Nice midsize YM.

My first Rolex was TT Sub 16613. I was in my early 30's and eventually sold the watch because I didn't feel comfortable wearing gold.

I still think it's one of the nicest blue dials ever made.

I was 32 & just finished all my training. Spent the enormous sum of $2400. It's spent the last 5 years on my dad's wrist. He wears the heck out of it.

16700 no pictures I am afraid as this was a time when you wore a watch not take pictures and post them on the interweb.


Seriously the Spectrum 48K and Commadore 64 were cutting edge then.

Used 34 mm no date OP. Bought used in 1970 when I was in the Army. Great watch, took one hell of a beating.
