Still wear mine regularly. It had been sitting in the box but I see a Pic on the net and it reminded me just how nice it is, So much so I let a friend have my 43mm Red txt it’s just way too big for me

Probably the easiest Rolex that I’ve owned to tell the actual time. Incredibly legible dial.

Such an unspoken and underrated watch. Still my favorite of all modern examples. This thread is inspiring to wear mine tomorrow.

Good luck on your search! It is true to it’s original form just with the worth while modern upgrades that we have come to take for granted on six digit watches.

Excellent video by whoever made this on the SD4k 116600!

We're all so lucky!

I replaced my 16610lv with a 116600, bought bnib in 2017 and kept in safe - unsticked in 2024!

Will appreciate its perfection for the next decades.

Enjoy it! It’s the best modern SS Rolex Diver IMHO. The finer details it offers (such as the fully graduated bezel, the matte dial, the proportioned / non-boxy 116xxx case) make it that much more enjoyable to wear.

Rolex knew exactly what they were doing when they made this piece. By far the best sports SS watch.

I joined the club in early July. I traded the 14060m in against the 116600 but for a brief shining moment I owned all three. And then there were two.

That’s a pretty iconic lineup right there.

What a watch. Newer to me. Have owned the 126600 but never warmed up to the size. This has been perfection.
