Met and bought today, happy all was good checked the serial as well as all the paperwork from watchfinder, very nice watch but I may change the bracelet to a leather one, feels a lot lighter on than my Tag Carrera calibre 16, which is quite a heavy watch..

Happy to have joined the club smile

Here you go, as mentioned going to get a nice black leather strap to try out as well smile, I have one on my Speedmaster and much prefer it to the steel ones..

Looking good.

Personally I think the Subs look better on their bracelets, but it's a personal thing.

I sold my 16610 about 4 months ago on another forum, it was a 1992 model complete with everything (original box with sticker on, papers, couple of old service receipts etc etc) not just box/papers and original, the bezel was perhaps changed but probably in the 90's so still looked original.

Ended up selling for £4800 and I had it service about 2 months prior to that from an experienced and well renowned company.

It was advertised at £5000 for a couple of weeks until I took £4800 so a 16610 with just a box (not even original) at £4000 I would say is reasonable but keep a look out as for a bit more you will get a better deal/watch which will hold its value all day long.

Oh, I think the OP's watch will hold its value.

Great watch. Not to dump on someone thread but I have a 1997 watch which has been serviced by Rolex and not been worn since. Comes with box and papers. Had the dark bezel replaced as it had a slight mark so as new watch. WHat price you guys think I could get for it? Wedding coming up so need the funds. And not a member on any watch forum so unable to sell it there.

About £1500,but I am in the market for one at the moment so drop me an email and I can probably improve on that slightly for you.

HAHAHA eh no. Put at - least £1500 more ontop and you'll get closer.

So £3k buys it then. Sounds pricey but okay, drop me a line.

Now with the new hand made strap, I know some will not like it, but I feel it gives the watch a more day to day sporty type feel wink

Put me down as a 'hater', sorry. A sports Rolex really wants to be on the original bracelet or a Nato.

I'm guessing it's just a coincidence that you have the same Nato straps, and that they just happen to be very similar to the strap on James Bond's Rolex Submariner in Goldfinger... scratchchin
