16610lv

I recently took this in a trade with the intention of moving straight on, particularly as I never really enjoyed wearing my previous standard 16610. But, I have to say that I love the classic case, 93250 bracelet feels good and the maxi dial is a pleasure to look at. The added bonus of course is the flat 4 bezel correct for the F-series. Whether it stays long term is never guaranteed. I still love my PAM as a daily, my Big Block is a favourite, but there is now healthy competition.

Very nice kettle, China. Did you take it in with the Darky and Linen’s?

You're getting good at this!!! I have a few bits. I'll send it to RSC if I move it on and get a proper up-to-date guarantee.

I just sold one that I owned for 9yrs. I bought it used for $4400 and wore it regularly and just sold it for $8700. A good investment I'd say, just wanted to get the Hulk instead.
