IMO the 16600 is the best reference for a relatively modern SS sports Rolex. I certainly wouldn't be selling it for the 43.

I have no idea how Omega are shifting any Speedies at an RRP of £6600 for the hesalite version on a bracelet. I was in one of their boutiques a couple of weeks back and the best they could do was...
I'll definitely be wearing it, though I expect I'll be a little more careful in exposing it to some of the abuse it's had in the past.
I didn't get the original bezel insert back, no. I believe Rolex don't want these sorts of items circulating outside of their control.
It's not a big deal for me. I'm not a massive Rolex...
Sea Dweller for me, freshly back from it's RSC service.

I did think about this very hard, but I'm glad I did. The watch has spent a lot of time in the sea on four different continents and both the case and bracelet were showing their age.
The pictures...
According to the work performed, they have not replaced the crystal. They did however replace the bezel insert.
The HE valve appears to be different, but there is no documentation that states they...
The price for a complete overhaul (including VAT) was £700.
To add some context, my 16600 had ceased to wind earlier last year. I took it to the RSC in Kings Hill and have had a full overhaul of the watch (this took 3 weeks even over Christmas). I was...
Senraw Snowflake today. Have a good Christmas.

Big Pilot for me today while the SD is with RSC for a service.

Do you get off on posting drivel?
I was wearing the watch all morning, but still no movement.
I'm becoming inclined to think that there may be an issue with the mainspring as I can feel/hear the gears engaging smoothly when I turn...
I did try about 50 turns, but nothing happening. It usually requires around 20-30 turns from dead before I see any movement, so I think there's an issue with the mainspring as I can still set the...
Morning all,
Last time I wore this watch all was working fine, however it's been sitting in the safe for about a month and when I went to wind it today the seconds hand would not start moving. I...
Maybe not for everyone, but I take my 16600 on all my holidays. I can pop it on the wrist and not be concerned that it won't be able to handle what ever get's thrown at it. The bracelet is super...
I'm only going there to collect my turntables from a workshop following a service. I'm not planning to spend a long period of time there, nor pay the extortionate NCP car park fees to do so.
I...
I was in the process of buying his house in East Grinstead in 2015 before he was outed as a crook. We were about to exchange contracts but the deal fell through. Some months later he was all over the...
I expect I'll pop into WoS, but I was thinking more along the lines of independents.
I'll be in Brighton this afternoon, so thought I might have a browse while I'm there. I'm not looking for anything specific, but are there any places that regularly keep interesting stock?
I've been in a couple of times but had been told the usual story that they have no control over allocation and they will be in touch if one becomes available. I wouldn't have thought an OP should be...
I registered interest in an OP around 2 years ago, but have had no contact from the AD yet. It would be my first Rolex purchase with this retailer. In the information pack that they sent me it wasn't...
The F91 is the only watch I wear in the gym. It's so small that it doesn't constantly bash against equipment.
Exposing the explanation behind mine would be a bad idea (and no, it's not the obvious!).
Yes, but their pricing analysists were obviously happy that this was the correct price for the watch and the company was making a decent profit selling them, as they remained around this price for an...
