List of all discontinued 6-digit models

I think Rolex has been coming out with new models at a pretty impressive rate in recent years, and they've also been quietly discontinuing quite a few. With that in mind, I attempted to compile a list of every discontinued 6-digit Rolex up to this point. Please feel free to let me know if I've forgotten any!

Milgauss white or black dials can't have sold that well and was only available for a few years , Id guess that they might be rare in the future

Also the solid gold 36mm Datejust has been discontinued, and the platinum 31mm Datejust has been discontinued. The solid gold DJ31's got new movements, and all the DJ36's got new movements except the steel models (116200 and 116234). So:

36mm Datejust 116201, 116231, 116203, 116233, 116238

31mm Datejust 178158, 178159, 178238, 178239, 178245, 178246, 178248, 178269, 178275, 178278, 178279, 178286, 178288

They discontinued the platinum dial to save costs bc it is real platinum.

I see the 16622 w/ rehaut Rolex dial and flip-lock clasp being more rare in the future. My wife loves her watch so much she never takes it off.

Well done on the YM. Yours is 40mm and your wife's is 36/37 right?
I purchased mine 36/37 in 2003. Love it very much and I am not wearing it everyday. It has the classic prestige feels with humble character being 'single tone' colour....

Well done on keeping yours!! IMG_3639.jpg
