16610 or 16600

[Jonny8]

Love my 124060 but a 16600 was my first Rolex and I reckon I’ll get another one. One of my favourites and also has me hankering to try a 116600.

Decided to use a NATO band this weekend.

From pics ive seen, they work great on natos, which I do like to occasionally wear. Looks great!

So I have a few SDs as of now. A 43 and the 16600, I am completely obsessed with Rolex divers and want to expand the collection a bit more. I have yet to get a sub and was thinking due to how close it is to my 16600 looking at getting a 16610. I want to focus on vintage pieces so nothing modern here on out. How does the 16610 compare? Price wise, comfort, complete sets, etc. thanks!

I also have 114060 and a month ago bought a 16600 as well - 99 SWISS only dial, full set.

All the reasons stated above are correct and I like it a lot more than the SubC. I even see myself buying it again but a triple six with a matte dial as a next one. As everybody's said its a lot more special watch than most of the rest.

Just one more post to go and I am able to post pics of it :)

Okay, I will cheat a bit to get my 10 posts, after this one I can post pics.

What did you end up with?

Love the 11610 and 16600…but the 14060 may be the perfect compromise.

I recently bought a 1992 Rolex 16610 and the second hand in it is the same as yours.

Have owned multiple iterations of 5 and 6 digit Subs, including the 16610. But I recently picked up a 16600 and it’s likely my favorite Rolex diver I’ve ever owned. Perfect watch.

Its the balance of all the things we love about Rolex. Great reference and 16600 isn't even a hot model somehow. Why chase AD heartache when these can be had for way less than a new model sub.
