With the new submariner being available now, is it a good time perhaps to snap up one of the last old submariners (16610)? I certainly like the look of the new submariner and should receive one hopefully next month, and must admit I already have the 16610...

I think it is an excellent idea to get one BNIB and to offer him later... If he develops a passion on watches, the green bezel may be the thing to go, because it was released in 2003 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of this model, so it is a link with th...

Hi everyone, I'm an owner of a 16610.. but am I correct in saying that only the 2008-2010 models had the laser engraving on the rehaut? This being the case are these models technically slightly rarer than the non-engraved? Previous year 16610s? Thoughts
