Good history lesson.

I purchased my 16610 with Lug Holes and Non SEL way back in 1998.

Still on the look out for a SEL Bracelet for it.

Are there any for sale?

 

Later also acquired:

Datejust II 116334 Rodium Dail and Blue Arabic Numerals, at 41mm I tink it's a tad too big.

Datejust 16233 White Dialand Gold Roman Numerals, 36mm but wear larger.

Explorer 114270, at 36mm and Black Dial it's just too small,

Explorer II 16570, white Dial, size just right.

Explorer 214270, at 39mm perfect size ang my new favourite.

Was just few moments ago reading wiki's piece on the submariner... so many variants over the years. I get people will like the classic pre-ceramic bezel subs. The new post 2012 subs seem bulkier/heavier which is actually what i would prefer. Am so tempted to buy noobs latest V6s ..... don't have the funds to go all out on a TC or franken the hell out of it, just a good out of the box rep. Thoughts from maybe those that have invested in the V6s?
