Sogeha Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 I have a fascination for Rolex reps that mix up features of two or more models, sometimes they are nothing like any Rolex ever built. I have a couple of real beauties. Currently I’m hunting for a 116610 chronograph. This evening I was cruising Google images and found a new one to me. A DayDate with merc hands and a Sub dial fitted. To my great surprise I discovered it is genuine and totally original. Just in case anyone thought I was delusional, I know 116610 Chronograph reps exist. I believe it has a Quartz movement and I want one. I know it’s a bit rubbish, that’s the appeal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
