For my San Diego county members... Who has the best selection of pre owned Rolex?

I went by the Jewlery Exchange in downtown but most of the 16610 there were pretty beat up.

Thanks for the replies. I went to Torneau and they had one 16610 in the display case. It looked amazing for a 1999 but I wanted no holes in the case.

Bert Levi at Horton did not have any 16110. A very very nice woman Gloria explained she has a network of wholesalers she could contact but she never called me back.

My search continues. Perhaps a drive up to Bobs Watches is in order. I was hoping to find a close to mint 16610 after 2005 for around 5500-6000k.

For you San Diego area people...

I was at Fashion Valley today and decided to drop by Royal Maui to try on the newer 116610 just to see how it fit compared to the older 16610.

While I had my heart set on a 16610, I must admit trying on a brand new 116610 has me thinking twice. I know the jury is 50/50 on which is "better", however I fell in love with the Sub C.

The Sub C feels much more well made. The small details like the ceramic bezel and bigger hands really make the watch pop on the wrist... not to mention the band is hands down much better. Maybe its a bit more flashy than the 16610 but it still retains it class 100%. I had the salesperson take a picture of watch on my wrist so I can look back later and make sure its not too big. Im really considering buying a new one... I should have never went to the mall!

Nice. I have never bought or ate any sea food from the pier actually.

I used to launch ski's from the hoist and my friends and I would ski to PV, jump waves by the questionable beach (lack of clothing and due to lack of Coast Guard and Lifeguard patrol), all the way down to San Pedro to re-fuel and head back. Fun times!

I have actually had to dive in to that water too, to screw in a boat drain plug because someone forgot to install it befor it was in the water. Not a fun expierence!

I was drawn in a month ago to buy my DSSD D-Blue from Josephine. Somehow managed to purchase just one watch. Very nice AD indeed.

Oh, born and raised in Glendale, but now live closer to Pasadena.

Both Gloria, and Bert are stand up people! You can really get great deals on diamonds from them, and they do custom settings also.
