The under recognized reality-116610LN will appreciate in value and charm!

Mine won’t be going anywhere. A damn fine timepiece if you ask me.

Here is a better picture for your aging eyes

Even a child can feel the difference in comfort

Some of the Super Case Subs pictured on this forum look like a DSSD on some arms

Any Steel Sports Rolex no longer made eventually becomes rare. It’s just the way it is.

I like all of them BTW. At their retail price or below, that's it.

Pretty narrow way to look at it. You can still like the watch, but not the price, if you can't afford it or obtain it.

Are those comfortable on your wrist?

To be honest, they are heavier compared to my 4 and 5 digit subs. So, in order for the 6 digits to be comfortable on my fairly small wrist, I wear them a bit more snug and above the wrist bone. They still have a bit of play and occasionally sneak past the bone and toward the hand, but I promptly place the watch back up so it feels comfortable again LOL

FYI wrist shots are the only time I am ok with the watch being closer to the hand.

It can’t be rare when they made a million of one item. A modern sub will never be rare. I think people want there extremely common subs to be special because potentially a new model will be released. Is a 16610 rare? Never. Submariners are the Ford F150 of rolex sports watches.

There are currently made Rolexes that are rare. Just look at the grey market. Rare as in difficult to obtain. High demand. Also, one million? No one other than Rolex knows production numbers.

Easily one million that’s probably significantly lower than the real number. Everyone owns or buys a sub.

That's always the case whenever something new comes out. We can all like different things and be happy with it.

It reminds me how everyone wanted waves on SMP 300 dial. Omega brought back the waves, now there's an entire legion that admires the last gen laquer dial (including myself).

Sub is perhaps quadruple in number! I am sure the effect is gonna be just as pronounced.

Especially if the new sub is 41mm. Million and one purists are gonna want the only sub that's 40mm and has ceramic bezel with a glidelock and superior bracelet.

Hey even butterface gets second looks if she has great body. Same goes for the fat sub. LOL

[Undefeatable]

The current generation Sub is not rare.
Older Subs were tools to a lot of the people who bought them, so they were damaged, scratched, beat up, etc...

This generation of Sub is jewelry. They are for the most part, kept pristine by their owners. Rarity of the older stuff comes from the fact that they weren't really taken care of like jewelry, so finding good examples is harder. I can close my eyes, go on Chrono24, and find 100 current gen. subs that are in damn near perfect condition.

[sagalassos]

Only if those lugs were...

The Sub is the BMW 3 Series of the watch world; you either currently own one, once owned one, or know someone who owns/owned one, and you see them everyday/everywhere. The Hulk is the BMW M3 of the watch world; a unique and overpriced Sub wisely released by Rolex in limited quantities in 2010 at the height of the US economic recession. If you want a rare Sub then buy a Hulk. And I have owned all of the above products.

So is a fat lugged blocky top heavy disproportionate black Sub to many

I would much rather pay MSRP for a Hulk and flip it for a profit than pay MSRP on a ceramic Sub and be forced to wear it

That would be true if the difference between a 3 Series and an M3 were the paintwork.

Hint: it isn't. The correct simile would be a BMW and a BMW Individual, if anything.

10 years of productions

love it or hate Rolex sells everything that they have made

I don't disagree. it will hold value and go up slowly but i don't think its going to be sought after for its case design. it'll just steadily go up in value because its a rolex but nothin special

Completely agree

Rare

Love my 114060 but will be picking up the new bluesy as well. Just tonight I asked a friend to tell the difference between the new and old. The only thing he could come up with is the crown. After I told him he said, who cares! But i do think the new version is going in the right direction.

I would black out your serial number from the picture.

Thank you very much, I like to think that it's a phenomenal watch too

[Wembleyisgreen]

116’s are getting second looks and more appreciation now, absolutely!

[Anthony808]

Although I prefer the lugs of the new release as well as the older 16610LN, the 116610LN is still an awesome watch and I believe there is a good chance that collectors of the future will find it desirable love others. Time can only tell.

[EagleArmsHBAR]

Super case never got to be a Bond watch. Think about that.

[David5807]

Lovin mine

I’ll be adding but won’t be selling the one I have. Both can co-exist IMHO
