"6 fine adjustments"?

Really?

On my 16618, I have only 4:

Plus of course the possibility to add or remove a link...

Yes. You advised me on the benefits of lug hole models like the one I bought. Date Vs No Date when I was a noob aaaaand, you also gave me advice on the TS I eventually used.

Having never wired $$$ to a stranger before was unsettling in and of itself...so your multiple satisfactory purchases from this guy was comforting!

Well, it can use the 4 and I have used one on the other side in the past so 5 small tune options.

Just joined the 16610 club yesterday thanks to a terrific TRF member. Love it!

The five digits just seem to have the right mix of beauty and ruggedness. My 16570 even more so with it’s fixed bezel and for-some-reason lower price than its GMT cousin and Submariner second cousin. It screams ‘don’t even think about polishing me or replacing that crystal’

I am lucky enough to have a 116710 in my stable but I wonder how it will age relative to the five digit models. I put an Everest on it when I take it out to play.

I just know this 16610 is going to get a lot of use!!

I’m actually growing very fond of this reference...
I’ve could’ve taken the plunge years ago but
thought it was a little boring ...

I now realize how beautiful and timeless this
reference is .... The feel and weight is just right and
the rattling bracelet is quite comfortable too ...
