Incoming - the return of the 16610!

Traded my three 5 digits not too long ago (14060m, 16600 and 16610), with a whole rationalization about how I could do without them. But don't know what you've got til it's gone I suppose. Really missed the look and the 16610 most of all (even though I complained about how common the watch is). To me it is the best of the three in terms of size (wears a little bigger than the 14060m) and comfort (wears more comfortable than the 16600). Now I appreciate it in a way I hadn't before, bracelet and all.

Also sorry about the red line - couldn't figure out how to not show the serial number - guess you can call it a red line sub??

Awesome. I got me a preowned 16610 as well last year for a great price from a forum seller. I'm never giving it up.

How did you make that red line? Is that an error dial?
