Looking really nice. That tritium dial as that slight yellowish tone on the markers. I like it a lot when it's not overboard. That doesn't have much luminious abilities left though.

Here's my review of the 16610 (a bit newer with luminova dial).

Cheers!

Like my 16610 from 1995 the tritium will not light up in the dark. But other than that the watch is a tank, it is also slimmer and trimmer than the new ones.

The lug holes make NATO strap swaps a breeze, a classic piece. I bought my 16610, my first Rolex right after I graduated from college 23 years ago at my AD for $2500 and even though it has several brothers now I'll always consider it my core wrist weapon. Wear yours in good health.

Purchased my Submariner/Date in 2005. Absolutely no regrets. It’s part of my rotation.
