Congratulations

Rolly.BT · 17 March 2019, 06:54 PM

That's one fine specimen of a watch! Congrats!

At least get a water resistance check done. This is my biggest dislike of when people talk about service lengths and “should I shouldn’t I” questions on a dive watch that’s assumed water resistant.

Nice watch.

bowsersdaddy · 17 March 2019, 07:58 PM

Congratualtions, such a beautiful watch.
Love the case proportions of the 5 series, and with the maxi dial it is very special.
I remember seeing them for half the current going price a few short years ago, and imagine they will be double current prices soon..... Bother!

A beauty, congrats!

You did not pick up a Rollie you bought a Rolex 16610LV.

Personally I would get it checked and serviced for piece of mind..to make sure it's as it should be..especially having spent so much..
As there are a few that are not 100%

And if you are lucky may come back with a flat 4

Sounds like the way to go....

1William · 17 March 2019, 10:21 PM

Congratulations. I would wear it for a while and see if it needs a service.

travisb · 17 March 2019, 10:33 PM

Congratulations! I tried one of those on last week and was reminded how great that reference is.

Thank you all for the kind wishes on the watch.

Very true. :)

RolieKid · 18 March 2019, 09:50 AM

Hmm, I just looked up on Chron24 what an "F" series is worth. Wowzers. I guess I got a good deal.

Do you guys add your Rolex's to your home insurance policies? Technically, I'd have to add this one and the President. I am sure it's not going to be cheap. :(

My entire near 20 year watch collecting experience suggests that you're totally wrong. Servicing a modern-ish Rolex every 3 years is a total waste of money.

5-7 is much more reasonable, but even 7-10 is probably OK.

Chrono24 is mostly BS prices, being asked by people hoping to snag someone willing to overpay - that is if they actually even have the watch that's listed.

Todd Turbo S · 18 March 2019, 10:29 AM

Didn't buy it to flip. I've been looking at this watch for years. It, to me, is just classic and timeless.

I do with Rolex would sue Invicta and the other watch companies for copying the Submariner design. Some of them look awfully close to the Rolex's.

Fabrice M · 18 March 2019, 10:57 AM

Definitely don’t need to be serviced unless there is a problem. I have a 1966 airking which was serviced once in it’s lifetime, and there wasn’t even anything wrong with it, but the crystal was scratch and needed replacing, so I decided to do an overall. I also own a 1973 explorer which was only serviced twice in its lifetime. The whole “ it should be serviced every 5 years” is completely unnecessary UNLESS YOU ARE A DIVER, IF YOU DIVE A LOT, SEALS NEED TO BE CHANGED EVERY 3 to 5 years. And if you are a pro or technical diver, every year or two.

inadeje · 18 March 2019, 11:38 AM

Ver nice. I wouldn’t service until it loses time or stops.

HACKNSACK44 · 18 March 2019, 11:53 AM

I have no idea why you're responding to my comment with these words, but... OK. I like my LV a lot too. I should wear it more.

Also, FYI - most modern divers watches don't look like a Rolex Sub. The Rolex Sub looks like the first dive watch: The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms

The second part just popped into my head as I was watching a Youtube video comparing Invicta and Rolex. I probably should had left that part out.
