Tudor Sub for DJ is precisely the trade I’m considering. That said, I really enjoyed how inconspicuous the Tudor Sub is to those uninitiated. When asked if it was a Rolex, I could simply say No which I enjoyed. So next move may be non-Rolex. While I appreciate vintage and contemporary Rolex, I tend to skew vintage in some other brands - 1960’s Omega and Tag Autavia, similar to my guitar collection which is predominantly of the 1960’s. That said, the new DJ’s are stunning.

Congratulations on acquiring a great reference. My 16610 purchased in 1991 still gets the most wrist time.

Excellent! Looks perfect on your wrist. I’ve never seen a 16610 look anything but great on anyone’s wrist. One of the most versatile watches of all time.

I also have a small wrist and the 5 digit sub sits the best and most comfortable on my wrist. Congratulations and wear in good health.

Looks sharp on the nato, and appreciate the solidarity :) I wouldn’t be too unhappy if this thread evolved into a “show your 16610” thread.

The 5 digit references look fantastic on Natos, only issue is most natos don’t “fit” well between the spring bar and case.

Per your request :)

That looks amazing man, welcome to the forum, and welcome to the sub world. I just got my first sub last month, after 20+ years of collecting. Better late than never!
