forum afew months ago to get a better idea on a 1973 vintage DOB and now realise i may have to sell up to own one. Im sure it will be worth it LOL!!!

zak98 · 28 December 2009, 11:21 PM

f16570 · 29 December 2009, 04:58 AM

Great watch and what can you say: TIMELESS

jajo63 · 29 December 2009, 05:49 AM

Wow it looks great. Just proves I made the right choice purchasing my first Rolex.

1000ftSub · 29 December 2009, 05:51 AM

Wow, it does look new

Safetrends · 29 December 2009, 05:52 AM

I like the vintage Rolex watches they really have a history to them.

BTW: This is my Rolex Date.

rpryan55 · 29 December 2009, 05:55 AM

That's the thing about the really wonderful material things in life - superb design never goes out of style. From the Rolex line to a Mont Blanc Meisterstuck to a Porsche Carrera the great and wonderful things never, ever go out of style.

These watches deserve the status they have.

That's Rolex' strength, their designs are truly classics
A quarter of a century old and it still looks like a modern , new ..... TIMELESS watch

A Rolex is built to last, a very rare quality these days.

I suspect that even new luxury cars will struggle to last that long with all that cheap plastic.

deserted · 29 December 2009, 07:08 AM

Brushed look , amazing after all those years!
