I was looking in the FS section and noticed newer serialed subs and sea-dwellers (16610 & 16660 only) have what appeared to be hollow center links.... Any input is appreciated!

They do have the hollow centre links. Generally put, if it's the tuna can clasp, then the centre links will be hollow, if it's the new clasp then they'll be solid. As of now all new oysters except for the original YM and the 14060M have solid centre links and the new clasp. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong though!

Oh I didn't know the YM had hollows too. Thanks for the info!

All 16610's and all 16660's have the "hollow" centerlinks.

No problem! The "original" YM does, but there have been rumours that that model is getting killed off though. If not I'd expect the bracelet to be updated soon (hopefully!)

Rumors.

I'm not aware of any rumor coming true, but I haven't been at this very long.

I'm hoping that they're not true, rather that they will update the YM as I really want to get a 16622 at some point

the ym has solid middle links for sure

Tools, if you have any input on this... Does the 16622 have hollow or solid centre links? I know the YMII has the new solid bracelet but if I remember correctly, the "original" YM still has the old tuna can clasp and the hollow centre links. Hopefully some light can be shed on this mystery!

I know for sure the YM has the "Tuna Can Clasp". But I don't know if the PCL's are hollow or not. It's hard to see in the pictures...

The YM II has solid links. All YM have solid links with old style clasp except for the TT which has hollow links.

So I'm assuming that the 16613's have solid gold center links correct? Not hollow like the stainless 16610 and 16660?

Wow, I cannot belive Rolex used hollow links for that long!

I'm somewhat new to the Rolex game but I have browsed thousands of posts (and FS section too) and the hollow links on all models except the newer ones never stood out to me. I was under the impression that the only model made with hollow center links was the 14060 and the older 16610's, like pre-2000)

Hey All! (First post here by the way!)

I'm going to be buying the 116610LN in the next 1-3 months (hopefully!) and was just wondering about the hollow/not hollow link question with regard to this model... does the 116610LN have hollow center links?

Besides being hollow or not, what advantage(s)/disadvantage(s) are there to this with this model?

Thanks!!

Wow, I never knew that they used hollow gold center links. That's very interesting. I guess that explains the price increase on the gold models later in time (along with the skyrocket prices of gold).
