I am loving it! My lovely 116610LV

Just bought this lovely timepiece from local AD. I owned a few pieces Rolex already. But honestly this watch gives me a lot of excitements and satisfaction.

Firstly I have no plan to buy a watch. But an AD I knew well rang me up saying that the new watches including sub, LV and the new Tudor Heritage Chrono arrives and there are only two LV in this lot. One reserved for the boss’s friend and she can reserve one for me if I can confirm to buy immediately and pay cash on the same day. I never look at the watch before and need make the decision within 5 minutes because there are such a long queues in their waiting list. I usually read a lot of post from different forum and also buy watch with lots of research and planning. This is my first time to buy a watch without seeing it in real.

Secondly, except the 116520 Daytona black dial, this is the second Rolex I bought with no discount! I usually will not buy any luxury watches with no discount. 116520 is an exceptional because of its rareness. No doubt this 116610LV is not a special model and should entitle to have at least 8-10% in the near future, but I really want to be the limited owner in the first batch of delivery, so I decided to pay it in list and own it in advance.

When I arrived and finally see the watch, oh it looks much nicer in real then pictures! I particularly like the green gold dial and the new ceramic bezel. It looks so unique. I keep looking at the watch and loving it!

However, the hand feeling is a bit lighter then my 116710LN GMT and the sapphire crystal is a bit thinner then my Sea dweller.

But I like the bracelet a lot cos without the PCL, it is not easy to get scratches then my 116710LN. The bracelet is so comfort that you do not want to take it off from wrist

At present, I love this piece more then my entire collection. I have no regret to buy it because it is so lovely. All 116710LV owners, please share your thoughts and post some pictures!
