Rolex Submariner 16610

What can be said that is really original about the Submariner. A legendary model for many of us. New Rich Roro for others. What is certain is that this watch does not leave you indifferent. For my 40th birthday, I had a Reverso in mind but it was too much of a duplication with my IWC Portofino which I will talk about another day. I was not necessarily a big fan of Rolex but working in reliability/durability, I had a good opinion of the quality of their products. And the Submariner was a natural choice. But it would be a Vintage because I was not a big fan of the latest productions that I found too massive. And once on the wrist, this watch immediately won me over. At Rolex, there are no excessive complications. It is sober, timeless, robust and reliable. The 16610 that I have, from 1990, with tritium indices, is probably the right compromise between original design, quality of the 3135 mechanism and modernity with its sapphire crystal. It is the last of the best Submariners for many fans before the 6 digits, the engraved flanges and the thickened horns. Small downside on the bracelet that I always found a little "cheap" at the buckle level. A good alternative is to wear it on a Nato strap. In any case, if there were only one left in my "small collection", it would certainly be this one.
