    Thanks for opinions guys.    I went with the beads of rice but will probably pick up an anvil down the road.

  23. Sub-C 116610 questions

    Tony, I really don't know much about the SubC. However I would try to make sure that he keeps a few general advisories in mind when buying. watches like the 116610 are pretty common. I would suspect that the numbers out there are in the hundreds of thousands as they are approaching 6 years from first introduction. Theoretically they are all the same from outward appearances, however most Rolex enthusiasts know that Rolex makes small changes and upgrades that would go unnoticed except by a real WIS or someone who does a bit of research.

    First off buy the seller. If it sounds the least bit fishy, run like hell, remember this is a pretty common watch, another one WILL come along!

    Next, buy the condition, most of these will probably be in pretty nice condition, but be aware of a cracked insert, chipped crystal or dings and dents that may indicate a brief but hard life, and expensive to fix!

    Third, a watch with all the boxes and papers, receipts, hang tags is worth more than one that has nothing. Easier to sell also if he decides it's not his "cup of tea"

    Fourth, the early release watches (2010) are approaching the time for a recommended service. Rolex services are not cheap, especially from a RSC that wants to change everything, and charge like crazy. Not uncommon to get a 1k estimate for a complete service. So a watch from the same time period that has a documented service would be a better deal than and unserviced one. Also, buying from an AD or jewelry store that sells a lot of watches will most likely be more expensive, but most all of them will give him some sort of warranty as well as a "trade up" policy should he not like the 116610 and want something else, they will give him his money back on a trade, within reason and time, of course.

    That's pretty much my advice, along with doing his homework and using common sense.

    Thanks!  I figure since they went to random serial numbers it's going to be tough to date them.  I guess the newer the better when it comes to the ceramics
