We seem to be on the same boat on this, Bill

I really like my 16610 with the case holes and SEL, so ended up chasing down an early Y serial (thanks DavidSW!). It makes the watch look more tool-worthy

However with my Explorer II, I quickly tired of the holes and eventually traded for a no holes case which was 6 serials newer (thanks AlexCollector!).

I still can't get myself to like the engraved rehaut. Makes the dial look very busy IMO.
