Oops, sorry for the typo error! Should have read 16610. The older version, was very comfy to wear, and sat lower down on my wrist, but the lume was quite poor and as the years went by, became less. As someone who tends to wear their watches virtually 24/7

I get the exact same thing on my 2004 Sub Date (16610), fingerprints and little smears jump out at me constantly.

I agree on these 5-digit Rolex sports models you’ve got a flat sapphire with no top-side AR sitting over a glossy black dial. The crystal acts like a mirror, the black dial gives maximum contrast, and the reflection of any smudge bounces straight back. On
