Collection
In a captivating post, WatchProSite member Clueless_Collector shares a curated selection of timepieces for the week, highlighting a preference for straps over bracelets. This personal rotation offers a unique glimpse into a collector's evolving tastes and the enduring appeal of both vintage and contemporary references. Clueless_Collector's detailed descriptions and accompanying imagery invite fellow enthusiasts to appreciate the nuances of each watch.
The Submariner Date reference 16610LV, often recognized by its distinctive green bezel, was introduced to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Submariner line. This particular reference stands out from the standard Submariner Date models due to its unique colorway, offering a different aesthetic while retaining the core design principles of the collection. It represents a specific period in the Submariner's evolution, bridging classic design with a celebratory touch.
This reference features a 40mm Oyster case crafted from 904L stainless steel, paired with a matching Oyster bracelet. It is equipped with the self-winding Rolex Caliber 3135, a movement known for its precision and reliability, offering a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal, and its construction ensures a water resistance rating suitable for its intended use.
For collectors, the 16610LV holds particular appeal due to its limited production run and unique bezel color, distinguishing it from other Submariner Date references. It is a notable variant within the Submariner family, offering a distinct visual identity while maintaining the robust engineering associated with the model. Its place in the lineup is marked by its anniversary significance and its departure from the traditional black bezel.
Incredible grouping.
Original setup looks ok too.
Your collections continue to be varied and unexpected! Love it! Have a great week!
Fall is the nicest season in the Pacific NW so yes, autumn is in the air. Thank you kindly for the nice comments, Tim.
My favourite pieces in your collection are the Patek Pilots watch and the chopard (from this week). World class collection!
Never thought my collection can be classified as World class at all…still very far from high horology and still don’t have grand complications yet. Thanks very much, you made my week and weeks ahead 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
