Reply With QuoteEnjoy your rounded S, never heard that before.
Long story short... I chased a 16610 for a friend... couldn't find a proper one (with holes and no rehaut engraving) and then he literally bought my Sub off my wrist.
So I had to buy a new one... same as the old one. K-Serial 2001. Funny thing is that my old one was K-serial too but it had "Flat S". This has rounded "S" on SUBMARINER.
My fourth Sub. I've also owned a 14060 and 16613 back in the day.
What a boring watch... you've seen it million times before.... but hey... it's the most iconic watch ever. :D

Yeah it kinda goes to "super nerd" territory. It's just that Rolex produced the dials with different font sometimes.Originally Posted by alphajet

Very nice!
Great picture, I'm on my fourth Sub, fifth if I include a 116600 I sold and still regret.
I’ve had mine for 4 years now and wouldn’t be without it.
I hope that Rolex return to the correct case shape for the next Submariner.

Defiantly!
How much are these now? I have a Kermit that after 10 years wear has been given a rest in the safe and is only for special occasions.
Here's my P-serial w/ flat S. Owned from new since 2001, SELs, lugholes and plain rehaut, serviced once, never polished. The most dependable thing, still a firm favourite and it looks like new from a couple of feet away, even though it's covered in tiny scratches. This started my watch collecting hobby, and it would be the last to go.
Why have you put the Kermit away??
I think you can say that without any fear of contraception.

Well one went this week on SC for £6.4K.
I had identical K-serial myself.Here's my P-serial w/ flat S. Owned from new since 2001, SELs, lugholes and plain rehaut, serviced once, never polished.

Yeah you have to be a MORON to get rid of the 16610.
In my opinion the lugholes/SEL version is the best Rolex ever in the sense that it connects the classics and new ones in perfect combination.
