Hi Everyone!
My first post here is in need of help of finding what model of watch this is in the photo below; I think its a Rolex or Breitling diver style watch. If anyone has any possible lead into the identity of the model, please let me know here in a reply!

Thanks again!

sap675 · 22 January 2012, 10:38 AM

Thanks, if anyone knows of the manufacturer or model, please let me know!

p_mcgee · 22 January 2012, 10:48 AM

sap675 · 22 January 2012, 10:56 AM

Not enough detail to confirm 100%, but it looks a bit like a Rolex 16610LN Sub. I have blown up the picture as far as I can until pixelization and it appears to have the Mercedes hour hand (looks like a white blob) and the magnified date on the crystal. Not a stock Oyster bracelet though - looks like an aftermarket leather.

I would go to both AD's and check for yourself. If you are still unsure, I would go for the Rolex Sub which hold their value far better than Breitling - I know I own both makes (agreed - Breitling is a great watch). The Breitling tanks quickly on the used market compared to a Rolex.

More advice - if you are shopping around look on the TRF For Sale posts. There are some great trusted sellers listed and you will save major $$$$, especially for a BNIB.

Good Luck Hunting!

The 12 3 6 9 hour markers do not resemble any Rolex I have ever seen. Of course I may be mistaken, but I don't think it's a Rolex IMHO.

sap675 · 22 January 2012, 11:19 AM

Better detail on the dial if you stop this video exactly at the 5:00 mark:

First of all we need a better picture...to hard to tell from the one you posted. Secondly, doesn't it say on the dial what kind of watch it is. And third, as stated, that is not an Oyster bracelet which comes on many Rolex models!!!

Ed Rooney · 22 January 2012, 11:31 AM

Definitely a 6-9-12 dial with a date aperture.

Looks like a microbrew diver. Maybe ask at WUS.

warren G. · 22 January 2012, 01:11 PM

The picture and video isn't clear enough. The watch looks really big tho. So we can scratch Rolex off the list. For all we know, the watch could be a TW Steel....

snaggle · 22 January 2012, 01:21 PM

looks just like a Sub Date. Not sure if its necessarily the ceramic, but a Sub Date. It is clearly visible to me.. so most porably your looking at a 116610LN

Unless there is another watch in production that copies the exact same bezel as the sub?

Snaggle, Subs don't have a 6-9-12 dial setup though

Chipmunk · 22 January 2012, 01:36 PM

I don't think it's a Rolex.

who is the person wearing it? There is an app which you can use to identify him and then maybe you can ask directly or find more pictures of him with the watch..
Good luck

WingTsun · 22 January 2012, 07:58 PM

It's not a Rolex or a Breitling. Looks more like an Invicta diver.

or possibly a Victorinox.

Neither one so it belongs here.

conrail · 23 January 2012, 12:46 AM

Def not a Rolex or a Breitling - that Incivta style posted above is close though.
