  1. Mine arrived last week. This is certainly the best of the dress reps that I can think of. It's much thinner than I anticipated and wears just a bit smaller. I find the size just right. Quality seems very high. The case sits very securely in the "carriage" but still moves nicely. The engraving is very gen-like. Buckle is very good.

    The quartz movement is interesting. I was concerned that it might tick loudly, like a swatch. But it is completely quiet in part because it only ticks about once every 10 seconds. This results in a relatively big movement of the minute hand, but there is no way it can be noticed on such a small watch face. Time keeping is perfect. On the whole I think this is a perfect solution to get the thinness. If you like the looks, don't worry at all about the movement.

    The strap sucks of course.

     

    Did you get the standard strap or gator? Any pics?

  2. Was never really all that fond of jubilee until I wore one. They are so much more comfortable than oyster bracelet and the look has grown on me. They are less tool watch looking granted but on the comfort front superb. A nice option in rotation with Oyster.

  3. TC is unquestionably very good and I would have a 16610 over the newer 116610 any day! The new line of Rolex have completely lost all that made them special in my opinion.

    Just to add I can't vouch for faults on noob 116610 as I have never seen one in the flesh nor would want to own one.
  4. its not that the bezel is big, its the in black ring on the dial that makes the dial seem small in comparison. they did a good job on the dial but the measurements are off, so it looks unbalanced and cheap.

    and as @dbane883 said, no lugholes, pass.

    Its huge, look at how much space there is on the outer edge around the tachymetric scale.
