No doubt the 5 digits have it's charm... Fortunately I have both the 5 and 6 digits to rotate...
Congrats...

I don't like any of the ceramic submariners they are tacky. I love my 16610LV and my 16808. The 16618 is also a beautiful watch and I think they will only go up.

Beautiful Sea-Dweller. Not a fan of the Nato strap, though. Oyster bracelet all the way!

I don't think so, they are yellow but slightly lighter. Far from white in the flesh. I was told the Tritium can react different over time on the hand and dial. I guess it's applied in different thicknesses, maybe that makes a difference, or the material it's applied to...who knows!? Also they don't glow in the dark at all when tested with a torch in a dark room. Also no service marks in case so I don't think it's ever been back to RSC. To me it looks in very original condition, I think it's just had an easy 26 years! After doing some research a few others of the same age have slight differences between Luke on hands and face, I guess they could have had their hands changed at some point... who knows! Even if the hands have been replaced I don't mind, I still love it :) https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=358747 https://www.hqmilton.com/timepieces/...ler-16600-8102 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

It's also keeping time within 1 second a day, so really can't complain at all! I think my next watch will be an Explorer 1 36mm... they are still at a reasonable price and such a classic |
