Icon20 Just acquired 16600 z-series Complete set Mint!

I am exited to show my new 16600 Complete set.
Not a blemish on her. I understand how you all do not want to wear her. Even the hinge( buckle) is Extremely tight. Must have been a safe queen.

I even caught the hidden crown on the crystal.

So here are some pics:

It feels a little snug. I had another 16600 with same links and it fit fine, since this one has hardly been worn I need to find another link, dang it...unless it gets cold here in Texas. NOT!

That will be worth some coin one day. I don’t see why they screwed with the design, that is the perfect modern Rolex.

You say there is not a blemish on her


.......however, from your wrist shot, the bottom of the 7 o’clock lug looks chewed up to me

Can you see what I’m looking at, or is this just distortion?

My favorite reference. I am surprised they can still be acquired at reasonable prices compared to other models

Ok, I am obsessed with a Deep-sea 116660. I really am fortunate to own this reference 16600 now, but all day I cannot stop looking at the 116660. That watch is so B.A.

Please talk me out of trading this 16600.

Probably want to field replies from the General Forum for that reference as it’s not vintage whatsoever. That gang will give you all the support you want.

As for taking you OUT of it, how about this: like all modern Rolexes, they all look exactly the same, are designed and produced using computers, they’re sterile, boring, chunky big and ugly.
